• The Astro Orbiter is a "rocket-spinner", aerial carousel-type attraction featured at five Disneyland-style parks and Walt Disney Resorts around the world...
  • Rocket ships, held by a medal arm, fly past spinning models of planets at Astro Orbiter.
  • On average, there is a moderate waiting time for the Astro Orbiter as the ride only has a limited capacity.
  • Between 1994 and 2009, the audio narration of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover referred to the ride as the “League of Planets Astro Orbiter.”
  • Once you get there, you get into your rocket ship (I believe the maximum is two adults and a child), strap in with the belt and the Astro Orbiter begins to take off.
  • Astro Orbiter loads 80 feet off the ground atop both The Lunching Pad restaurant and the “Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover” track.
  • Disney is renowned for its attention to detail and storytelling, and the Astro Orbiter is no exception.
  • Originally known as Star Jets, this ride became the Astro Orbiter in 1994.
