Hot Air Balloon at Dataran Pahlawan

Hot Air Balloon ride is something new here. Maybe we never have a change to see hot air balloon fly over our roof if we don’t find it. We know that the kind of big balloon exist mainly on television. People in Melaka, now you can feel it yourself at Dataran Pahlawan Melaka!. Just located at the Dataran Pahlawan Field. But as to make it fly are impossible with the terrain and uncertain weather. So the ride just go up as tall as the Menara Taming Sari(Melaka Gyro Tower).

My opinion? The ride are more trill because it just you and the wind, no frame, mirror or wall and the basket is just as tall as your hip. The flight details below:
