Disney Fixes Our Biggest Complaint Aboard Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

Disney has finally listened to us and addressed our biggest complaint about Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. What do you think of this change?

Buzz Lightyear's Attraction Closed

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.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin Reopening

Along with the addition of a new character, the ride vehicles will receive a huge overhaul with video monitors and handheld blasters.

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

Disney announced that Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin will reopen in the Spring of 2026! You can view the new description for this attraction HERE.

Big Change for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

When Guests hop aboard Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, the Green Aliens will open the airlock so we can pass into space.

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin reopens "Spring 2026".

Now, Disney Imagineers have added magic to the tunnel that Guests pass through. Zurg will now clearly be seen releasing space mines that you can fire at and earn more points. The best part, Buzz Lightyear will join you in this battle.
