Characters in Flight at Downtown Disney Orlando

Took a ride today in the new giant (72 foot) helium balloon at Walt Disney World - Downtown Disney. It goes as high as 400 feet and they say you can see 10 miles on a clear day. Music is "Honeysuckle Rose," Manny Lopez - Live at the Davenport Radisson.

Pop Goes the cable!

We are going this Christmas and it is safe to say I will not be getting in that thing.

the cable can hold up to 45 tons; the helium in the balloon only weighs 4.5 tons. So there is no way the cable could snap.

whats worse than the cable snapping? the ropes all snapping at the peak of the flight.
