Astro Orbiter

[Ijustwannacomment122]

I like this ride. it's one of those boring classic "control the up and down motions" rides, but with a good theme and raised 20 or 30 feet in the air.

[RoyaLDaRevo]

going in 6 days wooooooooohooooooooooo

[RoyaLDaRevo]

cool i love the rid

[ClaresTour]

I rode it in the dark at night

[ClaresTour]

Its still up top

[HouCuseChickie95]

I agree about discounting this ride as a Dumbo style ride. I have been to WDW many times, but never went on this until my last trip. My preschool age kids and hubby LOVED it- but those final handful of spins where it really speeds up did a number on my head and tummy. It is a pretty cool up there. Great video!

[iiAngelic]

i wanted to go the last time i went to disney but i couldn't find the entrance DX

[smallgoddess]

....and this ride totally scared me when I went on it (with my then toddler) years ago....so high up

[smallgoddess]

I was explaining this ride to someone tonight and found this video, which helped so much in explaining....awesome first person view

[Zeyad1997]

I thought it would just be some dumb kiddie ride. But when I got on it went so high up and really fast haha. I felt like I was gonna fly off.

[themangoeffect]

this ride is like a more epic version of dumbo.

[blobfishrsmexii]

i remember it being a hell of a lot faster than that

[MrCupcakes76]

Once u get to the top... Never touch any of the hand rails there hot as hell

[1996Coaster]

lol, as soon as it starts everyone but about 4 people go straight to the top! XD

[thetony458]

I could tell this one goes faster than Dumbo. I could feel the centrifugal force pushing me against the side of the rocket

[SmileyV07]

someone accidentally pressed the dislike button...

[1mpyles]

so this is sort of like Aladdin and dumbos flight? looks fun!

[SmileyV07]

@1mpyles Yeah but on a higher elevation!

[crapper1]

a trip to disney without the hassle and the cost thank u for brining these vids

[WaltDisneyWorld101]

My first time riding this was in 08 when I was 12.

This was WONDERFUL! It felt like we were tilting SO far out of the ride.

I thought it was gonna be just like Dumbo actually.

Haha. I loved it!

[imagineer0220]

i love this ride!!

[Daniel2131990]

The1998 tommorrowland renovation in disneyland is joke is a disgrace compaired to the old tommorrowland from 1977-1997. I live in Southern Ca i am very pleased with your tommorrowland in florida but here disneyland took a wrong space flight.

[DisneyFan10000]

I loved how it tilted you and gave you the cool view of everything in the park. Amazing ride!

[flyinghigher3]

I have been on this ride! It is super fun!

[kennerzzz]

they tried putting me, my mom, and my sister all in one spaceship. we are all adults, and i am over 6 feet tall.

[KelseyBeePink]

Wow. It was quite a squish trying to fit my brother and I in the same ship. We're both teenagers.

[ForlornDrifter]

LOL, it's funny reading the comments about the storm clouds, I didn't even notice them, I had to rewatch it to see what people were talking about. I suppose it's because I'm from central florida, you just get so used to seeing weather like that around here that it seemed normal.

Anyway, I went to disney last week for night of joy but didn't have time for this ride. Seeing this brought back memories of riding this with my grandfather. Thanks for posting.

[yulesmiley2]

this ride it seems fallin when i went there!

[Gracievp]

there is always a massive queue for this ride because it loads so slow. ive only been on it a few times. amazing views though. (:

[mjmmorales]

they moved this ride to the ground. U no longer take a elevator to get on the ride.That really runed the ride.I can remember when I was a kid & u were so high up.Now its infront of tommorow land on the ground.They really runed this ride Why cant they just leave things the way they were? And why did they take out the peoplemovers.Theres one in Disney world.

[DTrigger05]

Per the description of this video: "A video of the Astro Orbiter in Tomorrowland of Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World"

This video was shot in 2007. It was not moved.

[maflores94]

@DTrigger05 yea cuz i was about to say that it still is the same since i went in Nov of 2009.

[JohnnyBGood103170]

@DTrigger05 Thank you for shooting this video! Would you say the ride is about the same as the dumbo ride but faster? From the ground of Tomorrow Land. It looks faster because it's so high up. So I never bothered to go up. It does seem fun from your video. Thanks again! Johnny

[janicebr29]

@JohnnyBGood103170 HI, I worked there and we can say it is the same as the dumbo ride but faster. It's pretty cool specialy at night and one time I had guests riding it during the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party fireworks which takes place in 5 different parts of Magic Kingdom. People loved it.

[HPFreak4Life1708]

it might have been moved cause kids were afraid of being up so high

[iiAngelic]

@DTrigger05 i think hes talking about disneyland

[DTrigger05]

@iiAngelic He was also talking about it as if *this* video is of Disneyland's, hence my correction that it is not.

[faridjabba]

what is a peoplemover´?pls

[thetony458]

@faridjabba its what the Tomarrowland Transit Authority was originally called

[kiapolo2002]

the people movers got taken out because somebody fell out and broke a few bones and then another person fell out and died and because the families were suing for it disney was able to convince the families to settle by agreeing to remove the people mover for good...so because somebodys water head relatives couldnt follow rules which resulted in a lawsuit (how american), a ride that everyone loved is gone...

[DReifGalaxyM31]

That's Disneyland you refer to. And Disney World has the Tomorrowland Transit Authority for a PeopleMover. *_*

[LHSdrmr]

wtf?..................8/

[ForlornDrifter]

Ahhh the people mover...... such a simple ride yet so awesome! it's always busy here at WDW. I couldn't believe it when i heard you guys in california had it removed.

Disneyland fail.

[Schwarze999]

@ForlornDrifter People mover + night time = awesome

[sc077tube]

@ForlornDrifter That's the ride(The people mover) you want to ride when it's 90+ degrees outside. The AC inside space mountain is A M A Z I N G.

[djlowtek]

@mjmmorales

This video is of disney world, you are thinking of disneyland

[lookatmeanimator]

@mjmmorales are you talking about the disneyland one? (if there is one?)

[ThePirateprincess23]

@mjmmorales The one in Disneyland was moved to the front of Tomorrowland, not the one in WDW.

[CNDTV]

@mjmmorales i just went in July. They didnt move it

[mjmmorales]

@mjmmorales I no its in the Magic kingdom ,Disney world I was refuring to disneyland in California.They but it on the ground and took out the people movers.

[Benstudio13]

@mjmmorales That's what happened at Disneyland. Walt Disney World's is still on a platform but got a makeover along with the rest of Tomorrowland in 1994 while Disneyland's was changed in 1998.

[myersonrich]

@mjmmorales i was there a couple weeks ago and they had the elevator

[ztslovebird]

Hey, how do you get ON this ride? I've seen/passed by it about a gazillion times, but I can never find the line for the ride.

[QuadRider004]

there is like an elevator you go up....thats all i can remember... lol....

[ztslovebird]

OH!!! So THAT'S what the elevator's for!! I thought they were for something else, or the fastpass entrance for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority!

[2brothersvideos]

There is no fastpass for the TTA

[faridjabba]

jajaj, me neither when i was there

[velajennycool]

is this ride scary it looks very scary i also thinking about riding splash mountain but its scary

[faridjabba]

i think more scary its spacemounntain´but its so cool

[FukYoMomma]

The Astro Orbiter is okay as a ride, but I really love to look at it because its aesthetic design is so imaginative and colorful.

I'd keep the Astro Orbiter around just for its appearance because it makes Tomorrowland more appealing, but I'd make a second Astro Orbiter that sits inside of a planetarium (a large dome that has the stars projected onto the interior walls). Now THAT would make it a great ride!

[bubbleboy97]

it would be great having a room in the contemporary hotel and seeing all of this. i went there but i didnt get that great of a view

[DTrigger05]

Haha yeah, that's one of the reasons I chose to record it when I did. Shows just how frakkin crazy Florida weather is.

[ikilledit111]

@DTrigger05 sumone told me that it will rain and then when it stops raining it looks like it idnt even rain

[You2Bert]

Can you do a nighttime version of this please?

[DTrigger05]

Sorry, but I can't. I live in California...don't get out to WDW very often.

[FemmeDePunkRock]

When my daughter (15) was a little girlie (about 2) we asked her what was the last ride she wanted to go on for the night, she said the red spinny on top! You know we still call it that! Love the view! Thanks for posting!

[woodencoasterfan]

Great video, thanks for posting it. I remember when this ride had the NASA Saturn V rocket on the center tower and all the smaller surounding ships has a similar design.

[yelhsa784]

LMFAO!

Nice I do the same.

[rollercoastersrock]

i love going on this. it gives u a great view of the park. its great to go on during the fireworks. short line and clear view of the fireworks

[BlahBlahBlah143]

This ride looks so.... boring. O_O I think I went on it when I was little. Man, I haven't been to Disney in such a long time. D:

This ride does have a good view of everything though.

[Gracievp]

there is always a massive line for it tho

[icecreamgal101]

omg i HATED this ride! im afraid of heights and my friend forced me onto it! plus its too short! 30 SECONDS IS NOT ENOUGH!

[markbundles2]

I'm 16 and i just rode this for my first time on thanksgiving day of last year (2008) and i had a perfect view of the Castle at night. this was the perfect end to an amazing trip. Good Video.

[DisneyDancin7]

i've always known this ride was there, but i don't think i've ever been on it, though my family claims i have...i think they went on it when i was little and i didnt go...

[powerplayer84]

i haven't ridden on this one in a decade (10 yrs)!

[disneyworldmonorail1]

thanks for the info

[disneyworldmonorail1]

where is this in wdw. can you please tell me?

[DTrigger05]

Magic Kingdom, Tomorrowland, atop Rocket Tower Plaza (above TTA's load). Elevators are located between Space and TTA load.

[JustinDARCB]

I goin to Disney Wed and ive never seen this ride Is it Fyn

[DTrigger05]

Yeah, it's fun - much more so than it's counterpart at Disneyland in California as it's still on top of the TTA station. However - I wouldn't wait very long. Maybe two cycles on the elevator at most.

[angel8367]

..did they just add the elevators? or were they always there? lol

[angel8367]

nevermind..theyve always been there :)

[Dragonrider1227]

I havn't ridding THIS since it was Star Jets! I feel old now ;_;

[TMWilson7196]

I never rode this ride because I never new what it was. Now that I've seen this video I will ride it in Nov. when we go to WDW. Thank you for sharing the video.

[Stitchip]

cool video on the earth

[Audreyw24]

Very nice! Great job on the video!

[bri035]

i luv DISNEY
