Wow! Great pictures! That does look fun! I am definitely plan on doing that when I go in May. I bet you will be able to get some incredible pictures from 400 feet!
I agree, $16 seems very reasonable...I wonder if you have to wait for the balloon to fill up? I think someone said it will hold about 30 people, so I wonder if you have to wait for a certain amount of people to sign up before they will "take off."
I can't wait to hear a report from someone who does this.
