If you drop your fork, it's probably a goner. And if heights make you dizzy, you might want to hold off on dessert.

"Dinner in the Sky" is an attraction that suspends brave diners at a table165 feet in the air, with chairs that swivel 180 degrees. The table is suspended by a crane, and guest are harnessed into 22 attached seats. There's a space in the center for a chef and two servers.

The dining venue will make its U.S. debut in Orlando on Monday at the annual International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions convention, where the amusement industry introduces new thrill-rides.

Don't count on making reservations for two at 7:30 just yet -- the restaurant is intended for special events. You can rent it for eight hours at about $11,444 -- not including catering.
