The sport of hot air ballooning is one of the oldest and safest forms of aviation in the world.  It is a 230 year old tradition enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of passengers and millions of spectators each year.  Rainbow Ryders offers tethered balloon rides that lift passengers in an inflated hot air balloon to a low altitude in a fixed location using ropes secured to the ground. The first tethered balloon ride with humans on board took place on October 20, 1783 in Paris.
