Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Reopens at Magic Kingdom Today

The relaunch debuts handheld blasters with reactive scoring to overhaul the competitive shooter.

Overview

  • The reimagined attraction, which opened Wednesday, is running with standby and Lightning Lane entry shown in My Disney Experience.
  • Removable handheld blasters replace fixed cannons and add always-on lasers with vibration for more precise aim.
  • The game now delivers instant feedback through targets that flash green on a hit and vehicle screens with live scores and rankings.
  • A new pre-ride scene introduces Buddy, a support robot created by Imagineering and Pixar who gives a short tutorial before scoring begins.
  • Heavy demand is expected today with Spring Break crowds now that the soft-opening period without Lightning Lane has ended.
