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.
This 11 million cubic foot balloon stood almost 400 feet high at launch and, at maximum altitude, is 275 feet across. Even though Alanâs balloon held 11 million cubic feet at the maximum altitude it only contained about 30 thousand cubic feet at launch.
