Tomorrowland! It is a land filled with details, historical Disney facts, and nostalgia! Astro Orbiter is a happy ride that is sure to make you smile! And the best part is that the entire family can ride!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Queue\"><\/span>The Queue<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no Lightning Lane for the Astro Orbiter, and the Standby wait times fluctuate between 15 &#8211; 40 minutes throughout the day.

Because of the low rider capacity, this attraction takes longer to get through the line.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ride\"><\/span>The Ride<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Astro Orbiter is actually the EXACT same ride system as Dumbo! We have seen it in Magic Carpets of Aladdin, and also Triceratop Spin. Even though it is essentially the same ride, it feels so much more exciting and intense because you are so high off the ground! You can see all of the Magic Kingdom!<\/p>\n<p>Just like the classic Dumbo, Astro Orbiter has no height requirements!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ride_Vehicle\"><\/span>The Ride Vehicle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-25435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Astro-Orbiter-Sign.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Astro-Orbiter-Sign.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Astro-Orbiter-Sign-600x140.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Astro-Orbiter-Sign-300x70.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Astro-Orbiter-Sign-768x179.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ride vehicles are miniature rocket ships with levers that can make the ships go up and down.
