A proposed US$400 million
magnetic levitation train system would have connected the
Orlando International Airport and the
Orange County Convention Center in
Orlando ,
Florida , with a stop at the
Florida Mall .
[2]
[3] The privately funded 13.8-mile (22.2 km) train line would be built by
American Maglev Technology and was once expected to be operational by 2017.

[7] If completed, the train would have been the first commercial maglev system in North America.
[8]
The plan was canceled in late 2015, when the Orlando International Airport board voted unanimously to begin negotiations for right-of-way for a new light-rail system to connect to
International Drive and the convention center, rather than a maglev.
