It has arrived and is inflated.

Passengers are carried inside a steel cage so no discarding sandbags to gain extra height, and the poor buggers we used to see jump off the multi-storey before it was fenced in needn't bother either. At £14 for 15 minutes, and considering once you have bought your balloon and Helium supply, costs are presumably fairly minimal, that seems a nice little earner. Apparently it will go up to 400m or nearly 1/4 of a mile. Scary!

Maiden flight due to carry the chief executive and the mayor. Conundrum: is it worth sacrificing the Mayor in order to get rid of the Chief Executive and her maniacal plans to privatise the entire council? (*sharpens bolt cutters)

There's been one in Bournemouth Pleasure Gardens for a number of years now and not one Chief Executive or Mayor has been injured because of it. Mind you, several Mayors have been more inflated.
I have heard His Holiness Nick Bye called many things so far but never lovely. Maybe I move in the wrong circles.
Ooohh, it looks like something from the Fugitive TV series.
Will it start rolling and bouncing all over the place devouring all in its path?
I went up in a tethered balloon just like that at Disney land Paris. I t was amazing, although a little scarey :]
...and Leicester go down
Looks fun.
And I wasn't going to mention LCFC. You need shut of Mandaric but not Holloway.

The one in the Wild Animal Park costs less but you have to pay the entrance fee as well!! Jenny and I were almost the only ones on an early morning ride when it first opened. Great fun but a bit scarey!
