Ok, so you’ve seen the city of Chicago from the water, from the skydeck of a skyscraper, from the top of a tour bus and from the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier. You’ll soon be able to get a view from Navy Pier at over twice the height of the Ferris wheel, according to a Chicago Tribune article posted today.
According to the report, tethered hot air balloon rides may be available at Navy Pier as soon as next week after the Chicago Plan Commission voted in favor of the proposal this afternoon. The rides would be introduced temporarily until October.
Rides will go up when the weather cooperates and an 8 to 10 minute ride would run $25 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. The ride would raise passengers about 350 feet. The Ferris wheel takes passengers up 150 feet. With ideal weather conditions, up to 1,100 passengers could ride up in the sky in a single day.
