What's the fastest a tourist can go terrestrially?
score:2
Accepted answer
mlc gave an answer in the comment section, which attracted 4 upvotes, indicating that the Shanghai Maglev is the fastest a tourist can go terrestrially:
As you identify in your question, the Shanghai Maglev is the fastest train in the world in regular passenger operation, there is no faster car or boat which "a tourist can buy/rent/enter decently easily," and you rule out aircraft. – mlc May 9 at 17:26
Some interesting comment on the usefulness of the Maglev's fast speed:
The problem with the Maglev is that it ends at Longyang Road at the outskirts of town in Pudong. In most cases you still need a substantial subway ride to get anywhere useful and the connection isn't great in the first place. For such a short distance, the top speed doesn't really make a difference other than bragging rights: The difference between 300 km/h and 431 km/h translates into a measly 50 seconds of saved travel time. – Hilmar May 9 at 20:48
I'll mark it as the accepted answer till someone find something faster.
Other ideas:
- Drop towers: Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom is the fastest drop tower ride in the world but only goes up to 137 kph.
- Roller coasters: Formula Rossa is the world's fastest roller coaster with a top speed of 240 km/h.
