The introductory attraction for Tomorrowland is this ride in a rocket: the Astro Orbiter.
It is an extraordinary sight, visible from very far away. The ride itself is similar to Dumbo the flying elephant ride. One or two riders get into a little rocket and fly around a central axis. Riders can control the altitude of their own rockets.
The line starts here. For some reason the line was super short when I took this photo.

I think there are 12 rockets.
A bubbling pond lays between the Astro Orbiter and Pixie Hollow.

I can't remember him saying anything.
He did have a blaster though.

Tomorrowland Sphere sign.
There are four spheres on posts which encircle the Astro Orbiter.
I love these stony outcroppings which define the border of this Tomorrowland border.
These are unique to Disneyland, I think. I'd love to know who thought these up.
I guess these giant mineral deposits are reminiscent of Giant's Causeway in Scotland, but GOLD!
