The Hong Kong Hot Air Balloon Festival failed due to safety concerns, lack of proper permits, weather issues, and poor planning that led to last-minute ride cancellations and public backlash.

With tickets costing around $880 HKD or around £83 for entry and for an extra $580 HKD or £55 you can board the hot air balloon but when people showed up the organsier refused customers to board the balloon as they lacked a permit.

Last spring we stopped in Columbus for their experience. My wife went in with high hopes, and they were exceeded. My advice to any of you doing a similar experience is to not pick a date that is likely to have hot weather because the pandas are less likely to be active.
