Though it looks like a hot air balloon at first glance, it uses helium buoyancy for vertical flight and is safer due to the use of non-flammable gas. The balloon is tethered to the ground with cables, minimizing the risk of deviation from the planned flight path.
Similar tethered gas balloons operate in places like Szechenyi Baths in Budapest, Hungary, Disneyland Paris, and Walt Disney World in Orlando, USA.
