Shocked by low ratings of a classic ride. Is it the same ride vehicle of Dumbo? Yes it is. But I have to ask so what? Many classic Disneyland rides are similar. And anyone who compares this ride to any ride in Walt Disney World needs to know this predates those rides. This and Dumbo predate any of the similar rides in Florida. So these are the originals. This is a fun ride for Jr. space voyagers. One of my earliest memories was riding the predecessor of this ride when it mounted atop the PeopleMover years before an identical version arrived in Florida. Plus this, like Dumbo, is an interactive ride.
Pros:
Fun for all and an early interactive ride.Cons:
None really.Reviewed by IGunnels Review Date: 04/24/2019

Right up front in Tomorrowland, next to the orange tree. Fun perspective at nighttime, as you can even see DCA glowing in all their nighttime lights. Fun for those who can tolerate tighter circles.
Pros:
Simplistic ride, space, enjoyable with children, not up on high platform like WDWCons:
Slow loader, can be a motion sickness activatorReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/08/2021

This ride is a classic basically dumbo. It’s great for kids but there’s no big thrill and it’s not worth the wait. But I love the view of Main Street USA when you’re on Astro orbiter.
Pros:

This is the first attraction you see when you enter Tomorrowland. This is a great ride for kids, but if you get motion sick from spinning rides, it may not be the best choice for you. My five year old niece loves this ride.
Pros:
Great for kidsCons:

Astro Orbiter is definitely a Disney classic attraction. My brother and I made this a must do at Disneyland when we went as younger kids, but wouldn't wait more than 30 minutes for this ride. I enjoy the views from the highest point you can get your rocket and that is enough for me to like this ride.
Pros:
Classic Disney attraction, great for kids, great viewsCons:
long can get long, same ride system as DumboReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/27/2021

This one is worth doing maybe once a decade. It's a simple up and down, round and round. More enjoyable at night to overlook some of the lights in the park. Probably more fun for kids than adults. A larger version of Dumbo.
Pros:
One of the shorter lines in the park, a relaxing way to wind down a dayCons:
Tiny seats, slow loader, unexcitingReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/08/2021
