Disney Advances Rebuild of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Entrance at Magic Kingdom

Overview

• Crews are installing infrastructure for a new marquee after removing the longstanding entrance and excavating the approach, as seen from the PeopleMover.
• The scope of work indicates a full entrance rebuild rather than minor repairs, and Disney has not revealed the new entrance design.
• The refurbishment will add handheld blasters with always-on lasers, two colors per vehicle, and new lighting, sound, and vibration feedback to improve aim.
• Interactive gameplay is being modernized with reactive light-up targets and redesigned Star Cruisers that feature onboard screens for real-time scoring.
• A new opening scene will introduce Buddy, a support-bot character who prepares guests for their mission.
