Astro Orbitor (Disneyland)

too bad the planets are back to not spinning again. :(

[mjmmorales]

I miss the old one the one were you took the elevator to get to the ride.Why did they move it to the ground and take out the people movers

[DisneyParkAudios]

I like this one more than the one at WDW due to that it is the original ride, but just placed at a new location and that the planets are back moving and are better than ever!

the view from astro orbitor is beautiful

[wonderfullywise]

Its in the works!! they painted it and are now re assembling it !! if all goes right it should be working by July !!

Great video. One of these days I'll have to visit Disneyland. I live in Orlando and I've visited WDW many times but I'd like to see the first of Walt Disney's parks.

In my opinion Disneyworld's Astro Orbiter is a way better experience than DIsneyland's. By they way, the planet's on DIsneyland's don't even work like they did on this video anymore.

[woodencoasterfan]

Though I haven't beed to Disneyland yet, I can say that the Astro Orbiter at WDW in Orlando, FL (where I live) looks to be better simply on the basis that it's mounted 30 ft in the air on top of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority ride (the old WED Way People Mover). The planets on that one don't move either.

The planets are scheduled for repair this April!

[JordiekinsxxReal]

and now they're taking apart the whole structure. It looks so weird.

[589wz97]

thanks for posting this. I've been looking for a video like this for a while.

[589wz97]

i remember this when the middle section used to work. But im 13 now. It stopped working when I was about 4-5 years old. Why does it not work anymore and if they rebuild the old rocketjets platform, why don't they justmake they planets on a separate ring like it is in Disneyworld. Please Reply.

The ride still works, but the orbs on top don't orbit anymore sad. :(

[WDITrent]

the middle section doesn't spin like it did anymore, and the upper and lower sections spin in the same direction now... am i right?

They need to get this thing working again! It's amazing when it works!

WHAT SONG IS THIS?

[flynhawyn77]

Walt, tell them to move it back on top of the peoplemover station!!!!! Please!!!! This is just a friggin tragedy!!!!!

[ridemaster]

They can't place it up there because it's too heavy compared to the old Rocket Jets. Currently, the old Rocket Jets is the non-rideable spinning attraction that's on top of the peoplemover now, called the Observatron.

That was a very nice video. Horner's Rocketeer score is great!

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Wanna know what Dumbo would look like if he was a rocket? Now's your chance. The Astro Orbitor kind of ruins the feel of Town Square a lot. If Walt was still alive Tomorrowland would be better.

i am love astro orbiter

[ParkHopper]

Theme from The Rocketeer.

[Dragonrider1227]

I like how WDW has the rockets above Tommorrowland. Never been up there, but the view must be fantastic!

[marcosvalenca]

Please, was that from the original Disneyland or in Paris?

[ParkHopper]

The original.

[marcosvalenca]

I didn't know Astro Orbitor was so troublesome. One of a few failures by Disney imagineers, I believe.

[galza]

Wow, fantastic video of such a mundane ride. Great camera work man!

[DisneyFreakToTheMax]

WHOO!!! 4 TO COMMENT!!! i didnt really noticed it moving or not. i always wanted to go on that ride but then the lines were bigger than matterhorn. anyways, thanks

[SoCalCoaster]

Sigh, how sad. Oh well. If the rumors become true, this thing will become a thing of the past, and the Astro Orbiter will retake it's rightful place atop the PeopleMover platform, high above Tomorrowland.

[musicgirl999]

They're taking it out?

[spikejunior]

This is so cool - I have never seen it move!

[KritterHC]

I can't even remember the last time I have seen those globes on top move.
