I've rappeled 100 feet out of helicopters, and hundreds of feet under and above ground. I can tell you from personal experience that it appears to be a lot more when you're looking down from above than it does from below.
Not that I'll ever have that kind of "money to burn".
But if I did? I'd go for it...

I don't really care to dine al fresco. And not suspended in the air like that. Good LORD! What a way to toss good money away!
Ahh, well, I guess if you can afford it, why not? Seems to be something incredibly expensive and unusual popping up every day.
I wonder what the birds think of the table?
The only thing that comes to mind is...
"Highfalutin"
(:D) Best regards...
A kiddy ride for the rich... Perfect for your next lawn party... What will they think of next...
Where's the bathroom?
cave_nate:
I guess it would be prudent not to walk under the thing, in any case.
benning:
If you get a bunch of folks together (the maximum of 22), it would "only" cost about $455 per person on their site...which does not include getting there, of course.
As for what the birds think, that's probably what the Lexan™ cover is for.
Maggie:
The sky's the limit!!!
(Clever remark, BTW)
Road Rider:
If I was paying that much for a meal, I'd damned sure eat it.
Hawkeye®:
REALLY "Highfalutin"
JR:
A kiddy ride for the rich describes it well.
Barb:
An excellent question; I would imagine they'd want everyone to relieve themselves beforehand.
Look out below!!!
It is really something new to me. Wow, I guess if I have such money, I will definately go with you for it.:)
Maggie:
There's something to be said for practicality. Speaking of which, I hope you don't mind, but I got rid of the superfluous comments.
And now I get to be eleventeenth!!!
DreamingLady:
I think I'd have to be filthy rich to indulge in such extravagance.
I could always think of better things to do with that kind of $$$...
Why are there only chefs at the table? Just curious.
Oh, and what happens if you drop your fork on someone's head?

Meg Kelso:
At a guess, there are only chefs in the promotional picture, maybe because it was a group of them that came up with the concept?
(I don't know, really)
If you dropped a fork on someone's head, I imagine it would hurt...a LOT.
BTW, welcome to my li'l corner o' "da blogosphere". Whence cometh thou? I looked at some of your stuff. A bit risqué, some of it, but I was laughing my okole (it's Hawaiian, figure it out) off at some of your material...
