I would like to point out that we became very diligent about checking the weather and the fiesta website before each of these failed trips. However, by the time a dawn patrol and glow and ascension is cancelled, it's already time for the thing to start and if we weren't already at the park we'd be stuck in traffic. I'm fairly sure this is just an elaborate hoax to make sure as many people as possible have to pay to park. Or maybe all the money is in the food sales? In any case, the 'good' weather we left in quickly deteriorated into a thunderstorm and a downpour of rain. This is the safety patrol balloon, who usually flies the dawn patrol (the lady in charge was hilariously arguing with the fiesta officials). Irony being if they had gone when scheduled they would have been done flying by the time the storm hit, but the officials made everyone delay to see what the storm would do. And then the whole shebang was cancelled. Except for the chainsaw carving.
