The major overhaul for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom was announced earlier this year. The attraction is closed as of August 4 and will reopen sometime in 2026. Updates to the attraction will include a new scene featuring a new character, Buddy the support-bot; new ride vehicles inspired by Star Command with video monitors offering real-time scoring and “other exciting features;” new blasters with an always-on laser, new colors, and new light, sound, and haptics; and updated targets.
