Magic Kingdom is BUSY right now, y’all. Not only is Disney busy building a Cars expansion in Frontierland and a new Villains land behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (which is getting a big update), but Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland has also been getting a MASSIVE upgrade.

Disney recently revealed that Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin would reopen on April 8th, but ahead of that, there will be early previews of the newly updated ride. Well, Disney has confirmed the first round of previews will begin VERY SOON for Cast Members.
Cast Members will have a chance to check out the new version of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin on March 21st through 27th. If you’re a Cast Member, you’ll be among the first to see the new updates that have been added to the ride, including the brand-new ride vehicles.
New ride vehicle!
These new ride vehicles will also have removable blasters, so aiming at targets during the ride should be a lot easier…and more fun. You’ll even get a brand new UPDATED ride photo, which is like a GAZILLION times better than the previous ride photo.

The ride also has a new scene with a brand new character, Buddy, a robot who will help prepare you for your mission. Buddy will show riders how to use some of the ride’s new interactive features before they start making their way into deep space to take on Zurg. Interactive targets will also react when hit, so no more guessing if you actually hit a target or not!

The hyperspace scene has also been updated with Buzz Lightyear himself. In this scene, Zurg is now releasing a bunch of space mines, and you can earn points by shooting them.
If you’re not a Cast Member and you can’t wait to ride the new version of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin yourself, you’ll be able to do so on April 8th, when the ride officially reopens to the public. It’s possible that Disney will also announce Annual Passholder and Disney Vacation Club previews for this ride, but as of now, no announcements have been made.
We’ll keep an eye out for more big Disney news, so stay tuned to Magical Guides for more.
What do you think of the updated ride so far, based on what we know? Let us know in the comments!
