Ever heard of a 24-passenger hot air balloon? It's now flying over Orlando, after Orlando Balloon Rides launched America's largest hot air balloon. At 112 feet high by 90 feet wide, it quadruples the size of the standard four-passenger balloon, while carrying six times the passenger load.
The balloon hit the air in a parade of hot air passenger balloons that took to the sky Dec. 16 at the Reunion Resort in Reunion, taking its first passengers on a leisurely cruise across Central Florida.
The company offers a variety of ride packages, ranging from single rider to romantic couples rides to large group outings. A four-hour experience including a champagne breakfast costs $175 per person. For more information call 407-894-5040 or visit www.orlandoballoonrides.com
