"Before we could get on to the airship that had room for about six to eight people, we had to watch a safety video in which the narrator told us that you can't wear heels on the blimp - but that if you'd worn them today, you could check with a Goodyear representative and they'd see about other arrangements."
"The ride was gentler than I'd anticipated - kind of like a boat ride in a harbor. We took off from a giant dirt field at the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal and tooled around for 30 minutes or so."
"When we got over Coachella, we could see a few hundred Beliebers camped out as close to the main stage as they could get - nine or 10 hours before Bieber's performance was scheduled to begin."
"Back on the ground, we had to get off the blimp two by two, each duo replaced by a new pair of folks who'd responded to an email asking if they might want to a ride on a humongous floating billboard."
A ride on the Goodyear blimp at Coachella requires passengers to avoid wearing heels. After a safety video, a small group enjoyed a gentle 30-minute flight over the festival. From above, they observed fans waiting for a performance, appearing small yet enthusiastic. Upon landing, passengers exited two by two, making way for new riders eager for the unique experience.
