Jetson's Jet Orbiters was a Junior Jets ride built by US manufacturer Allan Herschell Company that was previously located at Paramount's Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, USA.

History

The ride originally opened in 1960 at Coney Island. The ride had kangaroo-shaped vehicles. It closed with the park in 1971 and was relocated to the new Kings Island theme park in 1972.

The ride's kangaroo-shaped vehicles were replaced with helicopter-shaped units in the late 1970s.

The ride was renamed Jetson's Spaceport in 1992.^[1]

It was removed after the 2005 season to make way for Hanna-Barbera Land's merger with Nickelodeon Central into Nickelodeon Universe.^[2]
