Because of its height, riders on Astro Orbiter can see terrain outside the Magic Kingdom, most notably the Contemporary Resort.

An elaborate diorama including planets and other celestial objects enhance the setting of Astro Orbiter.

Astro Orbiter has 12 rocket ships that can hold up to two riders each.

Guests are transport to and from the rockets via elevator.

Astro Orbiter loads 80 feet off the ground atop both The Lunching Pad restaurant and the “Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover” track.

Originally called “Star Jets,” Astro Orbiter received a name change as well as a refurbishment as part of a comprehensive Tomorrowland enhancement in 1994.
