I went in Astro Orbiter for the first time in YEARS (I’m 21now) and it was so much fun. I will never skip this ride again. Not going to lie, it’s so much scarier than I remember it being simply because of how high up in the air you are. The views were incredible and the ride really is really a good time. I wouldn’t wait more than 30 minutes for it, but I really did enjoy this one after about 10 years of skipping it.

Pros:

Great views. Height creates a thrill. Dumbo for adults.

Cons:

Probably not ideal for people afraid of heights.

Great to ride at night or if the line is short. If the line is too long, move on to Dumbo. If you don't like heights, stay away. Still fun.

Pros:

Great views.

Cons:

Long lines.

SPACE DUMBO! Definitely not a must do attraction, but that being said do yourself a favor and ride this at night. If you are able to time it with the fireworks even better. You will be able to see the lights from the park as well as contemporary and poly from here.

Pros:

Fun, and truly magical at night

Cons:

Similar to Dumbo, not really worth longer than a 15 minute wait

If the park is not crowded and you can get on in less than 10 minutes then go for it. Otherwise this would be a easy choice to skip. Nice ride with good views but there are more unique rides to be sure to get on before this

Pros:

Views

Cons:

Small ride capacity creates longer waits if park is crowded

I like Astro Orbiter more than Dumbo, I know, crazy. But it has an amazing view of Tomorrowland and is fun for kids and adults.

Pros:

Great view of Tomorrowland, Fun for everyone.

Cons:

Can cause Motion Sickness, Small seats, can BARELY fit two adults.

Amazing views, but my wife and I almost got stuck in a rocket ship together. Definitely worth bringing a kid so they can soar, but the long line is usually not worth the wait to get up there.

Pros:

Breathtaking view of the Magic Kingdom. One of the only rides in Tomorrowland that feels fitting to the land. The ride looks great for pictures, both from ground level and up in the sky.

Cons:

Longer waits for a short experience in cramped, tiny ride vehicles. Just go to Dumbo.

I can see how this would be enjoyable for a child, but I certainly would not wait in the constant long line for this when the options for the same type of ride (Dumbo and Magic Carpets) are much easier to get on/and or way more fun of a queue. The elevator to ride up (pre-COVID) was jammed pack full of people and it was not the most reassuring ride of an elevator otherwise as it seemed quite dated. The rocket was cramped and uncomfortable. Though the view was good, I'd board the Peoplemover any day over this. It's understandable if you have a kid that loves rockets, but otherwise look elsewhere in Tomorrowland for much better attractions for young and old.

Pros:

Attractive "weenie" for Tomorrowland

Cons:

Long lines, cramped elevator and rocket, other choices in same style that are classic and easier to get on
