Large Hot Air Balloon Company Comes to Orlando


Well, it is actually the largest Hot Air Balloon company in thew United States! That's right, we finally have yet another way to take a panoramic view of all the fantastic places to see in Central Florida, both natural and man-made. This company provides flights daily. Here's a short description of what you will be able to see:

"The flight is approximately one hour and we will ascend anywhere from tree tops to several thousand feet. Once you're airborne your pilot will point out the spectacular sites of this area, from the theme parks to the Orange groves and forests, to swamps absolutely untouched for thousands of years. Our flying area has many wonderful things to see."

Ah, the great outdoors! It would be a great experience, there's no doubt on that! But, what makes the balloons different from the one of the other companies (other than they are the biggest in the U.S.), you may ask. Well, the company's official website gives us some reasons why they use them:
  • Orlando Balloon Rides only flies partition baskets which gives not only the guest more maneuverability but the pilot as well. Meaning, your party will be in a separate compartment from the pilot, keeping your focus on the ride and the pilot’s on their equipment and navigational controls. The Federal Aviation Administration has urged that a partition basket is the safest way to fly. 
  • Higher walls, which ensure the guest feels secure when enjoying the view.
  • Our baskets are made out of all aircraft grade stainless steel wrapped in wicker. Making them sturdier than a smaller bucket basket that will stretch when leaning on the sides.
  • Higher fuel capacity which enables your flight to not only soar higher as well as longer.
  • Landing becomes a much smoother experience with the added weight of a partition basket. 
As you can see, not only these balloons are more secure; they're also more comfortable. Now, how much does it cost to get on these balloons? Well, the cost per person may seem high (it is $175 per person), but many people say that it is definitely worth it.
