The Memphis Suspension Railway connects the city center of Memphis with the entertainment park on the island Mud Island. It is under a footbridge over the Mississippi. The relatively short course covers two cars, which possess their own driving bar in each case. Due to the small width of the bridge the meeting of the courses is possible only in the bridge center. There is an alternate place, how it is to be found usually only with endless rope haulage systems. Contrary to its model from Wuppertal the course runs in Memphis on rubber impellers. Besides it, similarly as the overhead-railway, does not have drivers and from a central directing center on its zweiminuetigen travel is steered. [1] [2]
In the film the company uses Mitch McDeere (Tom Cruise) on its escape the suspension railway.
