This ride needs some downtime for serious TLC. Queue needs a refresh, ride vehicles need an overhaul, it's quite possible the targets need cleaning or recalibration, improved projectors...

I hope if it is more than updates (complete overhaul...I know not likely) we are given enough notice. This ride is a family favorite as it brings back a lot of memories from when it was my then 2-year olds favorite ride during our first trip.

This is just lipstick on a VERY filthy pig if it doesn't include a proper refurbishment. Not even kidding when I say that this ride is THE most disgusting attraction on property. Hell, probably the nastiest Disney attraction in the world. This ride has been a gigantic mold colony for at LEAST 15+ years now. It's very noticeable under the UV black lights (which illuminates many species of mold, producing glowing spots). But when the work lights come on....woof. Whole place looks like a Jackson Pollock painting if he went through a goth phase...
I don't know how long it has been this way. I first rode it in 2010 and it was apparent that the show building had a badly leaking roof at some point due to severely water damaged and molded ceilings and walls, scenery had been hit as well. The Peoplemoved tunnel was impacted too, with severely damaged ceilings. I assume they have fixed the leak at least, the ceiling of the Peoplemover tunnel was also repaired. But Buzz's damage has never really been addressed.
The whole interior needs to be deeply scrubbed down at the bare minimum, with bleach or whatever is necessary. Walls, floors, props etc. Wherever the damage is too extensive for cleaning along, rip out drywall and ceiling tiles and replace it. Ceiling tiles probably just need to be ripped out and replaced outright. They're going to have to repaint everything anyway.

The last two times I went in (around a month apart) the animatronic in the queue was completely covered. So, sounds like a great time to upgrade him to me!

This needs an extensive refurbishment. Should probably be burned first to remove the mold, bacteria, and viral particles.

How is this not closed? Represented in Hollywood Studios already, it’s a dinosaur pre-technology, doesn’t make sense in Tomorrowland. Close and replace.
Because money.
Space Mountain is just as bad with the work lights on. The entire land needs a thorough rehab.

Doesn’t breathing in mold cause a number of health issues? If it’s as bad as people are saying then it’s a serious danger to guests and cast members. You’d think their lawyers would be all over that
I'm convinced they saw how much money Disney Quest saved by never fixing the broken games that they decided to use the same maintenance routine for Buzz Lightyear.

Can we get the Disneyland guns while they're at it?

Taking all bets, despite one of them being abandoned, what's in a worst state? SGE or Buzz?

The entire front of Tomorrowland needs extensive work. My hope is that once Frontireland is finished, they’ll start focusing their efforts on Tomorrowland. With the new kiddie car ride included, hopefully that allows them to rip out the Speedway as well and do something better with that large space. That said, I think the rumored Moana ride in Adventureland will be done before this.
