A new attraction at Downtown Disney featuring a balloon that carries guests up to 400 ft giving views of all around Walt Disney World has opened at Downtown Disney. One word of warning though, you could be waiting in line a long time if it is a little windy. The attraction operates on a “weather permitting” basis. Given the amount of thunderstorms around the area in the Summer I would say it will be closed quite a lot.

It works on a scale so if the wind speed is between 12 – 22 mph there will be fewer than 10 riders and each round trip lasts 10 minutes so by that calculation there wont be many people going through the attraction in an hour. If it gets much windier than that then the flight is grounded. Don’t forget it might just be breezy where you are stood but up at 400 ft it could be quite strong.
