The hot air balloon ride includes a balloon envelope having a basket attached thereto. The balloon is engaged by tether lines extending from grounded weights, the tether lines limiting extent of rise of the balloon. The basket includes an entryway and has further been modified to allow a gas tank for same to be engaged thereto, outside the basket. Further, the bottom surface of the basket is cushioned, and a pair of rip panels have been incorporated into the crown of the balloon, one of which is manually operable and the other of which would operate automatically if the balloon becomes disengaged from the tether lines.
