| yup, i rode the carousel too! |
altho the
great park balloon isn't a hot air balloon, i'm crossing it off my bucket list anyway because it's close enough. (tho someday i would love to actually be in a real hot air balloon.) i've been wanting to go for a while, and rip and i actually went last month to try to ride it but we were too late and all the spots were full. being free and all, it's very popular! but we went again this sunday morning, bright and early, and finally got to ride it. :)
since it's a tethered helium balloon, the ride is actually completely quiet. and you can't look up into the balloon like how you can on a hot hair balloon. from getting on to getting off , the whole ride is only about 10 minutes with about 7 minutes at the top. so it's a very short ride. you get up to 400 ft up tho, which is pretty high (tho not nearly high enough for me!) and you can see views for miles and miles around. rip and i were very lucky because we were on the first ride with a big group coming after us, so on our trip were only had 10 people with us, though it can hold up to 30 people at a time.
(btw, in writing my post today i saw that as of next month they're going to start changing for the ride. score!)
