ASTRO ORBITER JET SERIES

Expedition Everest 🎡 Park: Animal KingdomĮxpedition Everest is one of the most popular rides at Animal Kingdom. The only saving feature of this ride (aside from the fact it’s often voted one of the best at Walt Disney World) is that given the ride is relatively new the motions are rather smooth and the quality of the screen is incredible.

Meanwhile the seat your sitting on will turn to represent this, as such there are a number of quick turns and sharp drops. Once the ride begins your 3D glasses combined with the screen will show you riding across mountains, over open water and through forests. This is predominantly due to this ride being a 3D motion simulation ride.ĭuring the ride you’ll sit on a seat that’s similar to a motorcycle – this is designed to represent you sitting on a banshee. However, it has been well known to cause some guests with motion sickness discomfort. We are devastated to have to put Avatar’s Flight of Passage on this list, as the ride is incredible. Avatar’s Flight of Passage 🎡 Park: Animal Kingdom The only two saving features of this ride are that you don’t have to move your car up and down at all if you please, and that given the height you have some fantastic views out over Magic Kingdom. Spinning, moving up and down and being at a height is a trio that many people are sensitive to – if that’s you then you may want to skip this ride. Astro Orbiter 🎡 Park: Magic KingdomĪstro Orbiter is situated on top of The Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland and combines the Mad Tea Party or Magic Carpets of Aladdin with height.ĭuring this ride, you’ll spin around a central point, and have the ability to move the car you are situated in up and down as you please. Therefore in our opinion, it’s well worth stretching to go on if you can.

However, unlike some of the other rides on this list, Space Mountain is iconic having been in the park since 1975. You’ll move along the track at speed and experience some spinning and sudden drops, as such this may be a ride those who are sensitive to these motions want to skip. Space Mountain is an indoor rollercoaster that takes place in the dark. However, that doesn’t prevent some of them from causing severe motion sickness to those who are sensitive to movements (simulated or otherwise).

A Hulk Hogan Connection?: After it was removed, the rocket that served as the hub for Star Jets was painted and made an appearance in the television series Thunder in Paradise starring wrestler Hulk Hogan, Chris Lemmon (son of Jack Lemmon), and swimsuit model Carol Alt.It’s no secret that the rides at Walt Disney World are some of the best.

The Attraction's History: Astro Orbiter remains essentially unchanged from when it opened in 1995.

At around the same time, the name of the WEDway People Mover was changed to Tomorrowland Transit Authority. In 1994, Star Jets closed, was torn down, and Astro Orbiter was built, premiering in 1995. On July 1, 1975, WEDway People Mover opened and the area pretty much took on its current form. Star Jets was an attraction along the same lines as the current Astro Orbiter, though it had fewer rockets and they orbited around a large rocket ship. Construction soon began however and on November 28, 1974, Star Jets opened. When the park opened the space now occupied by Astro Orbiter and Tomorrowland Transit Authority was completely empty.

At this location: Tomorrowland wasn't quite ready for primetime when the park openedin 1971.

If large or tall, it may be very uncomfortable to ride with another adult or a large child. Weight and Size Issues: The rockets aren't the biggest things in the world, but should generally be comfortable if riding alone. At rest, the units are near ground level but it will be necessary to step up and then down into them.Īudio: Spoken instructions are given for loading and unloading, but no translation or captioning devices are available for this attraction. Wheelchair Transfer: It is necessary to transfer from a wheelchair or ECV into one of the rocket ride units. Ride Access: The queue is accessible to wheelchairs and ECVs.

A fear of heights may also be problematic. Health Restriction: People with heart problems should not ride. Queue Description: Not particularly themed, wrapped around the ride itself.

It isn't the most popular attraction in the park, however, and lines generally aren't too bad, rarely more than 30 minutes. Wait Times: As with most hub-and-spoke attractions, Astro Orbiter is low capacity (not many people per ride and it takes almost as long to load and unload the vehicle as it does to ride). Open/Close: Open and close with the park.
