Overview
- Painters were observed working on Tomorrowland’s faux rock formations near Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, using reference images to guide the finish.
- The rock repainting restarts a project that stalled in 2023, following the last full repaint in 2016 that introduced the blue-gray color scheme.
- Coverage links the timing to the recently drained Magic Kingdom moat, which has improved access as crews also prepare to repaint Cinderella Castle.
- Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin remains closed as its entrance is rebuilt, with the long-standing marquee removed and pavement excavated for new infrastructure.
- Planned ride updates include handheld blasters with always-on lasers and haptics, reactive targets, vehicle displays with real-time scoring, and a new opening scene featuring a support-bot named Buddy, with no reopening date announced.
