Best Answer: A tethered hot air balloon flight will typically be between 50-75 feet. It's high enough for the passengers to get a feel for the height and manageable enough for rope length. I have heard of some gas ride balloons that are on a winch go higher. To tell you the truth, I can't recall the max height for tethering. It wouldn't be different than for gas balloons.
Calculating Altitude. In order to calculate how high a balloon could go before popping, you need to calculate the density of a helium balloon that has a radius of 0.1143 mm. Calculate the volume of the balloon using the formula for the volume of a sphere; then use the volume to calculate the density.n 1987, a British man, Ian Ashpole, set the reported world record for highest helium-balloon flight. Using 400 helium balloons with radii of one foot, he achieved the height of one mile, 1,575 yards without any of the balloons popping. This figure is the highest recorded altitude of a helium balloon.
