This vintage Tomorrowland attraction has incredible views of the castle and is more thrilling than the other Dumbo style attractions but I have one con. I think it should be on lightning Lane multipass because sometimes it can get lengthy weights.

Pros:

Amazing view of the castle. More thrilling than other Dumbo style attractions. Vintage Tomorrowland attraction.

Cons:

It should be on lightning Lane multipass because it can sometimes get lengthy weights.

This old Disney vintage Tomorrowland attraction has some exceptional views, especially at night and is more thrilling than other Dumbo style attractions but sometimes isn't memorable and not always a must do.

Pros:

Good view of the castle(especially at night) More thrilling than Dumbo or magic carpets of Aladdin. Vintage Tomorrowland attraction.

Cons:

Might get motion sickness. Similar to other Dumbo style attractions. Some find it too thrilling.

Not a fan of heights or elevators

Pros:

Great views of fireworks if timed right

Cons:

Elevator up, and then your out in the open up even higher, would not recommend if you don't like height

This ride is best at night. The seating and ride set up are old school. It offers great views of tomorrowland and the castle. Best Ariel Carosel in Disney!

Pros:

Great views Thrilling Old school nostalgic seating and ride set up

Cons:

It seems a little bit faster than dumbo so can induce motion sickness Hard to get in and out of the seats

Always a fav for our family but not ideal for anyone with a fear of heights and it can be difficult for some to get in and out of the rockets.

Pros:

Great Magic Kingdom views, amped up Dumbo style attraction.

Cons:

Rockets can be hard to get in and out of, extra high up, brutal loading and unloading process with the elevators

A big NOPE for me … the only ride anywhere that has ever brought me to tears .. frightening

Pros:

I can’t think of a single one

Cons:

Please do not compare this to dumbo … sweet little dumbo doesn’t attempt to tip you over and pour you out

Astro Orbiter sits in the hub of Tomorrowland, on top of Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies. Although similar to a couple of other attractions in Magic Kingdom, Astro Orbiter soars to new heights, literally. This attraction has a unique loading process which involves a pair of elevators bringing guests up to ride. When taking flight on this ride, you have a view of the park that you can't get anywhere else, but you might find that your rocket isn't too spacious. An adult and child might find the rocket to be comfortable, but if you are thinking of riding with another adult...you won't have a lot of room to work with. I I enjoy riding Astro Orbiter, but it wouldn't be my first pick of attractions in Tomorrowland.

Pros:

Provides a beautiful and unique view of Tomorrowland! (especially at night)

Cons:

It can get a little chilly way up there in the colder months! Since the loading process involves an elevator ride, the line can appear to move slower because of the stop-and-go flow of the queue.

You can see most of tomorrow land and Magic Kingdom and I like it more at night

Cons:

It obviously can’t be helped but the wait time ??
