Cool! I wonder if there was a replica of the Pokemon Meowth balloon from the cartoon series?

[MulcheArcade]

[commongroundpolitics]

Spectactular display but looked like a disaster waiting to happen with all those balloons in the air at the same time & in such close proximity to each other!

[ZipBalloon]

lol then you no nothing of balloons :P. at festivals, and particularily this one, with 30 or more balloons, the pilots get their ground crews to help let him know if another balloon is above him (as he cannot see because of the envelope) or if one is coming up from under him. Completely safe.

Pretty cool!

....on a snarky note- There's almost as much hot air as on Faux news.

[BinkieMcFartnuggets]

In a tragic scheduling conflict they were booked next to an annual skeet shooting competition.

I also heard the red bull air race was about to begin :)

[oilhammer04]

So cool!

[ShmoozaLoser]

Wow, i'd love to see something like that in my country, but i don't think safety laws would allow it . :-(

[iosononapoletanovero]

[frosty1too]

every year around the first part of Oct in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

[iosononapoletanovero]

[gio31brasil]

holy shit a flying cow!

[thearmoredfatboy]

thats a lot of helium

[Bowzer27]

they don't use helium the use regular air that is heated so it floats

[ChristinaWatkinson]

isn't that called helium? lol

[fireworkpwnz]

@ChristinaWatkinson no it isnt

[groundloop07]

I think hot air balloons get their name from....ahhh.....hot air. hot air rises, propane burners heat the air inside of the balloon making it less dense or lighter than the air surrounding it causing it to rise. or it's magic... not really sure on that.

[KhmerD0g]

no. they heat up the air inside the balloon. no helium
