They have same balloon at San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park, California. Great place to go. I was in San Diego for the first time with my friends and we didn't know that well. The Pilots and park employee were so friendly to us and looks professional. and yea i think pilot was looking very young. Great experience. View was Just awesome and around 15-20 minutes ride. Would definetely go their again :

16 dollars for about 5 minuets??? Seems kind of high priced for that short time your up there. But I think this was a bad move on disney's part to put this at DTD. Think this would have been better suited for a park like Epcot. Sorry just my opinion.

I am not sure if $16.00 is worth 5 mins?

[borisbmx]

@kristenboo101 regular balloon rides cost 100 to 200$

[smashu79]

wtf did he say the man @2.00

[amrani212]

man that guy on 2;00 couldn`t understand what the hell he`s saying

[Junebugnoe]

what a bunch of bull crap.. they took out the clubs at Pleasure Island to put this nasty thing up... ha.. what a joke

[JohnnyDeppsBabyCakes]

@Junebugnoe you dont go disney for the clubs. if you want to do that go to places like turkey. disney is all about unique experiences and family.

It wobbles a little bit, but you're still connected with the wire, the balloon itself.

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

There is a Aerophile balloon coming to Las Vegas. It will be inflated in a few weeks from what I've heard.

[mickeyfan23]

I went on it today. It was really fun. Worth trying.

[puppylove221]

does it move around alot or wobble ?

[hannahhazlehurst]

yes

[dadon469]

its worth the money i went on it july 25 2009 and it was an off the hook scene

[supermariodrums]

For those who have been on it which part of the platform gives you the best view? I'm curious. I am going in November and this is near the top of my to do list.

[RctInfinity]

I went on it, it was a LOT of fun.

[WhatYouHadSaid]

Is it worth 16$ ?

[theagelesswonder]

@WhatYouHadSaid It's not worth the 16 dollars. I went down in December last year for 9 days8 nights and out of the 8 full days I had down there the balloon was down 7 of those 8 days because of high wind. I wouldn't recommend it at all.

[Predatorocks]

I think it would have been better if it was closer to the parks. It just seems so far away from them. I think EPCOT would have been a better fit.

[pirates1princess]

that looks wicked but i wouldnt pay $16 for only 5mins

[sentrakidsr20]

its 11 minutes and its awesome

[Frogki1]

It's 10 minutes, 5 of which are spent at the maximum height of 400 ft...

[GotKn1fe]

How long do you stay up?

[AttractionsMagazine]

Around 5 minutes.

[uruguacho]

@AttractionsMagazine

Its a 10 min ride

[krazykobra29]

oooh!! a giant balloon! i want to go on it :)

[klingon911]

Was in Saratoga Springs a few weeks ago, saw this going up and down all the time for their tests, it certainly does go pretty high up!

[topito2011]

what is the cost?

[AttractionsMagazine]

$16 for ages 10-up, $10 for ages 3-9

[KerriCP]

wow, thats surprising, specially after seeing the advertisment for 175 balloon rides lol

[RandyHaddock]

That looks like fun.

[scottyman120]
