ladyskydiver 0 #1 May 17, 2005 Anyone know of a reputable place in Wisconsin for balloon rides? And no, I'm not talking about jumping outta one as my mom mentioned she'd love to go on one, and I thought I'd buy her a ride for her birthday.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly!

craichead 0 #2 May 17, 2005 Not sure about Wisconsin, but one of my friends just did a balloon ride with Blue Sky Balloon Rides up in McHenry, IL. And she was engaged by the end of it! Hehe.

NO FUCKING WAY!!! DON'T GO THAT ROUTE!!! They cannot be trusted!!! If something goes wrong with the voucher you get from them, you can't get your money back!! They will give you the run-around and won't tell you where the hot air balloon location is until you give them your credit card info!! FUCK SKYRIDE!! Sorry for the rant though!

PhreeZone 20 #6 May 17, 2005 Good way to get Lynched is to say that. Most Balloon operators refuse to touch their certificates. Nothing good comes from 1-800-Sky-ride Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyskydiver 0 #9 May 18, 2005 Mom and I live in Racine so Hudson's a ways out of the way. It's going to be difficult enough to pull off the "hey, mom...let's go for a ride at o'God:30" much less drive forever to get there. Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
