MK New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Updates Coming to Walt Disney World

[James Alucobond]

I agree Buzz should've been rethemed by now, but I'd rather see the money spent elsewhere in Tomorrowland

My order of priority would be something like
Stitch
Speedway
MILF
CoP
Buzz

Although I'd be happy with any meaningful investment in TL

Not an attraction, but Cosmic Ray's is in need of attention too given how much of the quick service load it is supposed to absorb.

I want every building in Tomorrowland to have A+ attractions.

Listen. This may be a hot take. I dk how you “define” what an A+ attraction is and i get Buzz is not an E ticket obviously but its in best shape to me Buzz checks a ton of boxes as ive already stated earlier & to me is a perfect ride A+? Maybe not but a solid B+/A-

I really hope they redo the marquee, make it more streamlined and modern to fit in better with the rest of the land. Something similar to what they did with the Laugh Floor sign.

Just because the sign fits the land better doesn't make the attraction fit the land better.

I hope they redo the queue so that the interior isn’t mostly wasted space for Lightning Lane anymore.

This is NOT a hot take. Not everything needs to be or should be an E. They need C/D attractions to eat people and provide a variety of experiences. However the problem is they seem to only want to build E tickets anymore.

I just hope they wash the queue!

I hope they wash the people in the queue!

I hope they redo the outside… it’s so tacky

- First night Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is down

- Giant thunderstorm knocks out the nighttime parade

Coincidence?

I personally would say that Buzz is way below the standard of what I expect from that kind of experience. I know what it's going for, but the space could be far better utilized. It just screams value-engineering. Hopefully this refurb will address a lot of the issues. I don't think they will, but we'll see.

The parks and lands absolutely do not need everything to be an E. In fact, I get more charm and enjoyment out of C/D attractions. I just think a ride like Buzz should be aesthetically more interesting than the late-90's cardboard mess it is.

All they're doing is replacing the guns, replacing the targets, and adding one figure (whose complexity of motion will likely be small). It has more issues than will be addressed by this refurb.

There’s a little more to it than that. In fact none of what you list is actually the reason the attraction is closing.

Sure, but the ISSUES the ride has in terms of the way it makes use of the space...none of that is going to change, as far as I can tell.

If the building is moldy or something, I would hope that would be addressed too.

Probably a ship of theseus thing but the skeleton of that ride is one of the few things in the park largely undisturbed over the last 50 years. The ride might be on its 5th/6th version but it’s still the same bones. It persists because it punches above its weight for guest satisfaction vs operating cost. The resort would be in a better place if it had more things like it.

Are you at liberty to share the real reason the attraction is closing?

I thought the same thing (again) when I saw that picture.

 

[eddie104]

Finally it’s closed.

Can’t wait to see the outcome of this refurbishment and see how everything comes together to plus’s up this attraction.

It basically makes use of the space the same way the space has been used since 1971.

Mold is not the reason for the closure

Let me quess. The ride control system is EOL and has to be replaced?
