点评:Make sure you double check the weather conditions before heading out to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta as they often cancel the events scheduled if the wind or weather is not cooperating. Set your smartphone up with the app that will alert you if it is a green/yellow/or red light to go.
We chose the Park & Ride ticket at Cottonwood Mall, The very first bus for the mass ascension day was 4a.m. but plan to arrive around by 3:15a.m. or so as the bus line keeps building. The wait is actually not that bad as they start loading the buses around 3:50a.m.
It was worth to get up that early and see the Drone Light Show, Dawn Patrol Show, and the Mass Ascension. As soon as the sunrise happened, before we knew it, the balloons were all taking turns to rise up in the air and it was such an experience to be on the ground to witness all the colorful and whimsical hot air balloons that were in line to prepare for take-off . Plan to spend at least 4-5 hours here as the restroom and food lines can get long. There was also a line to get in the Gift Shop and there are various vendor stalls. It is best to walk around the grounds to see all the various hot air balloons lifting up as it happens so quickly. By around 10a.m., pretty much the majority of the hot air balloons were up in the air.
Definitely it is worth to visit the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta at least once in your life if you haven't had the opportunity!!
翻译:前往阿尔伯克基国际热气球节之前,务必仔细查看天气预报,因为如果风向或天气不佳,主办方通常会取消活动。建议您在智能手机上安装天气预报应用程序,以便在绿灯/黄灯/红灯亮起时收到提醒。
我们选择了在Cottonwood购物中心购买停车换乘票。集体升空日的首班车是凌晨4点,但建议您在凌晨3点15分左右到达,因为巴士队伍会不断增加。其实等待时间并不算长,巴士大约在凌晨3点50分开始上客。
早起观看无人机灯光秀、黎明巡逻表演和集体升空仪式非常值得。日出之后,我们还没反应过来,所有的热气球就依次升空了。站在地面上,亲眼目睹所有色彩缤纷、造型奇特的热气球排队准备起飞,真是一次难忘的体验。建议至少预留 4-5 小时游览,因为洗手间和餐饮区可能会排长队。礼品店也需要排队,此外还有各种摊位。最好在场地内漫步,观看各种热气球升空,因为升空过程非常迅速。大约上午 10 点左右,大部分热气球都已升空。
如果您还没有机会,那么一生中至少应该去一次阿尔伯克基国际热气球节!
