This Restaurant Will Deliver Your Food On A Rollercoaster
If you're into rollercoasters and/or restaurants, one amusement park has combined the best of both, so you can have a roller coaster experience and eat it, too.
England's first Rollercoaster Restaurant is set to open next week at Alton Towers Resort, a British theme park that caters to adrenaline junkies. The restaurant delivers food to diners by way of a looping, twisting rollercoaster that runs a total distance of 1,300 feet. (To put it in perspective, that's the length of a full size athletics track.) Diners will watch their food tackle two gravity defying loops before it drops 25 feet down a tornado spiral to their table.
Why all the fuss just to get dinner? We can imagine theme park-goers who travel to Alton Towers likely have an appetite for thrills, but the restaurant says the rollercoaster food track might also make dinner a bit more enjoyable.
"As you watch your meal whirl round the loops of the track, your body naturally produces increased levels of saliva, priming your taste buds and increasing the enjoyment you will experience once your food arrives," foodlogist Christy Fergusson, who the amusement park teamed up with on the project, said in a statement. Basically, it's the restaurant's way of dangling food in front of you before you dig in.
Each plate will travel an average of 170 miles per week on the tracks. Talk about a dining experience that goes the distance.
