text: While I am delayed in writing the review I have to say the experience will last a lifetime My family and I did this on a groupon promotion last yearwe actually went for the ride in late December It was myself my son my aunt something and my grandmother while my mother followed us in the car not a chance she was going to try this one We had a fabulous time the employees were careful with both my son and my grandmother While we were all having the time of our life others in the basket were a little nervous however the captain was very talkative and he explained everything and kept those people at ease nnThe ride was long and the height varied At the end we were served a picnic breakfast with mimosas The breakfast was not anything to write home about but it was a nice touch You had to pay extra for the mimosas glass which I did nnThe only thing I did not like no facilitiesluckily I am a camper and did not mind going in the wild I might advise you not to drink a full pot of coffee prior to the ride but that is totally up to you nnEven if you are a little nervous I would highly recommend you try this out
