My visit to Miniatur Wundertland In Hamburg, Germany

Miniatur Wunderland is astounding. Measuring over 1300 square meters with moving trains (the largest miniature train track in the world, actually), moving cars and trucks, over 215000 individually sculpted figurines, and many functions which range from a crowd doing "the wave" to a working roller coaster, Miniatur Wunderland takes your breath away in a way that only LEGOLAND can (when it's one of the better LEGOLAND's).

Anyway, I know if you're anything like me you're aching to see that miniature working roller coaster, so I'll give you the video right now so we can get that out of the way:


Crazily amazing, right? I mean, I know the mechanics are probably fairly simple, but for some reason a miniature roller coaster really blows me away.

Then there's stuff like this, a functioning depiction of people doing "the wave" at what appears to be a rock concert or something:

Phenomenal. 

And then you come across simple things like this, a train crossing a bridge, that really are beauty in motion:



And here's one of two trains:


Some nice pics:









An astounding place to visit!
