diners sit on tables that move through ride scences on a track, not a revolving restaurant
Reverse Sushi Restaurant

by whimsickle. Knee-grazingly similar. [calum, Aug 15 2007]
Kind of similar too...

Other than that, cool idea |
|
| |
The waiters could pop out of the scenery like ghouls in a haunted house. |
|
| |
Or follow the tables riding segways |
|
| |
Woo-hoo! Plus for you today (despite the emesis potential, or perhaps because of it) |
|
| |
It's the inverse of a sushi restaurant, cool. [+] |
|
| |
Nice. [marklar]'s right - it's a reversal of the conveyer-belt restaurant concept. As the tables waft past tables of food, diners should be able to reach out and grab some. |

//It's the inverse of a sushi restaurant//
...fish eating raw people? |
|

Hard to eat as your table goes rumbling along. <imagines old wooden roller coaster track with checkered table cloths and wine spilling over> |

get that OJ out of your mouth, [wags], you don't know where he's been! |
|

[Anathema], looking at your amusement table, i can't help wondering who would want sushi that's been sitting near someone's crotch. ew. |
|

To clean the tables.... they pass through
the lion's cage, then the vulture
sanctuary, followed by a quick visit to
the ant colony (to fight over the
crumbs), and finally a short dip in the
piranha tank to mop up any stains and
tough leftovers (i.e. the leathery heels
of a long distance runner like me). A
totally daft and impractical idea - in
other words perfect |
|
| |
And the restaurant's motto? "We were
happy to have served you (up)" |
|
| |
This might be nice as something like a gondola in a canal. For the kids, it could be like Pirates of the Caribbean. |
|
| |
That last bit is 10% idea, 90% provocation to begin piratical annos. |
|
| |
In my imagination I envisioned this as not so much a dark ride (which may have been a good thing, considering the food...) but rather as something out of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times. I'm remembering scenes like Chaplin being pulled through the giant cogs of the machinery, or seated at a table to "enjoy" a meal fed to him by automation. |

So diners would be seated at their table riding on a conveyor belt. At various points along their route robotic arms swoop in to set the table (a solitary flower falls into a vase with a resounding "Ting!"), tubes drop from the ceiling to splat food into the plates or squirt liquids into the glasses Add to that some of the old-school cliches like oversized rotating drums with huge teeth spinning perilously low overhead (anyone care for some freshly ground pepper?), the standard clapping and stomping steel plates of doom (think Galaxy Quest - "What is this thing? I mean, it serves no useful purpose for there to be a bunch of chompy, crushy things in the middle of a hallway. No, I mean we shouldn't have to do this, it makes no logical sense, why is it here?") and when you are done, you are dropped down some slippery tubes to the awaiting cashier. Cha-ching! |

I have to agree with calum, upon reading
the Reverse Sushi idea, so [marked-for-
deletion] redundant. Sorry [skiyaki]. |
|
| |
That MFD is not going to work without brackets. |
|
| |
bashes roundy brackets into squaresville |
|
| |
I disagree with the MFD. This idea includes "scences" the diners expirence, not just the fact that they are moving while dinning. |
|
| |
[evilpenguin] so they smell stuff, then they die, all while making a lot of noise? |
|
| |
like dining inside it's a small world with motorized tables instead of boats |
|
| |
ever been on a long distance train? :P |
|
| |
I disagree with the MFD. This is an amusement park ride plus food; not the same thing at all. |
