Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is set to reopen in Spring 2026:
Across Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland, I’m ready to take on Evil Emperor Zurg with the help of updated ride vehicles, cool new handheld blasters, and interactive targets at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and guests of all ages won’t need to wait too long to try for that Galactic Hero rank, because the attraction reopens spring 2026!

I still think it should have been replaced but I know under this regime it would probably be replaced with something worse so I guess so be it.

What are the chances this could be open in April?

Are we expecting the original 1998 George Wilkins soundtrack to remain intact, or are they completely redoing the entire soundtrack?

↩ replying to Theme Park NerdoI would expect them to keep the original as much as possible. I know because of these changes that this attraction is going to be around a few more years despite its redundancy with the existence of Midway Mania but I am looking forward to the day when a new WDI management team that isn't afraid of original futuristic ideas is let loose on Tomorrowland as unlikely as that may be.

↩ replying to HMFIt’s not up to the WDI management team. WDI isn’t afraid of original ideas. But they are not the ones that decide what gets designed and built.

↩ replying to jah4955The new targets have been visible for a few weeks now. Looks like the Planet Z room isn’t changing much.

↩ replying to jah4955One of these days I should post a full analysis on everything in Space Ranger Spin that came from Delta Dreamflight - a ton of this room especially is reused.
Examples: the dinosaur-looking creature to the left of the volcano that raises its arm is a reuse of the farmer pointing up at the barn from the first Dreamflight scene.
Similarly, the elephant in Space Ranger Spin that turns its head and raises its brain is a reuse of the cow next to that farmer. The cow turned its head and a question mark raised up. The chickens are definitely the most blatant reuse, but there’s way more than that!
