I first saw this on Discovery \'how do they do it\' and the planes travel back underneath the runway.

All the vehicles have their own battery - they drive themselves off the model and into little bays where the wing mirrors act as pick-ups, they recharge and set off again.

They have a control centre like a space station with about 40 screens and quite a few ppl working it all.

Just mind blowing

I saw this a while ago too.
As amazing as it is i kinda missed the point of it. It costs so much to make and run. Why?

I think wunderland is all about tourism and money. Is a huge attraction.
It also incorporates the biggest miniature railway as well.
