The abandoned plane that is now home to the quirkiest McDonald’s in the world

MOST people’s local McDonald’s are on their local high street or an out-of-town industrial estate.

But for some lucky people in New Zealand, theirs is inside a decommissioned DC-3 plane.

We’re not the only ones to believe it’s the ‘coolest’ McDonald’s[/caption]

And when he was asked about the strangest McDonald’s he’d been into, it was this one.

Gary said: “The quirkiest award has to go to the McDonald’s airplane in Taupo, New Zealand.

“It was an advertising fixture for the car dealership that used to occupy the location, and after the franchisees took over the lot, they just painted the Golden Arches onto it and made it overflow seating.”

Other quirky McDonald’s of note include those in Lindvallen, Sweden  that are only open during winter.

The restaurant is at the base of the slopes at one of Sweden’s most popular ski resorts and is built to resemble a giant lodge.

The defining characteristic of this McDonald’s is the ski-thru window, the only one of its kind in the world.

And in Roswell New Mexico, you’ll find a UFO McDonald’s.

It was built in this way to pay homage to the town’s heritage as the site of the 1947 Roswell Incident.

Shaped like a metallic space ship surrounded by alien statues, this location features a space-themed play place with McDonaldland characters dressed as astronauts, otherworldly light projections, and even a merch store.
