Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Overhaul Detailed in Disney Website Update

Overview

• Disney’s updated attraction page lists handheld blasters, more interactive targets, expanded scoring, and a new support-bot character named Buddy.
• The new handheld blasters feature always-on lasers, two laser colors per vehicle, and added lighting, sound, and vibration for clearer aiming and feedback.
• Redesigned Star Cruiser vehicles adopt Star Command styling and add onboard video monitors that display real-time scores.
• Guests and outlets report entrance-area pavement removal and signage work, a late-stage step that suggests the refurbishment is close to completion.
• The ride has been closed since August 2025 for a major refurbishment, with Disney targeting a spring 2026 return and no exact date announced.
