Re: Astro Orbitor Planets
You know, I rather like Astro Orbitor but I never go on it due to round bouts make me sick. I never noticed that the planets/orbs weren't spinning.
I'm one of the few who love the whole Jules Verne look to the New Tomorrowland. Miss you Rocket Rods <3

Re: Astro Orbitor Planets
I used to love watching them orbit around always waiting for them to hit one another (even though I knew they never would) They were somehow oddly hypnotizing.

Re: Astro Orbitor Planets
During the last refurb they fixed the mechanism that rotates the globes, but they didn't last more than a few months. At least the repaint looks better I suppose.

Re: Astro Orbitor Planets
I wonder if it will at all be possible to get the jets up on the platform in some form since the people mover is slated to never come back.

Anyone know if they have stopped working all together, or if I just went on a day where they didn't work?

Re: Astro Orbitor Planets
They have stopped working on all three versions of the attraction. The other two are in Paris and Hong Kong. It has been said that the attraction has to be partially disassembled to reach the mechanism.
