Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new Notice of Commencement for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom. The project involves installing new projectors, with longtime Disney partner Maddox Electric handling the work.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is a classic interactive dark ride located in Tomorrowland. Guests board ride vehicles equipped with laser blasters and compete to score points by shooting at targets inspired by Buzz Lightyear’s intergalactic battles against the villainous Emperor Zurg. The ride’s storyline casts guests as Junior Space Rangers on a mission to help Buzz defeat Zurg and save the galaxy. A scoreboard on each ride vehicle adds a competitive element, encouraging repeat rides to improve scores. The ride includes physical set pieces and a room full of projected images.
It’s not yet clear if the ride will need to close during the work or if it will be done during overnight maintenance.
