The Spring Balloon Festival is a micro-holiday event that takes place around Azeroth and alternate Draenor. Balloon pilots travel around the world to bring their balloons to various places. Any denizen of Azeroth can find them on their map and should they visit them, they will be taken for a ride.
Event
The skies are clear, the wind is calm... it's a great day for hot air ballooning. Hop into a hot air balloon, enjoy the scenery, and make some new friends!
Requirements
When you arrive to a balloon destination, you must talk to the balloon owner to queue up. When three people have queued up, the ride can begin.

- Rungle says: Hot towel? Only the best for our customers!
- Boscoe says: Rungle, why don't ya heat up the barbecue, then get the fireworks ready.
- Rungle says: Sure thing, boss.
- Boscoe says: Ya might be wondering how I can run such a classy balloon outfit and still turn a profit. Well, lemme tell ya.
- Boscoe says: The trick is, ya don't reveal the price to the customer 'til they're up in the balloon with ya!
- Boscoe says: That'll be 28.542 gold each--gratuity NOT included. Unless of course, you'd like Rungle here to break your legs.
- Rungle says: Okay boss, I put the fireworks on the barbecue, like you said.

Zang Cloudwalker
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Greeting! Please step into the basket...and prepare for the most educational balloon ride of your life.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Today we will be taking a scenic balloon tour over the ancient city of Suramar.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: But first, I will be taking attendance.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Quite the talkative bunch, now on with the tour!
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Suramar, as we all know, is home to the Nightborne elves.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Among other things, the Nightborne are known for being rather disagreeable.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: <name>, can you tell me what mind-altering substance the Nightborne use to relax?
- Zang Cloudwalker says: The substance they consume is, of course, mana.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Consuming so much mana has had an effect on the Nightborne's bodies.
- Zang Cloudwalker says: <name>, what specific feature of Nightborne anatomy has been "enhanced" by excessive mana use?
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Very close! The answer I was looking for was "their skin".
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Final question, for <name>. What is the traditional greeting used in Suramar City?
- Zang Cloudwalker says: Good guess! The correct answer is: "An illusion! What are you hiding?"
- Zang Cloudwalker says: That's all for today. Thank you for flying...and study up for next time.

- Chen Stormstout says: Ahhh... but I do have fond memories of my time here in Northrend.
- Chen Stormstout says: Just over that ridge lies Sholazar Basin. There I met tribes of wolvar and murloc oracles. Such strange creatures!
- Chen Stormstout says: After all the journeys I've been on, I still remember that day the most clearly.
- Chen Stormstout says: Please, pardon me for blathering on. No doubt the tales of your own adventures are much more exciting!

- Chen Stormstout says: And you?
- Chen Stormstout says: Or you? What tales of exploration do you hold dear?

- Lin Cloudwalker says: I have a confession I'd like to make to the three of you.

- Lin Cloudwalker says: Is this good enough for you, father? Huh? ARE YOU PROUD OF ME NOW, DAD?!?!
