Could it have been the balloon ride mentioned here (http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3655) ?

MaryS,

It is a gas filled balloon tethered to the ground by a cable. It is used for getting folks up in the air to see the great view. Cost is about $20 per adult, with kids at a lower price.

It has been there all season. I first saw it during Bike Week. Those I know that have gone on it tell me it is a great experience.
