Astro Orbiter Reopens at the Magic Kingdom: Tomorrowland’s Celestial Symbol of Interplanetary Harmony and Fellowship
Magic Kingdom guests can once again take an exhilarating spin around the planets.
After being closed since January for an extensive refurbishment, the Astro Orbiter is once again blasting Tomorrowland visitors into the galaxy.
What’s Happening:
- The Dumbo-style attraction, which sits high above Tomorrowland, has been closed for refurbishment at the Magic Kingdom since January 13th, 2025
- The entire attraction, including most of its theming elements, were completely removed.
- Last month, the park began reinstalling the attraction, and within a few weeks, the rockets had returned.
- As of Friday, June 27th, the Astro Orbiter has reopened looking better than ever – once again taking Tomorrowland guests on an exhilarating spin around the planets.
- A small change has been made to the attraction underneath the Astro Orbiter, as the turnstiles have been removed at the entrance to the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover.
- Across the way, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will be closing for a lengthy refurbishment of its own in August, as the attraction gets ready for some notable and long desired overhauls.
