Do they do this every day? Are they going up to give tourist rides? Incredible.
Christie Mitchell EVERY DAY!! Unless the weather doesn’t allow it. Yep, each basket holds 25-30 people!! $150-300 a person depending on how far they go.

That's a lot of people in that balloon. Why don't you ride in one there? Seems like the perfect place.
