Astro Orbiter

How many of you thought when you first saw the Astro Orbiter that it was just a really neat futuristic display? I am sure that I am not the only one but I had no idea that it was actually a ride when I first saw it. I remember the first time I noticed that it was a ride I was on the Transit Authority taking pictures of all the stuff around and I noticed there were people on the Astro Orbiter. After we got off the Transit Authority we went over to the Astro Orbiter and checked it out. You head up on an elevator and you can see Magic Kingdom from a new perspective. As you are up in the air spinning around you can control your rocket ship (like Dumbo). Now I would like to say that I am a big fan but … well you all know how I am with rides! I do like taking pictures of it. The one above is from one ride I can stand to go around and around on… the Transit Authority. I have to admit although I am not that big of fan of actually riding it I do think of it as the icon of Tomorrowland.
