Tethered Airship Cruise Liner

The great thing about airships is how low and slow they can fly. You can check out the scenery like you can't with any other mode of transportation. The bad thing is their tendency to split in two during a thunderstorm and kill everybody on board.

Basically this is a Macy's Thanksgiving Parade float with luxury staterooms. You'd cruise at say 100 feet, secured to a massive land roving bus thing moving on tank treads or massive wheels that could real you in as necessary should the weather turn nasty.

It would travel off road since you couldn't get under bridges.

I'd like to add to this a track version that runs along existing railroad tracks or a made specifically for the job monorail. Picture this going over mountain ranges, valleys, majestic glaciers, waterfalls etc.

This would be really cool in that it eliminates another hazard, mainly that of a drunk guy at the wheel of the moving anchor unit driving the whole thing off a cliff or something.

I actually like that idea a lot more.
