Hi Adrian, There are 2 types of balloon rides - the free fly and the tethered balloon rides. The free fly is not open to the public as these rides are dangerous and very expensive. The public can try the tethered rides, which means that the balloons will rise up to the height of between 60m - 100m, but the balloon will still have the anchor line from the ground. Be assured, the feeling is still great and the view awesome. And it's only for RM10.
