After making it back from Budapest, we took a short break for showers and getting ourselves organized before heading into the city center. We explored the city center for a little while before heading over to Prater, a park that has been transformed into an amusement park which also happened to house the restaurant we had booked for dinner. We arrived about an hour and a half before our reservation which gave us time to wander through the park. It felt almost like Universal meets a county fair. Similar to the fair, it had giant swings and Ferris wheels (and was set up so that you pay by ride rather than for entrance); however, more like universal, there were tons of roller coasters, including indoor coasters. It also even had at least two water rides. We wandered through most of the park trying to decide what, if any, ride/coaster we wanted to go on.
After debating between the huge coasters and log flumes, between VR rides and giant swings, and between smaller coasters and the indoor coasters, we agreed on a medium sized outdoor coaster that looked like it would be a lot of fun and didn’t raise any concerns. We got our tickets and headed over to board the car. We were lucky enough to have the entire coaster to ourselves and had a great time.
When the ride was over, we headed back toward the restaurant where we waited until just before our reservation before going in. We had reserved a table at the Rollercoaster Restaurant which has a robot bartender and a series of tracks that deliver your food to your table. It was a crazy experience and we loved every minute of it. The robot was upstairs so we couldn’t see it from our seat but they had TVs live streaming it making our drinks and the tracks lit up when your food or drinks were on their way to you.
We each ordered 2 drinks, a sandwich that came with fries, and a salad to share. Everything was delicious and it was so cool to see your order rolling down the tracks toward you after a robot set it on its course. We even tried to look up other restaurants like it either in Europe or the US, but couldn’t find much outside of Japan.
After dinner, we headed back to the hostel and got a good night sleep before catching a train to Munich. The train ended up being half an hour longer than predicted, but we made it to Munich safely and ready to explore.

That is soooo cool! You guys have found some really neat things to see in each city :).
Do you have pictures of the drinks and food on the tracks? How do they prevent them from spilling? Looks like a really fun concept!
We couldn’t get pictures where you could see the food/drinks well, but we have videos (too big to upload). Everything on the tracks have lids though, so the drinks come in jars with a lid and the food comes in containers that resemble to go containers.
