Sounds like FUN! Don't wanna wait till 2027?

A nice way to make some additional money for further research
and development, too.

It'll cost ya ¥2,500 (about $25.00 dollars US). Speeds are 500 km
(about 310 mph) which is 42 mph faster then the Shanghai Maglev.
(That ride will cost you about $17.00).
