Astro Orbiter
Astro Orbiter is the rocket spinner in Tomorrowland. The ride has had this name since 1994; before that it was called Star Jets. You fly in a two-seater retro rocket around a galaxy of planets.
The concept
The rockets circle a large structure of planets, high above the Tomorrowland plaza. The design has a retro-futuristic look, the future as people used to imagine it. If you know Disneyland Paris, you'll recognise the idea from Orbitron.
The Experience
Your rocket lifts off, picks up speed and starts circling the planets. Meanwhile, the bustle of Tomorrowland flashes past far below you. With the lever you push the rocket higher or let it drop. The ride is short, but the height and speed make it feel more thrilling than it looks.

Lovely view
The rockets spin high above Tomorrowland. You look out over the park and Cinderella Castle.
Lovely after dark
In the evening the planets are lit up and the view over the park is even more beautiful.
You're the captain
A lever in your rocket lets you decide how high you fly.
Visitor information
There is no minimum height. Children under 7 must be accompanied by someone aged 14 or over. There is no Lightning Lane. The rockets are small, so the queue can move slowly. Afraid of heights? Then you'd better skip this one.
Spinning among the stars
Astro Orbiter is a cheerful ride with one of the best views in Magic Kingdom. Go in the evening, when the planets light up.
