Has anyone gone on a hot air balloon ride? How was it?

A hot-air balloon ride is awesome. After they hit the burners it's so quiet and peaceful. I would probably go in fall depending on where you live so you can see all the leaves changing. I live in New Mexico so it's brown all year round. Plus, we have the Balloon Fiesta every October with 1000 balloons each year. It's so beautiful! It's also the only time you'll be sober and see a flying dinosaur!! :)

yes, I have and its a lot of fun. Scary at first if you have never done it before, but  once you get into the swing of things it's a lot of fun. You end up very sore at the end of the day if you haven't gone rafting before, but it is well worth it! My favorite place for rafting is  South Fork American River in California.

Hot air balloons are the oldest successful human flight technology, dating back to the Montgolfier brothers' invention in Annonay, France in 1783. \n\nRead more on wikipedia!

I'll do ya one better!  I've shot fireworks at people!\n\nWhen I lived in the bowels of Alaska, you couldn't do fireworks in the summer because we had almost 24 hours of sunlight...but in the winter...especially on New Years Eve we went mad for fireworks.\n\nSo one year I had a New Years Eve party at my house and there was like 50 or so people at the soiree, and we were pretty much all lit by around 1 am...and wouldn't ya know it?  The damn snow-mobilers decided..."Hey its New Years...let's ride our loud snow mobiles right through this guys front yard."  \n\nTiming is, of course everything, and there was about 10 of us outside on my deck (in minus 30 below temperatures, I might add) and we were shooting off some really cool tube type bottle rockets, ya know, those kind that are like motar's when you have the big ball of explosives in the bottom and they shoot out a tube? \n\nWell anyhoo, we decided to actually hold those tubes in our hands and lay in wait for the snow mobilers to pass in front of the house.  The drunken timing required was pretty intense, because we had to light the fuses just at the right moment in order to achieve a direct hit.  \n\nWe heard them coming around the corner, our fuses were lit, and we trained our hand-held mortars on the unaware snow mobilers...when BAM...4 of the motars were loosed and went sailing right for 'em!  2 over shot and exploded in the road  (which was still awesome), 1 swirled off into the sky and popped a 100 feet above their heads...but the last one  burst at least 10 feet above their heads in a shower of purple and white phosphorus!  It was glorious!!  The 4 snow-mobilers were scared out of their minds, fell off their machines into the snow and basically started screaming at us!  \n\n10 minutes of intense negotiations and the plying of liquor turned them into my new best friends for the night and they ended up taking the party guests for rides and hung out for the rest of that night.

Yeah, it was a good time. I went tandem (less expensive & very little time for instruction) instead of AFF (accelerated freefall). It'll cost you maybe a couple hundred bucks, but it's a GREAT experience. Not sure where you're located but if you're in the southeast check out www.skydivecarolina.com it's awesome!

I thought you asked for sensible answers? LOL \n\nI reckon you should do an ab-sail from a really tall building. My husband did one a few years ago and said it was fantastic! I wouldn't though - I'm chicken! Fair play to you though for doing all those stuff!

Most DEFINITLY!!!! We go every year, we've stayed at most of the campgrounds. We take enough money for food and some extra for the trivial things in life and we have a blast....It doesn't cost a fortune....it's way fun, and you'll never forget the experience!!!!

I did it twice and it was interesting. The whole time you are in there you think you are going to die because it is so hot. But when you are finished you feel incredible and immediatly want to do it again but then the next time you feel like you are going to die. I recomend getting there 15 minutes early and lying down in the room to try to climatize your self to the heat.
