Oh! My bad then.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Yep. Reopens August 15.

It was an unplanned closure.

Plot Twist: It's being rethemed into Buzz Lightyear's Flight.

It may have been damaged from a lightning strike that has affected the electrical components of the ride resulting in the ride operating in a way that isn't normal or safe.

I’m not sure why I am so scared to ride this. Too high up and too exposed I guess.

I rode it once when it was windy and the temperature was below freezing...I hid behind DW who was sitting in front of me for protection.

How do they dispatch coaster trains so quickly?! This is clearly fake news.

They haven't cut the staffing budget yet.

Astro Orbiter is a "must do" at night with all the lights on, dusk/sunset isn't bad either

I'm right there with ya. I'm not generally afraid of heights either...and as much as I want to, I just can't bring myself to ride this one.

Last year was probably the first time in 25 years that I rode this and it may be that long til the next ride. I had forgotten how much faster it was compared to Dumbo and the jerkiness of the rocket when you stop changing your height is vomit-inducing.

You’re a prince.

I rode it once many years ago. Never again. The way it tipped a bit sideways (while being so high up), made me feel like I could fall out of it!! I couldn't wait forthe ride to stop, so I could get out of there.
