Take a full 4K60 POV ride on Astro Orbiter at sunset, soaring high above Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World! Experience the complete spinning rocket ride as the setting sun transforms the sky and the sights, sounds, and attractions of Tomorrowland pass far below. Astro Orbiter is one of the most recognizable attractions in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland. Before boarding, guests take an elevator to the elevated loading platform above the PeopleMover station. Each retro-inspired, two-passenger rocket circles a central galaxy of planets, while a lever inside the spacecraft allows riders to control how high or low they fly.
This immersive first-person POV captures the entire Astro Orbiter ride experience during sunset in 2026. It is designed for Disney fans planning a Walt Disney World vacation, anyone curious about what the attraction is like, and viewers who want to relax and revisit the atmosphere of Magic Kingdom from home.

ASTRO ORBITER AROUND THE WORLD: PARK-BY-PARK HISTORY
Disney’s spinning rocket attractions have appeared in several forms around the world. Each lets guests circle above a futuristic land while controlling the height of their spacecraft, but every park gives the experience its own theme and design.
MAGIC KINGDOM — ASTRO ORBITER
Magic Kingdom’s attraction opened in Tomorrowland as Star Jets on November 28, 1974. Its elevated location above the WEDway PeopleMover station offered sweeping views of the park. During Tomorrowland’s 1994 transformation, it was redesigned as Astro Orbiter with retro-futuristic rockets circling a colorful tower and moving planets. This is the version featured in this full 4K60 sunset POV. Guests still reach the elevated loading platform by elevator, preserving one of the attraction’s most distinctive features.
DISNEYLAND PARK IN CALIFORNIA — ASTRO ORBITOR
Disneyland introduced the original Disney spinning rocket ride as Astro-Jets on March 24, 1956. Renamed Tomorrowland Jets in 1964, it was replaced by the elevated Rocket Jets in 1967. Rocket Jets operated above the PeopleMover platform until 1997. Rocket Jets opened July 2, 1967, and closed January 6, 1997. The current Astro Orbitor—spelled with an “o”—opened May 22, 1998, with a planetary design inspired by Disneyland Paris.
DISNEYLAND PARIS — ORBITRON
Orbitron, originally called Orbitron, Machines Volantes, opened with Disneyland Paris on April 12, 1992. Located in Discoveryland, it imagines how Renaissance inventors might have envisioned space travel. Its detailed planetary machinery was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings and early astronomical instruments, and later influenced Disneyland’s current Astro Orbitor.
HONG KONG DISNEYLAND — ORBITRON
Hong Kong Disneyland’s Orbitron opened September 12, 2005. Inspired by the Paris version, it places riders among a moving display of orbiting planets. Guests pilot futuristic flying saucers rather than traditional rockets and control how high they travel while circling above Tomorrowland.
SHANGHAI DISNEYLAND — JET PACKS
Jet Packs opened with Shanghai Disneyland on June 16, 2016, as a modern interpretation of Disney’s classic spinning aerial ride. Guests board futuristic jet-pack vehicles attached to a large central energy sphere by mechanical arms. Hand controls let riders adjust their elevation while flying above Tomorrowland. Its 16 arms create a noticeably different silhouette from the earlier rocket rides while moving.
FORMER DISNEY PARK VERSION: TOKYO DISNEYLAND — STARJETS
Tokyo Disneyland’s StarJets opened with the park on April 15, 1983. Inspired by Magic Kingdom’s original Star Jets, its rockets circled high above Tomorrowland for more than 34 years. The attraction permanently closed on October 10, 2017, and the area was later redeveloped for The Happy Ride with Baymax.
