You'd have to go around the Cape Horn.  \n\nAnd I can't answer the question because I don't know how fast you're going.

I just watched the show on Super Coasters and this guy was talking about using the BofA building in San Francisco as the launch, it would be a 9 second drop at 150mph, and with the first hill, you would have 11 seconds of free floating air-time.  The ride would continue to the Golden Gate Bridge (5 miles away) and then to the top of the tower for a 1000 foot drop reaching speeds of 220mph.  Now that’s a ride.

Nearly 500 rivers lace Panama's rugged landscape. Mostly unnavigable, many originate as swift highland streams, meander in valleys, and form coastal deltas. However, the Río Chepo and the Río Chagres are sources of hydroelectric power. \n\nThe Río Chagres is one of the longest and most vital of the approximately 150 rivers that flow into the Caribbean. Part of this river was dammed to create Gatun Lake, which forms a major part of the transit route between the locks near each end of the canal. Both Gatun Lake and Madden Lake (also filled with water from the Río Chagres) provide hydroelectricity for the area of the former Canal Zone. \n\nThe Río Chepo, another major source of hydroelectric power, is one of the more than 300 rivers emptying into the Pacific. These Pacific-oriented rivers are longer and slower running than those of the Caribbean side. Their basins are also more extensive. One of the longest is the Río Tuira, which flows into the Golfo de San Miguel and is the nation's only river navigable by larger vessels

Although the concept of a canal in Panama dates back to the early 16th century, the first attempt to construct a canal began in 1880 under French leadership. After this attempt collapsed, the work was finally completed by the United States, and the canal opened in 1914.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Canal

It would depend on the route you took.  But it would be a trip lasting several months at least, that's for sure.  It took the Mariner 10 spacecraft about five months (146 days) to reach Mercury in 1974.

Nope but my Dad will be sailing past this weekend...he and some buddies are transporting a sailing yacht from Maine to near NYC.  So wave if you see him out there!

By air, it takes approximately 2-4 weeks. If it were to be sea-freighted, that would take 3-6 months.

There is no direct train from New York to Los Angeles, and never have been one.  You must change trains in Chicago, unless the train is a charter one.

It takes four hours to travel those 300 miles, not counting the stops, so the average speed is 75mph (300 divided by 4).\n\nWith the wind slowing it down, it would be traveling 65mph.  It would then take 4.615 hours in transit (300 divided by 65), which works out to 4 hours 37 minutes (60 minutes * .615 to get the fraction of an hour, plus the four hours).  Add the two half hour stops back in and the total time including stops is 5 hours 37 minutes.

Hmmm, do you mean the Northwest Passage?  That was the hoped-for waterway between the Atlantic and Pacific.  Since it didn't exist, the Panama Canal was created.

After sliding for the first hour or so, I'd want to get off.\nI'd bet that the New York side would be so high that the water would freeze.\n\nBe easier to get a boat to drag you behind all the way to England.  Not much fun either way.
