yes, clearly for Tokyo we would need a 3D model to get to an adequate detailed 
representation. Fortunately there are only 0.3% of the world's population and 
much fewer percent of the surface, so that for the moment we'll focus on the 
rest of the world and live with a compromise there ;-)

Besides this I bet the Ferris wheel atop the train station with the roller 
coaster going through is kind of an extreme exception even for Tokyo ;-) 
There are a few extreme buildings and situations also in other parts of the 
world, I remember seeing a project for a library tower with a highspeed train 
crossing it (mostly for the spectacular effect, don't think it makes a lot of 
sense). For the moment I'd rather focus on mapping easier stuff and augment the 
coverage for areas where we already know how to do it, in the end, the exact 
way a roller coaster takes is micromapping at its finest but doesn't make the 
map really more useful.

cheers
