The 747-400 simulator cost $14 million dollars, and that was in 1990! They are suspended on giant hydraulic motion systems. It has a 6 axis motion system that can truly recreate the sensation of flight. On the inside, every part is the same as used on the actual airplane.

I was lucky enough to fly one of these simulators for a few hours, and let me tell you it was the most amazing experience of my life. It seems like there is no difference between these things and actually going up and flying. They are so realistic!
There is my bid then! Sounds like fun...and I am transiting through Denver in about 4 weeks, on United no less...maybe I should get off the plane for a spell.
