How high will the balloon go?
Most balloon flights are between 500 and 1,000 feet above the ground, but balloons can be flown much lower or much higher. The record for altitude in a Hot Air Balloon is 64,997 feet!
How fast will the hot air balloon go?
The speed of the balloon is determined by the speed of the wind.
What am I likely to see on my Hot Air Balloon Ride?
