Flight Program:
Our
sunrise flights are scheduled seven days a week, 365 days a year, weather permitting. We meet one hour prior to sunrise and
then travel to one of our many launch sites. Inflation takes about 20 minutes and then we are airborne!
The flight is approximately one hour and we will ascend anywhere
from tree tops to several thousand feet. Once you're airborne your pilot will point out the spectacular sites of this area,
from the theme parks to the Orange groves and forests, to swamps absolutely untouched for thousands of years. Our flying area
has many wonderful things to see.
Once
we have landed and the balloons are stored away we prepare for our Traditional Champagne Toast. Non-alcoholic beverages are
also available. We will then return to the Ramada Orlando Celebration Resort and Convention Center for an all you can eat breakfast buffet. Our passengers are then presented
with a Flight of Ascension certificate by their pilot.
