Climbing the
Alphabet
WHO: KristallTurm
PRODUCT: PlayLetter

HOW: Winding paths, tunnels, slides, hidden
nooks, and climbing adventures fit neatly inside
a towering letter known as the PlayLetter. Soaring
8 meters tall, the letters invite children ages 3-15
to climb, crawl, and explore. The enclosed space
eliminates fall heights, while the vertical design
delivers a minimal footprint.
Developer KristallTurm says their biggest challenge was to create various letter shapes while
complying with necessary playground standards,
like escape routes, finger traps, and heights.
The first PlayLetter opened in April 2025 at
Bavaria Filmstadt in Munich.

Food in Motion
WHO: Mack Rides
PRODUCT: EatX
HOW: Call it “Dinner and a dark ride.” Mack Rides’
new EatX combines a dark ride system with a
multi-course culinary journey. Guests are seated at
the FlowDiner, a floating table system that transports them through different scenes while they
enjoy appetizers, main courses, and desserts, timed
with the ride’s narrative.
Mack says operators can create their own narrative or integrate an IP to serve an estimated 840
guests per day using continuous loading. The
modular design allows for integration into existing
venues to open new revenue streams.
