"So you've been invited to dinner, and when you get there, you're led to a dining table elegantly set for 22. The host asks you to step into your seat and begins strapping you in like a race car driver. You look around and realize that this dining table with a beautiful clear canopy over it has wires attached to it that's attached to a giant crane parked nearby. Your heart races and you wonder what the heck is going on?!!"

So what happens if you drop your fork?
JAGIRL, how did you show colored print on you posting question?
thanks.
I lost my appetite for lunch just looking at the photo.
I would have the biggest panic attack in the world. Great concept but not for me.
2007 GTG sounds great though!!!
jorr, you type in the <color> you want the following words to be.
for red <you type in the word red> like this.
for blue <you type in the word blue> like this.
There are a couple of threads explaining it more - one was active on the Europe board earlier today
For colour :

But I don't like it when my food gets cold!

I guess you yell "Heads up!!!" really loudly!
I saw this posted on another board. I said the same thing about dropping the fork. I can't even imagine but I'll bet they are booked months ahead.
LOL Jagirl!

You probably wouldn't want to drink too much up there either - in case you get a little wobbly and fall out of your chair.
And obviously, no sending your food back either!
crefloors - great minds think alike!
Booked out you say? It ain't cheap you know. €7,900 for eight hours.
Here's how it all works...

JAGIRL, thanks!
My palms are all sweaty looking at the table.
How are the waiters walking around?
<red like this>
It didn't work for me.
Count me out!
Oy vey!
I presume they supply a role of toilet paper for each guest.

One advantage - if you don't like the food and don't want to be rude by not eating it, you could very casually sneak it off your plate a little bit at a time and send it on a flying vacation!
Is Daily Olive a website similar to The Onion?
Oh boy, this is a Fodorite GTG I will skip JAGIRL, I can't even imagine this scenerio, lol! It makes the restaurant (is it in Paris?) that serves their food in complete darkness seem sane. What is it with those wacky Europeans?
Loveitaly,

:">What can I say? If I had €7900 to spare, I'd do "dinner in the sky"!
...Especially if there was a really good view, really good dessert and if I had at least one good vegetarian option! I think they could meet these requests for €7,900 don't you think?
Dear JAGIRL, I think for 7.900€ they should supply a parachute in case anyone wants to leave. And I would want some really fantastic champagne and also some top of the line wine, how about you?
omigod, and we have trouble driving up a mountain without guard rails!
LOL that dropped fork can be found sticking out of the guys forehead who was wondering what those people up there are doing!
And what happens if one needs to use a bathroom? Never mind, I don't even want to know JAGIRL.
Gee, I'd feel really bad if I had to send something back to the kitchen but if it needs to be sent back. Oh Well!
I think if you need to go to the bathroom, you need to have someone down below to shout out:
INCOMING!!!!!
Loveitaly,
I don't drink alcohol so no wine or champagne for me!
Orcas
I wonder how the bathroom thing works though.
