Location: Tomorrowland

Description:  Astro Orbiter® is a hub and spoke ride that opened in Tomorrowland in 1974 and was originally called Star Jets. This is one of the three hub and spoke rides found throughout the Magic Kingdom. Although it only lasts around 90 seconds this is an awesome nighttime attraction as you get views of Tomorrowland that you can’t get anywhere else!

Average Wait Times: This ride does not offer fast pass and the fact that an elevator must be taken to the loading area can mean long waits at times.
