Business Idea for O’Connell Street

Surprised that nobody has done this in Ireland yet, but I think it would be a great business for someone. It’s one I looked at doing about 4 years ago, but didn’t have the capital to get it off the ground.

It’s called Parabounce – a 22 foot helium balloon with a harness underneath for one person. A slight push up from the ground will launch the rider 100 feet into the air. Imagine one of these on O’Connell Street or in some other location around the country. The view would be fantastic and could bring some much needed life into the capital’s main thoroughfare.

Check the Parabounce website and see the video of it in action.
