Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin at Disney World's Magic Kingdom will soon be getting some major updates! A new show scene, updated ride vehicles and gameplay enhancements will be coming to the Tomorrowland attraction. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin will temporarily close in August and reopen next year to make way for these updates.

Star cruisers will receive a face lift with a new design inspired by the colours of Buzz Lightyear and Star Command. Each enhanced vehicle will also now come equipped with video monitors that provide real-time scoring updates and other exciting features.

Each ride vehicle will now include handheld blasters for better aim, helping guests to score even more points. These new blasters will be perfect for our younger riders, allowing them to participate more in the experience.

And, if you've ever wondered where you're aiming (don't worry, you're not alone), these enhanced blasters will now include an always-on laser and come in two different colors per star cruiser, in addition to new lighting, sound and vibration effects, so players know where they're aiming throughout the mission.

The static Z targets found in the attraction today will be upgraded with new technology that will allow them to react and light up when hit. It also opens the door for a few other ideas Imagineers have in mind.
