I believe with the current rethemeing we are seeing within Disneyland's tomorrowland and even Disney worlds (Although I dont believe they will redo Disney worlds astro orbitor because it could just have a small repaint it could fit with in the classic theme they are doing) I believe we may see Disneylands astro orbiter removed to make more room at the entrance and put back ontop of the peoplemover,
(However not the current astro orbiter as it would be too heavy which was the main reason it was put infront of the people mover tracks in the first place.)
I believe they could remove the old rocket jets ride which is now the old non functional observatron and place the recently removed Star jets from Tokyo Disneyland on top in its place. Perhaps with an updated central rocket design but the same ride none the less as the 1998 retheme of tomorrowland is clearly being done away with, It only makes sence to revert back to a theme that did and does work today as with what we are seeing happen today at both Tomorrowlands. As both are now going to a clean white scheme as to what we saw in the 60’s and 70’s, So having a gold astro orbitor at an already condenced entrance wouldnt make sence. However taking taking down the old observatron and placing star jets in its place is a touching tribute and would also work better with the theme aswell as the overall experience of the ride as you then have that feeling of being high in the air as opposed to only a few feet up off the ground like the current ride experience.
Excellent idea! And as Space X has shown, traditional rocketry is not dead.
