This automatic ride reproduces a small hot air balloon that, thanks to an up and down movement, allows the balloon to rise and descend along a supporting column (entirely enclosed in a protective casing) and, at the same time, rotate right and left around its own axis. The ride has two running modes: in automatic, the balloon only moves up and down, without rotating, while in manual, the child can interact with the ride through the controls on the dashboard inside the basket or by pulling the handle in the balloon, therefore making the hot air balloon move up, down, and/or rotate, while activating lights and sounds. Various fall prevention and crush prevention safety systems are present on this ride, as well as a non-slip mat on the base equipped with presence detection sensors when the ride is in motion.
