Magic Kingdom Attraction Reopens After Multi-Month Closure

It's a big day for this one Magic Kingdom attraction, as it has finally reopened after a multi-month closure. Find out which ride you can enjoy again!

Astro Orbiter

Astro Orbiter is located in Tomorrowland at Disney's Magic Kingdom Park. It is a Dumbo-style spinner attraction that will whisk you high into the sky. The person in the front controls how high or low you fly.

Astor Orbiter offers a great way to get views of the castle and Tomorrowland!

The attraction closed for a multi-month refurbishment on January 13, 2025, with only a reopening date of summer 2025.

Ride Testing

Earlier this week, we shared that the Astro Orbiter was performing ride testing. We were very excited when we heard this news as it meant the ride was getting closure to welcoming back Guests. You can read about the announcement HERE.

Even with ride testing being performed, Disney never announced an official opening date.

Back Open!

Today, Friday, June 27th, Astro Orbiter has reopened! This is exciting news as Guests can fly high once again above Tomorrowland.

Astro Orbiter has reopened after a more than five-month closure.

Astro Orbiter had more than a five-month closure for refurbishment. Disney almost completely dismantled the attraction for this refurbishment. Each piece that was removed was repainted and then reinstalled. You can see in the picture below how Disney had dismantled the attraction.

We are excited to see this attraction reopen today, especially for those that have this attraction on the ir must-do list!
