Well that depends on the size of the hot air balloon. The hot air balloon that we fly for private flights is a 105,000 cubic ft balloon. Maybe four high, four wide, and four long, or 4 x 4 x 4, or 64. 5. Now multiply 64 baseballs per cubit foot by the number of total cubic feet. In this case 105,000. So your answer would be 6. read more

For each 1000 cf you can expect under normal conditions 17.5 - 20 lbs of lift, so a balloon that is a 1000 cf an lift 17.5 - 20 lbs into the air if the internal temperature is heated to no greater than 250 F. read more
Actual weight varies with several atmospheric properties, including temperature, density, humidity and the altitude the balloon intends to fly. Actual conditions vary. Specific Hot Air Balloon Ride capacities are found on our fleet web pages. read more
