AstroOrbiter Refurb 2019

[Kram Sacul]

I would like to say....
I'm a girl and rather enjoy riding the Astro Orbitor.


Hoping this refurb gets those planets spinning again.
I would like to see that little bit of kinetic energy back in motion.

-

As much as I don't like the placement of the Astro Oribitor the motion of the planets was at least neat to watch. When they turned them off it became just another spinner.

You lost bruh.

Nah I don’t think so... anyways I don’t care about winning or losing, it’s not a competition. I stand behind what I posted. But at this point it’s a dead conversation.

Anyone else think the design was based on that thing from The Dark Crystal? That movie was so boring.

I thought that same thing the moment I saw that part in Dark Crystal.

What is the Great Conjunction?

Disney should have built a Dark Crystal land.

Anyone know what is actually happening here?

It's getting refurbished?

I sure wish it was more substantial than just a cleaning of pieces and a fixing of mechanisms . But if that’s all there is to it, I guess we’ll have to wait longer for any New Tomorrowland tea leaves.

It looks better that way.

Why are there three signs announcing Tomorrowland at the entrance? Was there some confusion as to what the area is?

I’d be happy if they actually repaint the Astro Orbiter and replace the TL ‘98 colors with something more fitting with the rest of the silver/white Tomorrowland.

They did do that partially once, back for the 50th I think. The globes became silver, and the other colors more bold.

Someday we will see the last of Tony's greatest misstep.

If they figure out how to fix those spinning planets for good I will gladly deal with that bottleneck for another 5 years.

 

[JD2000]

the remaining gold color accents need to to go already.

 

[mickEblu]

I’d be ok if they just got rid of it and replaced it with an American flag.

It’s funny we all like the silver and white color scheme because it reminds us of TLs glory days (and it’s just more aesthetically appealing IMO). If that’s the case just give us a retro TL 67 and be done with it. It’s not like some “futuristic looking” city with Pixar IP that doesn’t belong will be any better.

TL can still look retro and be futuristic with new tech and attractions. That might be the ticket. Everything becomes “in fashion” again. So why can’t our view of the future? A people mover would still greatly benefit many cities as would a monorail. There’s a still a lot of space exploration to do so rocket ships are still relevant too.

and only misstep right? At DLR at least.
