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.

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 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.
