“Metropolis II has 1,100 diecast cars traveling on 18 roadways “including one six-laner,” says Burden.”

Imagine getting into your car or truck and getting on to what you might call a load-on ramp at the expressway and being propelled to 230 mph – would be quite a rush!
Think of the time savings – for some of us, that would be just fantastic to have some extra time to enjoy life.

It’s like a complex marble track for hot wheels – mind blowing. Love the construction materials – erector-set-like. What a wild juxtaposition of old world trains and the new cars in this future scenario.
Amazing! I wonder if it works with Cars cars… 🙂
Totally neat!
Wow!
That is really cool.
