An early version of the Birnbaum Guide noted that the Starjets was " . . . purely and simply a thrill ride and ought to delight anyone who loves Space Mountain, but doesn't necessarily want to get in line all over again." The attraction evolved into the Astro Orbiter in 1994. This Pana-Vue slide was part of the Tomorrowland set and was identified as WDW-675. The caption simply said "Rocket Jets," which was in fact the name of the attraction's Disneyland counterpart.

Pana-Vue Slide: The Rocket Jets
An early version of the Birnbaum Guide noted that the Starjets was " . . . purely and simply a thrill ride and ought to delight anyone who loves Space Mountain, but doesn't necessarily want to get in line all over again."

One of the greatest elements of this slide, at least for me, are the Skyway gondolas in the background.
