Panoramamagic - DLRP's New Balloon ride
 

Panormamagic. The site is in French, but there are pretty pictures.

Cool info. Thanks, NA!

Here is a LINK to that same Web site translated into English by Google.

Cool. They're having the year of Jules Verne!

Ah Ha!!!! So that's what it is. We saw them building something there on the lake from our hotel room when we were there, but coudln't figure out what it could be. I wish I could read the page, the google translation jobby doesn't seem to be working right now.

The main page details the opening date as April 9, 2005. PanoraMagique will be the largest tethered balloon in the world. Visitors will be able to fly away and contemplate the incredible landscape of Disneyland Paris and the surrounding neighborhoods from the sky. Ride time is 6 minutes. You rise 100 meters in the air and have a full 360 degree view up to 20 km.

That sounds pretty awesome. Even the view from our hotel was tight, with the castle and space mountain sticking out from the trees.

OOps, didn't see Steph post a translation.

its in the air
 

Hi,

since easter saturday the ballon is in the air. Its taking 10 to 20+ people 100m up in the air depending on the wind. I have not been on it yet (cause I want to go when the sky is really blue) but will go on soon.
Its 12 € for an adult,
