You can take a hot air balloon ride over just about anything, like
riots,
Klan meetings,
raves, an
American Legion tricycle parade,
Adam Rich's
house,
whatever - and enjoy a
champagne breakfast either in flight or on the ground (if you weren't fatally
shot, that is). I once did that over the
Serengeti, during a
sunrise in
March. There weren't any migrations or
maulings going on below; actually, there wasn't much to look at. We had
breakfast and mimosas after landing, and I talked to the balloon guy, who was from
Orlando. Then one of the Rovers got stuck in the
mud.
I would not recommend going with
Icarus balloons in
New Jersey, judging solely on the name. Just hope they fail in delivering an Icaran experience.
