NEWS: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin Reopening Timeline Revealed

Disney has shared the timeline of when we can expect Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin to reopen. Get the details!

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Located in the heart of Tomorrowland, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin gives you the chance to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg. The attraction is currently closed for a major refurbishment!

Big changes are coming to this attraction. There will be a new show scene that will introduce characters to a new character, "Buddy." This new character created by Walt Disney Imagineering and Pixar Animation Studios will help to play a key role on the star command team.

New Ride Vehicle

Along with the addition of a new character, the ride vehicles will receive a huge overhaul with video monitors and handheld blasters. What we are most excited for is that the once static Z targets throughout the attraction will also be upgraded. Read all about these updates HERE.

These new vehicles will feature hand held blasters and video monitors with real-time scoring (unlimited high scores!).

You can get a look at these new ride vehicles HERE.
