As of 4 February 2019, Orbiter will not reopen for the 2019 season, this was confirmed by the park. One ride cycle is about 1 minute and 53 seconds. The rides braking system is activated and the ride comes to a complete stop by the time it reaches the ground. A few seconds later, the ride begins to descend back to the ground. After the ride lifts off the ground, the ride keeps rising eventually coming to an almost-vertical position. It can take about 20 to 25 seconds for the ride to reach its top speed and lift off of the ground. Once the ride operators give the all clear, the ride begins to spin in a circle constantly picking up speed. There is no seat belt or restraint system on the ride, only a cage to hold on to during the ride as when the ride is in operation, gravity will keep the rider in place. Riders take a seat in one of the 15 carriages which hold 2 riders each (for a total of 30 riders). This is where the riders sit when the ride is in operation. The fourth and final part are the carriages themselves. The third part(s) is / are the number of white metal supports that support the 15 carriages where riders sit. The wheel supports the structure of the ride. The second part is the centre red 'wheel' which is attached to the 'arm'.

The first part is the yellow 'arm' which supports the entire ride whether it is in operation or not. Orbiter is mainly made up of 4 different parts. I used my digital camera for this video which is why the quality is. On 4 February 2019, the attraction was fully dismantled and removed from the park. An onride/pov video of the Tivoli manufactured Orbiter at the 2009 New Jersey State Fair. Later on in the season, the ride began to be re-assembled and was re-opened to the public. That same year, it was announced that Cedar Fair would buy all Paramount Parks. This led many people to wonder if the ride would be demolished completely. During this closure period, several parts of the ride were dismantled including the ride carriages. The ride had been removed from the park map and was surrounded by signs stating ' Please excuse our appearance as we are preparing for your future enjoyment'. After 25 years in operation, Orbiter was closed during the 2006 operating season. In 2002, the ride's name was changed to what it is known as today, Orbiter. When Orbiter first opened in 1981, it was called Sol Loco and featured a Mexican theme. The ride last operated during the 2018 season and has been completely dismantled and removed as of February 2019. The ride closed in 2006 and was partially dismantled but was re-built and re-opened later that season following the sale of Paramount's amusement park chain to Cedar Fair. The ride opened in 1981 for the park's first operating season.
