What to expect

Astro Orbiter is Tomorrowland's elevated rocket spinner, sending guests circling above the land in small spacecraft that riders can raise and lower themselves. The current version opened in 1994 as part of Magic Kingdom's New Tomorrowland refresh, replacing the earlier Star Jets theme with a more kinetic, retro-futuristic look centered around orbiting planets.
