What was the second longest balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
According to some accounts, the third Superman balloon was second longest at 104 feet, while the 1937 Nantucket Sea Monster was the longest at 120 feet. Others claim the Superman balloon was the largest in parade history.
Although the exact lengthen isn't given, one of the three Snoopy balloons was allegedly ten stories tall, and may qualify as second (or third) in height.
The age of enormous balloons has ended, though. In 1997, a six-story high Cat in the Hat struck a lamp post at the corner of Central Park West and 72nd, causing the lamp arm to fall on a bystander, putting her in a month-long coma. As a result, the city of New York passed an ordinance limiting the height of balloons and leading to the retirement of the Pink Panther, Woody Woodpecker, and the Cat in the Hat, all of which were significantly over-sized.
Currently (2010), the longest balloon is Kermit the Frog at 78 feet plus, followed by the 2009 version of Spiderman, which is just a few inches shorter.
