Hot Wheels Freeway
Ойын-сауық
Chris Burden's Metropolis II is a futuristic system of 18 roadways, including one six lane freeway, and HO scale train tracks. "Hot Wheels" cars speed through the city at 240 scale miles per hour. Approximately 100,000 cars circulate through the dense network of buildings every hour!

My dad, Cookie Lind, would've loved that! He collected Hot Wheels from the day they were released until the day he died in March of 2011. My mom worked for Mattel when they came out in 1968 so he had a massive collection of them. He loved going to the conventions where he could hang out with all the other Hot Wheels fanatics. He became close friends with Carson Lev, an ex-Hot Wheels designer. I'm sure wherever my dad is now, he's racing his Hot Wheels and talking endlessly about them with anyone and everyone!

This giant toy car track is so awesome, I'm surprised that we didn't get a Hot Wheels City/Highway 35 version of it yet. That would have been SO AWESOME to see if there was such a version of this track!

Never boring! That looked like a great place. Would love to see you guys build a car ramp running along your railroad. Gonna pass this video onto my grandson who is a hot wheels car collector. Thanks for another great adventure.
I was fourteen(14)years old when Hot Wheels came out. My very first car was the Custom Mustang in red. forty some years later I started collecting these little gems, these and matchbox cars. Then I discovered all the 1:64 scale variants from other manufacturers. I have at least 1,000 cars between Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightening, M2 and Greenlight makers. Don't care much for the fantasy cars, just the production "muscle" cars of that era. I don't play with them, just collect and store them away in my private collection. Love this video. I was wondering when someone would build something of this magnitude, totally awesome.

YES!!! I was into matchbox. Still am. Saw hot wheels as ruining the "hobby". Hatted, and still do, the fantasy "kid" cars. Give me a stock 65 mustang GT. AND the idea of running on a track... Thought that was a sin. Mine were in the box!!! The box was COOL!!!!! Anyway time change and we evolve. LOVE the big tracks, my best cars are M2 I think. BUT still prefer Matchbox, in the box.
YEs, this is very cool! Thanks for posting this!

I was gobsmacked with this video, Thank You for mentioning it in a reply, where I mentioned Marty's Matchbox Makeovers and that I had subscribed, (?) then I went to check out my subscriptions and noticed that your Toy Man Television channel was not among them!!!! I don't know how that happened, I know I wanted to sub, then I couldn't remember your title to find you again and was about to go through my viewing history, when I saw I had new notifications, among which was yours with this cool link to these "Hot Wheels" art/sculpture. By the by, I really like your little retro rocket logo sputtering then rocketing away, reminds me of Wile e Coyote's creator Chuck Jones humorous style for some reason (maybe the sound effects). Seems you both are pretty much into anything and everything toy related (and more, I remember collecting Rat Fink cards and Tattoos when I was a kid, long gone, but the images of that art were burned into my brain as just some of the coolest stuff I'd ever seen) so, had you not included a link to this video, it may well have taken some time to find it. Can you imagine having a set up like that in your shed, or having a wife that would allow you to ( on that point, I wonder if he is married/still married?) have a set up like that in your shed/man cave? Really enjoyed this, Thank You. Carlos.

Hi. Yea the hot wheels track is amazing. Really fun. I love that it’s considered art! That’s a great museum. Weird mix of natural history with mammoths and saber tooth tigers. And art including auto design, films, posters, industrial designs. As mixed up as Los Angeles. So it fits. Chris Burton comes up with crazy crazy stuff. And he gets huge grants to do it. Getting paid to build the ultimate hot wheels track!! Now that’s high end screwing around
Very cool variation of a Rube Goldberg Machine.

Right? This is metropolis 2. Metropolis 1 was mostly the same. Smaller and used real hot wheels cars. So nosy you needed ear protection. And the cars failed after a few months. So Chris redid it bigger and made his own cars! These are made by taking real ones and making molds off of the bodies. Then casting thousands of them of solid urethane. And small rubber wheels. Heavier. Faster quieter. Not as good looking. But dang cool.
Great way to drive cats crazy!

Sorry to be "that guy" but the cars used on Metropolis 2" were not HOT WHEELS. They were cars that were made in China just for this exhibit. Chris did NOT use Hot Wheels for Metropolis 2 because the axles on the Hot Wheels couldnt handle the continuous, almost none stop movement. It was an issue he had with the Hotwheels on the first Metropolis. Because Metropolis 2 is a lot larger than Metropolis, he decided to use a different vehicle company.

Yup. Cast cars. The original ones were also so noisy people could not be in room with it. But the original plan was hot wheels and people have interest in those. So I cheated a bit. They are very much based on hot wheels and that concept.

The creator of hot wheels was married to the creator of Barbie... yeah, and hot wheels got the name when the creator was standing around with buds and deciding a name for the toy cars... being the 60s at the time a friend walked in the room picked up one of the cars and said, " WOW THATS SOME HOT WHEELS YOU GOT",,,,, good thing it was the 60s at the time.🤣
