Never done the balloon flight over Kissimmee but we did do one last year in Luxor over the Valley of the Kings. Cost an arm and a leg but it was for a big birthday of my husbands. You dont really feel like you are very high up. I was not in the bit afraid and was too busy looking around in wonderment of it all to be scared. We came back having had a marvellous time and were discussing it by the pool, when a lady who overheard came over and told us that the balloon the day before had had to ditch from quite a height. Apparently the basket hit the floor hard and everyone had fallen out. No one badly hurt but a lot of bruises. It would not put me off going again ( money permitting) because accidents happen, but the safety aspects should be born in mind.
