Jul 7, 2008 - You're so lucky to have the possibility to take a real ride with the Transrapid. In Germany there's only the test-track, yet. Our politicians are some kind of crazy. If I sat in parlament the Transrapid train would already connect the most capitals of Europe ;o).

Jul 7, 2008 - before shanghai, i dreamed of going to Germany but it was too far from the Philippines and it would cost me a lot, at 2006 i heard that transrapid is operating in shanghai for more than a year so went there right away, then i visited Germany the same year but i never went to emsland....so this 2008 i went back to shanghai JUST TO FILM THIS! LOL

Jul 7, 2008 - after a crash in september 2006 the transrapid doesn't run anymore on germany's test track in emsland for visitors. but the failure which causes the crash was a failure by humans, not a technical one.

Jul 7, 2008 - This is the future transport, replacing the airplane. Humans are amazing in inventing things when they realised the nature is getting screwed up... :)

Jul 7, 2008 - actually the humming speed is like the metro here so I can guess it's the electro motors running that makes this humming sound...

wowiejunior Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - it is!!! and if you listen to it live, its like listening to a loud sub woofers, much louder than the one we always here in metros.

tasmandevil0811 Says:
