Nope

But, was the elevator updated to a 21st century experience?


Also “nope.”

Any planet motion?!

You have to go to Paris to see that:

Astro Orbiter is back after its major rebuild. Glad this classic got this much love.

It may not be perfect, but Tomorrowland at night is still an awesome vibe with all of its kinetics. Disneyland’s is terrible in comparison.

You literally just posted that WDW is under a flood watch until 8pm tonight. Because of the previous issues, maybe they decided not worth the effort to open today with the incoming weather.

They dont really work like that. Nothing else is weather closed at WDW right now.

First the dumpster fire known as Tiana now this…after a 6+ month refurb, it lasts LESS than a month…I’d shake my head yet again, but I don’t want to go into concussion protocol for Disney…

That's not how it works. They don't keep attractions closed because of the threat of inclement weather.

It appears Astro Orbiter has reopened after the extended downtime over the past 3 days:

So basically walk on. Gone are the days where you'd be waiting 30+ minutes for this.

Listen, this is cutting edge technology here. A ride with vehicles that spins along a central spine? That’s extremely complex engineering. I think we all need to cut WDW some slack. This isn’t a meet & greet!

Wait, Mononthingie never exaggerates/overtates.
