The Roosevelt Island Tram is sliced, diced, and concatenated into a caterpillar-like transit vessel in this short film, Funicular, recently posted to Vimeo. I know many people who say you could not pay them enough money to ride the Roosevelt Island Tram. This video might convince others of the same, should they be fooled into thinking the Tram actually functions like this.

Director Fernando Livschitz uses similar digital editing techniques in this film, Buenos Aires, in which amusement park rides roar through the skies and buildings of that Argentinian city. All good fun:
