[QUOTE="KingofThings, post: 93344, member: 468"]It's much different than you might expect. The sensation is that the Earth is moving away not that you are flying. You feel almost no movement in a balloon, when you reach an area where the wind changes direction the basket will wiggle a little as the balloon takes up that direction. If you decide you just can't outright take a flight I suggest you contact some balloon fight companies and find out when they will next have some tethered flights. This is when the balloon is tied down and only rises a bit. You can get some idea if this is for you or not in this way. ~ There is absolutely nothing like flying in a balloon. You can see so much and hear everything going on below you, even normal conversation. The only noise there is is from the heat sources and even those have been made quieter than when I flew. Go do it and tell us about it! :)[/QUOTE]
