My guess is 60-70 kph. Since there is no driver, there are no instruments. Now that I think about it, I don't know. In the 5 or 6 times I've ridden I've been filming and looking at the crazy architecture, so I never really looked for a speedometer. It loops through Odaiba, a man-made island in Tokyo Bay.
Here is the train and an example.
Tokyo BIG SIGHT, a convention center. Entrance is via an 8-story escalator (left side).
This "art" is about 10 stories tall.
