BRITISH theme park Alton Towers is giving fast food a whole new meaning with its-newly opened “Rollercoaster Restaurant” where dishes are delivered to patrons via — you guessed it — tiny roller coasters. For an attraction famous for its adrenaline pumping rides, this is the perfect eatery.

    When you enter the Rollercoaster Restaurant, an employee will seat you at your table and explain how to use a tablet to order food, which will travel to your table via a 26-foot (7.9-meter) roller coaster with two gravity-defying loop-the-loops. But here’s the catch — you share a roller coaster with three other tables, so there’s no way of telling whether the dish on the way is the one you ordered or not.

    Once it makes its way down to the bottom, the dish will plant itself on a massive lazy suzan, along with a flag displaying the table number. If it happens to be yours, you can simply rotate the lazy suzan towards your table and help yourself. Thankfully, the food arrives in closed containers and drinks arrive in bottles to avoid spillage, while hot beverages like tea and coffee are served the regular way — by hand.

    The concept is thrilling, but of course, this means that there’s always food flying through the air at regular intervals, so it could get a bit distracting at times. The dramatic effect is made complete with a short film about Alton Tower’s real roller coasters, projected on two different walls. The Rollercoaster Restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for Alton Towers visitors, while the general public can dine there between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
