Is Astro Orbitor Kid-Friendly?

Disneyland’s Astro Orbitor is absolutely kid-friendly, and it should entertain (and thrill) both little ones and older guests. Even toddlers and preschoolers can get in on the fun here – they can be in charge of their own ride vehicle, with a parent’s help.

Tweens and teens who are more into thrills may not find the Astro Orbitor exciting, but with the height and movement in their hands, it can still offer whole-family fun.

Best For: Absolutely any age and any guest who loves to take flight.

Will Astro Orbitor Cause Motion Sickness?

Because the Astro Orbitor does fly in circles and offers the opportunity to lift and lower your individual ride vehicle via a lever, it can cause motion sickness for some guests. To reduce the odds of an upset stomach, it’s best to keep your hands off the lever and avoid frequent ups and downs.
