Is not the closure expensive?
When the ride is open, I anxiously wait inline even slightly due to the staff sharing concern with me. Once and when on top, I feel rushed to make my way to select. I am excited but then become scared in the high orbit due to the over tilt.
The hydraulics badly creak. The ride slightly jolts while it should be smoothly going up and down. Thankfully, I can feel like I am slightly holding on tight due to the provided handle while also tucking my feet together and keeping them deep in the ship. I slightly choose to slightly comfortably duck. Later, I get scared looking forward and unfortunately down that I need to choose to glance over to see the park. I wish a little boy would choose to resituate the space ships and smooth the hydraulics. 🚀 ✨ 🛗

I ove starting my day at Magic Kingdom with a flight on the Astro Orbiter. There's no Lightning Lane for this and it's a VERY slow loading ride so it's best to do it first or last thing during the day!
