Ballon rides in Fort Collins    

Fort Collins Ballon rides

Ballon rides are common in Fort Collins, and you could revel in this outstanding way to fly year around. Regardless of the fact that numbers of people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken flight in one remember this wonderous experience for years to come!

Ballon rides can be experienced by all ages. Most trips last roughly an hour, but check with your pilot to find out what is available. Many have several packages to order from.

What are the ropes for?
The crown line on top of the balloon is used to stabilize the balloon during inflation. "Tether lines" are used to tie the balloon down for display purposes. A "drop line" is sometimes released by the pilot just before landing so the ground crew can pull the balloon to a desired location.

Can we fly at a balloon festival?

Check with your local balloon company to see if you can get your balloon ride during a nearby festival. Flying at a festival is a unique experience, and is one that you don't want to miss if possible.

Each festival has their own rules, and many do not allow paid passenger rides for several reasons, including FAA restrictions or insurance concerns. Some festivals, however, not only allow passenger flights but encourage spectators to fly by selling balloon rides at the festival.

Preplanning is the key - you'll want to know well in advance if you can fly at the balloon festival you plan to attend.

As you look for Ballon rides in Fort Collins, keep in mind that your ride might be rescheduled if conditions are unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or unstable. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll take many more snap shots than you expect.
