The ride before ours landing.  The balloon is attached to a cable in the ground and is on wheels.  It lands on a mound in the ground and rolls to a stop.  Rocky bit fun!

This was taken down the middle of the passenger cage looking at the landing pad.  You can see tiny people and the white tent where we waited our turn.

The balloon ride is the first phase of The Great Park they are building in Irvine.  It used to be a Marine Base and most of it still looks much more like that than a park!  The balloon pad is in the middle of old plane runways.
