Eatrenalin Opens at Europa-Park With Floating Chairs
- Eatrenalin opened at Europa-Park in Rust on 4 November 2022, announced nine days ahead: "On 4th November 2022, the unique gastronomic event concept 'Eatrenalin' will open in Rust"[1][3]
- It was created by Thomas Mack, managing partner of Europa-Park, with Oliver Altherr, chief executive of Marché International, and built as a restaurant crossed with a trackless dark ride[1][3]
- The room moves instead of the diner: a patented "Floating Chair" from MACK Rides, about 2,100 components and 320 kilograms, a year and a half in development, carries guests "smooth and almost silent" from one themed space to the next - a world-first transport system experienced here first[1][3]
- Eight courses are served across themed rooms - Lounge, Waterfall, Discovery, Ocean, Taste, Umami, Universe, Incarnation - over roughly 100 minutes, from 195 euros; Wikipedia counts eleven rooms in all, adding the spaceship sequence, the lift and the closing bar[1][3]
- The choice is between two eight-course menus, "Red Dimensions" with fish and meat or the vegetarian "Green Dimensions", under culinary director Peter Hagen-Wiest; the Michelin inspectors call it "a unique, almost futuristic spin on the fine dining experience!"[2]
- More than 12,000 guests had been through it within ten weeks, and "even the Financial Times became aware of this special gastronomy concept"[4]
- It took its first MICHELIN star on 24 June 2026, which is unusual for a restaurant whose dining room is in motion[2][3]
