The classic hot air balloon with the round balloon and gas burner thing. It’s easy to see how it goes up or down, but how do people go where they want to – or get back!

Not an expert but have been to a few Balloon Fiestas. As others have said the wind blows in different directions at different altitudes.
At one fiesta the wind at ground level and higher up was blowing in opposite directions. Allowing the pilots to take off, fly off, back overhead and land back in the arena they started from. Its fair to say a number of pilots missed the arena and balloons were landing all over the place, but it was an amazing site to behold.
