Does anyone on here know the approximate speed that you are spinning on Dumbo at Magic Kingdom?

Flying Fast on Dumbo
- Thread starter DisneyDefenders
- Start date
Going to Google Earth Pro, I measure the radius of Dumbo to be 26'. That puts the circumference at 163.36'.
Going to YouTube videos, I measure that a Dumbo vehicle makes a revolution in 13 secs. So, that's 12.566'/sec.
That's 8.6 mph / 13.8 kph.

It always seems as if Astro Orbiter goes faster. Maybe it is because you are higher in the first place. But yeah, 9mph isn't fast, but it isn't a turtle's pace either on that small of a circle.

Make it the adult variety!Give this man a Dole Whip!
When you kid says he/she will never use math as an adult, we now have a great example of how useful it is!
Yeah, you're pulling almost 0.2 Gs!!!!

How fast is Astro Orbiter? I am genuinely scared on that right, the only one at WDW I feel that way.

I say this with the utmost respect......”Nerd alert”!
Going to Google Earth Pro, I measure the radius of Astro Orbiter to be 21'. That puts the circumference at 131.95'.
Going to YouTube videos, I measure that a Astro Orbiter vehicle makes a revolution in 6.3 secs. So, that's 20.94'/sec.
That's 14.2 mph / 23 kph.
That's pulling .65 Gs.
So, yes, it's faster and more thrilling, and not just because of height.

This...And...I'm in a place where this I should not even CARE of..
As long as there are people around like @MisterPenguin , I don't need to do math...See, you actually CAN use the math taught in school later in life!
It's lonely being the only American who can do simple math.

LOL! The difference for me is I can do math, but I'm just extremely lazy! All I do is math at my job.It's lonely being the only American who can do simple math.
