Characters in Flight

[stemikger]

Does anyone know anything about this.

It looks like a hot air baloon in Down Town Disney.

Does anyone know if it is a real hot air baloon and how high does it go.

It says it fits 50 people. Does it stay in one place or does it take you on a flight.

Would love to try this. I'm a little surprised Disney is doing this, it sounds like it will be very unstable, but who knows. I'm sure it is safe.

Any other info would be appreciated.

Thank you.
