Well this came out of the blue… should be good I guess?

I’ve always enjoyed the star command theme but those blasters needed to change. This seems like a great update.

The competitive player in me is disappointed that they’re giving people an always-on laser, feels like that’ll help everyone bump their score… but otherwise excited how it’ll turn out

Been waiting a long time for this!

These are some LONG overdue updates which address most (all?) of the complaints that many of us had! Good on Disney for this upgrade (though I guess with Mario Kart opening up down the street showing the latest and greatest tech for this type of ride, it likely put some pressure on Disney to finally do these upgrades). Eitherway, should improve the ride substantially!

Wooooooo!!!!!
Worst buzz is finally getting some love!
I was hoping for the Tokyo changeover but this is just as good! Awesome news

Wow. I'm shocked. Didn't see it going that way. Good to hear.

Are we reckoning end of August to ensure the summer crowds get one last go before temp shutdown? 28th rather than 8th?
S
These upgrades are all great and necessary and should have the ride better than it was, but I am Absolutely SHOCKED they are keeping the buzz lightyear theme and not retheming it.

List of changes (TLDR for the article):
Closing in August 2025 and will reopen in 2026
-New scene/New Character (basically a scene to "test" your blaster aim before the ride actually starts)
-New ride vehicle (includes video monitor to display score and other "exciting features")
-Handheld blasters (attached to the vehicle with a flexible cable instead of the old ones which were more or less mounted to the car and could only be rotated)
-Always on laser guide (in two different colors per car) to make it easier to see where you are aiming
-Haptic responses (lights/sounds/vibrations)
-Interactive Targets (targets will light up/react when hit)

↩ replying to jannerUKHere's hoping that Test Track is at least reopened before this goes down... otherwise we're in a situation where Test Track, Buzz, Tree of Life/Zootopia, BTMRR, and possibly TSI are all closed at the same time which is not ideal... (assuming RNRC and Dinosaurs are not also down).

Long overdue and much needed 👍🏻👍🏻

I'd rather this than Florida getting Wreck-It-Ralph.

With these updates, I guess the buzz theme is around for the long haul I guess.
Cool. Let’s make attractions getting updates a regular thing.
