     BALLOON PASSENGER WAIVER

Looking for the Carousel Waiver? Click here!

This form is a waiver, not a reservation. To be added to the flight list, follow the signs to check in with staff when you arrive at the park.

Waivers are valid for the day they are completed only. Waiver submission does not guarantee a ride or place your party on the flight list. 

Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult. Waivers are for adult passengers only. All persons under the age of 18 must receive written authorization by a parent or guardian.

Registration will not be processed unless the Registration Waiver is signed by Rider and/or Rider's Guardian. In consideration of accepting this registration, and to the extent permitted by law, I hereby agree to release, indemnify, defend and hold harmless on behalf of myself (and any minor children for whom I have the capacity to contract) the City of Irvine, the Orange County Great Park Corporation, Aerophile California LLC, and their officers, clients, agents, sponsors, volunteers, and employees (the “releasees”) from and against any and all liabilities, claims, penalties, losses, or expenses (including attorneys' fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether related to bodily injury, property damage, communicable diseases, illnesses, viruses (including but not limited to COVID-19), or any other form of injury or loss to myself (and to any minor children for whom I have the capacity to contract), caused by any negligent act or omission of the City of Irvine, the Orange County Great Park Corporation, Aerophile California LLC. or their officers, clients, agents, sponsors, volunteers, or employees (the “releasees”), arising out of or in any way related to participation in activities involving the tethered helium balloon ride Great Park for which I (and any minor child for whom I have the capacity to contract) am registering.

I am aware that the tethered helium balloon ride at Great Park may entail risks, including, but not limited to, injury due to capsize of the passenger gondola, collision with obstacles on the ground or in the air, falling while getting in or out of the balloon gondola, or falling while aboard the balloon in the air or on the ground, death, communicable diseases, illnesses, viruses (including, but not limited to COVID-19), temperature extremes and inclement weather, including wind. I assume full responsibility for these and all other risks, and the risk of bodily injury while participating in tethered helium balloon ride activities at Great Park, whether during preparation, take-off, flight, or landing, whether due to the active or passive negligence of the releasees or otherwise. By signing below, I acknowledge and accept the risks for myself and for any minor participants for whom I can contract.

I give permission to the City of Irvine to take photographs of me or my children while participating in this activity for use in future City publicity and understand that I will not receive any compensation for such use.
