I am afraid of heights but this ride was great! So smooth, didn't even realize we were over 5500ft high! Captain Tommy was great as well as Steve our driver and Jim from the ground crew who took pictures. I just wish i knew the rest of the crew members names to let them all know that they did an amazing job! The breakfast was very good. Oh and one of the crew members of the 2nd balloon was great. He let us hold the lead balloon rope/line from top of balloon while he took pictures of us. Great job to all of the crew members from both balloons.
