What is a tethered balloon ride?

A tethered balloon ride is when the balloon is tied to the ground with four very strong ropes to keep the balloon from flying away. This allows the balloon to lift and “fly” a large group of people of all ages at a specific location.

Who can ride?

Our Easy Access Door Basket allows almost everyone the opportunity to enjoy a tethered balloon ride. However, the sides of the basket are approximately 45 inches tall so young kids may not be able to see without the help of a parent/guardian. We are unable to accommodate passengers who are in a wheelchair or who cannot support themselves in a standing position for the duration of the ride (five minutes).

Each participant (or parent/guardian for those under 18 years of age) must sign an Agreement to Participate / Waiver of Responsibility for tethered ride passengers provided by SkyCab Balloon Promotions before being allowed to take a ride. The pilot and crew always reserves the right to limit who or how many can get into the balloon basket.

How high will the riders go?

Tethered flights go up to 60 feet above the ground. The exact height is determined by a number of factors including wind, terrain, location, anchor points, number of passengers, etc. The pilot will determine the exact height according to conditions at the time of the event.
