Attractions

Stitch's Great Escape

Height Restriction: 40"
Use Fastpass Here
Ride Length: 15 minutes
At your first day as a prison guard at the Galactic Federation Prison Teleport Center, you are training to handle "level one" prisoners.  During training, a "level three" prisoner is captured.  As the "level three" prisoner, otherwise known as Stitch, tries to escape, help the other prison guards catch him.  While this attraction took the place of Alien Encounter, the interior of the ride looks almost identical.  Don't wait longer than 5 minutes for this mediocre attraction.  This ride might scare young children as there are long periods of total darkness.

Space Mountain

Height Restriction: 44"
Use Fastpass Here
Space Mountain is one of the most popular rides in the Magic Kingdom.  This roller coaster takes place indoors and in total darkness.  While more intense than Big Thunder Railroad, this ride isn't as bad as Rock 'n Roller Coaster.  Once near the front of the ride, visitors have the option of going right (slightly scarier) or left, each path leading to a slightly different coaster.  Tip - Sit in the front for a more intense ride. 


 
Astro Orbiter

Ride Length: about 2 minutes
The Astro Orbiter, while similar to the Dumbo ride, has some unique qualities.  Visitors must travel up an elevator to reach the top of the building in order to board the jets.  Once on board, riders circulate around a rocket and have the ability to make their jets go up and down.  This ride tends to have a long wait, so ride early in the morning.

Visitor Comments:  "The one ride our entire family had a great time riding. We rode it about four times in a row. The cars move continuously so don't let the line fool you. It moves. Young and old will love it." - Scott
