In Shanghai, China, they have the "mother" of all bullet trains--the not-so magnificent Maglev. It's a 7-minute ride from a Shangahi subway station to the new airport. It gets up to about a 250 mph full speed (for about 2 minutes) before starting to slow down upon arrival. RT is $10. It's great if you're going to or from the airport with no more than carry-on luggage, but it's not worth it as a thrill ride as it almost seems that you're not moving becuase it's so smooth.
