Happy Ghasts seem to be a great way of transportation, especially for multiple players and in the wide overworld. However, one thing that could be improved is the speed of the Happy Ghast to make longer exploration flights with it not way slower than just walking, but just making the Happy Ghast faster without any cost would definitly make it a too strong transportation method. So a simple way of solving that would be adding the possibility of feeding snowballs to Happy Ghasts which results in a slightly faster movement of the Ghast for 30-120 seconds (I´m not sure what the best duration would be)
Another option would be adding a new item with the only purpose of acting as a Happy Ghast `fuel´, either without giving snowballs the same effect or by giving the new item a stronger speed boost
With that change implemented, you can decide if you want to use the Happy Ghast for long travels with a slower speed than sprinting on land or swimming with a boat even though you have to feed it snowballs every 30-120 seconds, but with a higher mobility as you fly in the air, giving you an advantage in hilly, mountain-like areas and biomes.
Overall, this change would make Happy Ghasts a viable transportation method also for long distances with the cost of having to have snowballs in your inventory and feed them to the Happy Ghast periodically.
An optional addition to that functionality to allow auto-feeding of the Happy Ghast is explained in this post
