Observatron/Astro-Orbitor



The Astro-Orbitor (formerly known as the "Rocket Jets") would cost more to move than to build anew, so they're rebuilding it. Instead of waste the old Rocket Jets platform, they built the Observatron. Every fifteen minutes, it'll go off, doing a big sound/light show. Regarding the Astro-Orbitor, Bruce commented: "We're moving the Astro-Orbitor out to the front of Tomorrowland, right on top of Main Street...you know, right where it belongs...(rolls eyes)." This drew a huge laugh from everyone and made it quite clear that it isn't Imagineering placing the out on the hub, where general opinion is that it will mess up the hub's theme. Speculation about who is to blame is rampant, of course.
