I was excited to ride this ride because of the view and I normally love spinning rides. However the angle of this ride combined with the spinning made me sick. Thankfully it was a pretty short ride.
However, the rest of my family loved it!
Pros:
The viewCons:
The angle and spinning are too much to handle!Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/22/2021

It is not any unique ride but the view is amazing. I think that it is a must-do at least once especially at night during the firewroks.
Pros:
Great view.Cons:
Longline to get to the elevator which you need to get to the ride.Reviewed by ILoveDisneyWorld Review Date: 10/21/2021

I think the ride itself is very fun and way more exciting than dumbo or flying carpets. It is faster and higher up.
Pros:
Fast and high in the airCons:
The wait is almost always long and there is no fast pass for it.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/05/2021

This is a Dumbo style attraction except this one is a bit more thrilling and puts you at an angle
Pros:
More exciting than other Dumbo style attractionsCons:
For some reason long wait timesReviewed by ChefDionofLima Review Date: 09/29/2021

Best if ridden at night. Wonderful bird's eye view of Tomorrowland. Most people tend to head to Tomorrowland or Frontierland first, for obviously reasons. I find that crowds tend to be lighter at the end of the day, especially during fireworks. So if you don't mind missing the fireworks or parades those are the best times this attraction.
Pros:
Night time views of the Magic Kingdom are spectacular.Cons:
Long wait times can be an issue. Also people who have trouble with heights might want to avoid.Reviewed by JustinDoesDisney Review Date: 09/28/2021

If you've never ridden Astro Orbiter, don't write it off as being "just for kids!" Although from the ground it may just look like an elevated version of Dumbo, Magic Carpets of Aladdin, or TriceraTop Spin, it does spin fast enough (especially when descending from your "flight") to create a surprisingly strong centrifugal force that will make you think twice about letting go of the control lever or sides of the rocket ship! I especially like riding it at night to take in the beautiful, illuminated views of Magic Kingdom. It's definitely not the most thrilling ride in the Park (or Tomorrowland, for that matter), but I do recommend riding it at least once! Having said that, the line does get really long at times due to the slow loading/unloading process of the elevators and is probably not worth more than a 20-minute wait in my book.
Pros:
Great views of Tomorrowland and Cinderella Castle, a bit more thrilling than it looks, no height requirementCons:
Closes during inclement weather (ride it early!), line can get very longReviewed by FishinGoofy Review Date: 09/15/2021

Great ride for those who maybe don't like coasters. Not super thrilling but a good ride for littles. This ride does have some of the best views of the park especially at night.
Pros:
Mild ride good for newbies or those who don't like thrill rides. Great viewsCons:
A little slow. Not particularly exciting.Reviewed by Perkisizing Review Date: 09/04/2021

This is a Dumbo type attraction but what sets it apart is the views from the ride of the park. The views are incredible! It is very slow to load for this ride and I wouldn't wait more than 20 minutes for it.
Pros:
Great views!Cons:
slow to load and the line can get very long because of thatReviewed by Fisher55 Review Date: 08/23/2021

Solid Dumbo clone, with the twist that you are really high in the air.
