Hot air balloon trips around Kansas    

Kansas Hot air balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are all the rage in Kansas, and busy people can savor this unique activity any time the conditions are right. Even though many persons have never even gotten near a ballon, those who have taken flight in one remember this fantastic treat the rest of their life!

The burner is positioned above the passenger's heads and produces a huge flame to heat the air inside the envelope. It is fueled by propane. The envelope is the colorful fabric bag that holds the hot air. When the air inside the envelope is heated, the balloon rises. To descend, the air in the envelope is allowed to cool and the balloon becomes heavier than air. The pilot has complete control of the up-and-down movements since he controls the heat in the envelope.

Hot air balloon rides can be accomplished by everyone. Most trips last up to an hour, notwithstanding check with your pilot to find out what they offer. Many have several packages to order from.

Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day?

Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.
