News Astro Orbiter Problems?

[Surfin' Tuna]

People tend to forget that a lot of the equipment in the MK is OLD. I believe this ride is approaching 50 years old.

Am I getting so old as to forget things? I thought the planets were added as part of the 1994 re-do.

Is there a great reason for this, or is it just that it seems to be some sort of maintenance nightmare?

Work that takes place in a contained space over a certain height requires much more built in fall protection than was originally required in the nineties. This is why we saw railings installed all over buildings in the last five years.

You are correct... Prior to that it was just the spinner. The Planets really ad a lot....Wonder how they are going to look painted white with orange and pink triangles...lol

No, and likely never will again

Why? That’s bad show. And Astro Orbiter has been taken down and rebuilt often lately, so why?
