Have you ever dreamed of soaring to the sky in a hot-air balloon?

This dream could come true for visitors to Hong Kong Ocean Park, which announced its newest attraction Skyfair last Wednesday.

The giant helium balloon, purchased for HK$10 million ($1.28 million), can lift 29 people 200 meters off the ground. But the park will limit the height to 120 meters, fearing discomfort to some passengers.

Park management said that there is no extra charge for the five to seven minute ride. But they may change their mind if too many want to get onboard and cause excessive costs.
