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.
After more than an hour, we realized that by running in the direction of the wind while playing out cord, we could get the balloons about 90 feet into the air. This photograph shows our tobikko sculpture at its greatest altitude. Unfortunately, this still wasn't high enough to capture a view of the marked acre.
