Dream Catcher Balloons

Are you longing to float above the earth in a 7 story giant??Dream Catcher II

Then flying in a Hot Air Balloon is for you!

As a balloon gently lifts off into the sky, it moves in the same direction and at the same speed of the wind.  Balloons only launch when wind speed and direction will provide a safe and enjoyable flight.  Steering a balloon is somewhat tricky as the only way to change direction is by changing altitudes.  The distance you fly depends entirely on the speed of the wind.
