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

How long of a refurb do we think this will be? 6 months? 9 months?

 

[ChrisFL]

it should take 9 days, but knowing Disney....

On what planet would they be able to get everything they’re doing done that quickly? I don’t disagree that Disney moves way too slow, but I do feel some maybe misunderstand how long this kind of work takes to do.

 

[ChrisFL]

I was being slightly facetious but it shouldn't take that long. They're just replacing vehicles and targets right?

It's Disney.. so they probably are installing small fusion generators in each scene to power it, and each target is actually being rewired with 24k gold wiring and wifi that won't actually work

It’s a little more involved than just that.

How long do you think it should take?

 

[ChrisFL]

way less than 6 to 9 months unless they actually are plussing the whole attraction

 

[flynnibus]

How long do you think it should take?

Depends, do they actually put more then 4 people working on tasks that need to be scaled?

You don't have any clue as to what they are actually doing and what the scope of work is but somehow think you can talk about how long it should take???

 

[ChrisFL]

What do you mean? They've literally announced what they're doing.

 

[MisterPenguin]

From the people mover, you can see the Z's in the targets lit up through the curtain.

This is the problem with these discussions. You have absolutely no idea what they are doing in there or how many people are working on it. You post hyperbole that has no basis in reality. You would be shocked at the number of people and the number of departments that are actively working on a project like this.

Do you honestly think they’ve told you everything that’s in the scope of work in a PR marketing release? They literally told you about the major guest facing changes that will be noticeable when it reopens. New guns, new targets, and the new scene aren’t even the catalyst for why this refurb is happening.

You'd be shocked at how people over react to a satirical reply to another satirical post...

But thanks for playing!

Yeah I was going to say aren't they constructing a whole new first scene as well? That certainly takes time.

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!

 

[HMF]

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?

Certainly could be.
