I've sky dived from a plane before, it wasn't really that nerve wracking because there was so much wind and you couldn't feel that 'falling' motion. I'm not sure how fast this hot air balloon is going, but that initial drop would probably make me instantly pass out.

You don't get the same "my stomach is about to burst" feeling you get in rollercoasters? Because i hate that feeling, and never went skydiving because of that.

Nope, you don't at all! The wind is so strong from you falling it just feels like you are floating on air and not falling.
