Astro-Orbiter

Fodor's Review:

Duration: 2 min.

Crowds: Often large, and the line moves slowly.

Strategy: Visit while waiting out your Space Mountain Fastpass appointment or skip on your first visit if time is limited, unless there's a short line.

Audience: All ages.

Rating:

This gleaming superstructure of revolving planets has come to symbolize Tomorrowland as much as Dumbo represents Fantasyland. Passenger vehicles, on arms projecting from a central column, sail past whirling planets; you control your car's altitude but not the velocity. The line is directly across from the entrance to the TTA.
