Look! Up in the Sky!

Orlando balloon ridesAlready a leader in big balloons, Orlando Balloon Rides will be launching the largest hot air balloon in the United States. This new one-of-a-kind balloon is five times the size of a regular hot air balloon. “You could fly the average balloon inside this balloon,” says Orlando Balloon Rides CEO Jason Schulke. Capable of transporting 24 people at a time and measuring more than eleven stories, the new balloon Facebook users named “Perelandra” will take flight mid-December. For its inaugural flight, 24 lucky individuals chosen through Facebook, charity events and other means will have the opportunity to christen the balloon’s maiden voyage through the Central Florida skies.

Make your reservations now for a once in a lifetime experience.
