FAQs

What is a tethered balloon ride? A tethered balloon ride is when the balloon is tied to the ground to keep the balloon from flying away. This allows the balloon to lift off and “fly” a small group of people without taking an actual hot air balloon ride! Tethered balloon rides usually last approximately 5 minutes and will fly between 60 to 80 feet.

How many people can ride at a time? Between 4 – 7 people can ride at a time depending on the combined weight. Depending on your group, you may not all be able to ride together. If you are a smaller party, you will be paired with other people as well.

What if there is bad weather? Tethered rides can only happen when the winds are around 8 mph or less. If the winds are any faster or there are storms in the area, the balloon becomes difficult to control and can be unsafe. If tether rides should be cancelled due to the weather, all money will be refunded.

Other Important Information

– Young children and those in wheelchairs can ride!

– Weight balance is important. When you approach the balloon basket to ride, one person will come out and then one person will go in

– No smoking on campus, or near the balloon

– Make sure to stay clear of ropes as they will be going up and down
