Walt Disney World Astro Orbiter HD-POV Magic Kingdom Florida

Check out this On-Ride POV of Astro Orbiter at Magic Kingdom (WDW) Florida.
The Astro Orbiter is a rocket-spinner attraction featured at all five Magic Kingdom-style parks at Walt Disney Resorts around the world. Although each ride may have a different name, all share the same premise of rockets spinning around a central monument. As each form of the attraction appeared, new designs and locations have been implemented to fit with changing schemes of several Tomorrowlands.
No form of the attraction existed in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World until 1974, three years after the park's opening, when Tomorrowland underwent a massive expansion including the creation of Space Mountain, a new location for the Disneyland-attraction, Carousel of Progress, and the WEDWay PeopleMover. Star Jets was considered the focal point of Tomorrowland due to its soaring, spinning rockets and central location.
This version of the attraction was based on the Disneyland version, in both location (on top of the PeopleMover platform) and in style (both feature a large Saturn V rocket). However the attraction vehicles were different than any other previous form as they were much larger and featured a flatter back-end and larger tail fins. Each of the 12 open-air vehicles was attached to the central axis by a 20 foot arm. The vehicles held up to two passengers who circled round and round, 80 feet above the ground, while controlling their ascent and descent with a metal control stick.
In 1994, the attraction was re-designed and re-opened as the Astro Orbiter, part of the complete renovation of the park's Tomorrowland section. The attraction featured a highly stylized iron-work tower in lieu of the center rocket along with various planets on the outside of the attraction as to appear as if the rockets were weaving between the planets. The ride at the Magic Kingdom does 11 rotations per minute and averages 1.2 million miles a year. In the narration for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, the ride is referenced as the "League of Planets Astro Orbiter."

Here's a tip if you are going to ride it: Ride it at evening so you can have a beautiful view of the castle and the sunset

[@Muffinlover22]

This guys life must be so fun. And here I am

[@GoPlayMW2OrSomething]

Ive never been on this ride and I've been to Disneyworld 14 times, everytime I go to Magic Kingdom I tell myself i'm gonna go on this ride, until I see the extremely long and slow moving line.

[@sphric6337]

When I went on this ride when we were up in the air a little bit the fireworks went off! It was truly magical.

[@minnesotarox18]

I love how during seatbelt check the disney workers hardly even glance at you :)

[@adamlambertRULES99]

i got so annoyed cuz wen i went 2 disney i went 4 my bday and this girl on the line got the whole line to sing happy birthday to her and i was like 7 so i screamed HEY YOU KNOW ITS MY BIRFDAY TO NOT JUST PRETTY PRINCESS OVER THERE! and her mom got really mad at me lolz

[@ShyButterflyMist]

I'll never forget the day my aunt was shaking and telling my dad and I she was scared to death on this ride.

[@Hieagandaus]

Went on once in my life,the lines are always 45-60 minute wait time.The one time was just at dusk/night and it was a disney ''memory that I will remember for a life time''.

[@emokitty523]

Stop it at 0:09!! DO YOU SEE THAT KID ON RIGHT!?!? How badass is he?!

[@Dave-uniquenamehere]

As much as i like the idea of going around all the theme parks going on all the rides, I don't want to as it would kill the excitement of going as it would become boring. I'm looking forward to going next year and feel a bit of excitemnt sitting here thinking about it while watching these videos. I dont wanna kill that excitement,

[@velvetravyn]

The guy in front is having the time of his life. :D

[@Andrew_B89]

[@justin6598]

[@therealjustlegalizit]

Freaking emo assassin at the end there

[@jinpayne]

This is one of the few rides where this version is better than DL because it is higher up.

[@brock1623]

I SUBSCRIBED I LOVE UR CHANNEL!

[@jlauer3747]

I love this ride. It holds so much nostalgia for me. I can’t ride it anymore, however. Last time I rode it I was dizzy as hell and I could not get my footing when the ride was over. Had to sit in that damn rocket for a minute or so, so I wouldn’t puke or fall when I got out. I get sick on the Mission to Mars at Epcot as well. ☹️☹️

[@QuentrixMovies]

my family had to wait over an hour for this ride and when we finally got on it started to rain! like really!?

[@skimasker3049]

That's Florida in a nutshell.

[@joo511]

I fly above the galaxies Thanks Creative Video

[@vinyl-vermin]

[@kowaiharouin5196]

[@msx500]

lol at the guy infront during the ride

[@lauczen]

Omg that is high

[@shaqman145]

This ride is fun, but only when you move your rocket as high as it goes. But I really don't like it since its the only spinning flat ride that makes me sick.

[@PriLuna2012]

I just gotta ask two things. 1. What is your favourite ride at WDW? 2. Have you ever been to, or even heard of, Kennywood in Pennsylvania?

[@Chocobo-vm9jj]

I remember the last time i was in this ride the seatbelt wasn’t very tight (since my sister was in the front and i was behind her) I was slipping off to the side of the rocket and thought i would fall off. Luckily i didn’t

[@QuentrixMovies]

@Bleak2954 i know eh? space mountain is like this, but on training wheels

[@madvilliann]

This ride was cool but I don't know why I was scared

[@Skeeball22]

Can you record Astro Orbitor at DL also?

[@chrisdowling1997]

Been on this :D

[@itsjustkeria]

This ride isnt scary they have a switch inside of it so you can go higher or lower

[@cheyO4]

Scariest ride everr.. Lololol

[@CapysGardenShop]

I went on this in DL. I am not into rides & so this one freaked me out a bit. :O (i know, I know) My 3 yr old was sitting w/ me & he had the thing in 'high' mode the whole time. I was too afraid of the dropping feeling, so I just prayed he wouldn't move the lever. Some teen boy was acting like he was throwing up prior to my turn & I reported it & they stopped the ride. What a dumbass. He was throwing himself all around like a lunatic & leaning over the side & yelling "i am gonna throw up!!"

[@MEGNDIAalltheway]

Anyone know how long the wait usually is for this ride in Disneyworld, not Disneyland. My brother cannot wait to go on it.

[@vmtaglepilipinas]

the cool guy in 4:46 must be dizzy or somethin' like that

[@Frankfurtdabezzzt]

damn i think i missed the coaster in this video

[@InvisiblePreson13]

Is this ride like the dumbo ride? I`ve never been on it. :p

[@brandonisawesome11]

@Bleak2954 really?are you serious?

[@vmtaglepilipinas]

Did you reach the highest point?

[@QuentrixMovies]

i remember when my family went on this one time it started to rain as we got on and when we got off my parents were so mad after we waited for an hour to go on this....

[@LJ23DW03]

@InvisiblePreson13 same basic thing.. just "better" because your higher up

[@Cooketaa]

i remember this ,first i was like , yeah easy peasy , but when this starts to go up ,the shit get's real it was fucking scary.

[@coolbnickimanaj]

[@reynielbest282]

He probably uses a small camera like a GoPro and he has a strap so it won't be flying off

[@VulpisFoxfire]

It's the Dumbo rockets!

[@Renegado140]

@srgamer1 lol Im kidding, i rode it haha but yes X2 is amazing

[@sophiehanssel2017]

I've always wanted to go on this ride. Too bad I didn't go on it on my trip to Disney 10 years ago. I hope to ride this someday

[@CEO458]

LOL GUY IN FRONT WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO

[@JessehhKidd]

Sounds like Goofy came on the ride :)

[@Watzo7]

@Mteigers you don't have to be rich to go to all of these theme parks, he could be in thousands of dollars in debt and still be doing this.

[@mychannelbyellie]

I think I went on this when I was little...

[@tasmsgfedits]

When I was 6 I went on this with my mom, and I saw a kid and I thought he was Elliot from e.t. This was like 2013/2014 and I kept pointing at him and talking loudly. He probably thought I was psycho

[@Minecraftguy66]

I would totally be the guy at 3:49
