It is likely this refurbishment will include routine maintenance that Disney conducts on its rides from time to time to keep them working smoothly and properly.

Astro Orbiter is a ride that takes you way up in the sky; you may feel like you’re blasting off into outer space. It’s a family-friendly ride that people of all ages enjoy. However, if you’re looking for some fun in Tomorrowland while it’s closed, you’ll want to check out the PeopleMover, Space Mountain, TRON Lightcycle / Run, Tomorrowland Speedway, or Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin.
