News New projectors Coming to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin

[electric]

This ride desperately needs upgrades/full gut. While it won't be the later, any upgrades are appreciated at this point.

Sadly the same can be said for most of tomorrowland

Geezzzz, so they are replacing the light bulbs?

Time to close up this thread then.

How about using the set pieces from the soon-to-be-defunct Buzz at Tokyo Disneyland ?

The Tokyo version looks soooooo much better

Probably for the same reason they never sent the electric cars from Hong Kong's Autopia over...

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.

Maybe Disney Parks is waiting to see if Pixar’s Elio is a mega hit to incorporate the characters into an updated Tomorrowland.
After seeing the trailer for Elio, I am not convinced it will be a super hit.

What is the reason? Different electronics?
Similar to how Disneyland Paris had to rewire and retrofit Tokyo’s Fantallusion nighttime parade?

This ride needs gutting and starting from scratch. If you ride the other versions around the World, you'll notice how bad this attraction really is. The targets don't even light up and make noises when you hit them to confirm you actually hit them like they do in all the other versions around the World. The mounted guns also need to be changed as they are not mounted on any other version and give you much better accuracy.

I dare say they can't be bothered to hope it's a winner. Elio has to go into Tomorrowland, regardless of box office success. Else the land loses it's identity following in the footsteps of Frontierland. It's a shoo-in unless they're just stupid.

One thing Buzz (or whatever similar attraction overlay were to happen) is that it's an onmimover aka super high capacity.

I do think it's time for a new theme. Two other Buzz attractions have already been or are being re-themed (HK and Tokyo).

Doesn't one of them have the AntMan ride instead? Was it a buzz ride before Antman or was it originally built as Antman?

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle! replaced Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters at Hong Kong Disneyland. A Wreck-It Ralph ride is replacing Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters at Tokyo Disneyland.

 

[ChrisFL]

What's cool about Ant-Man and the Wasp is that it has an original MCU story (as much as there is one) with a villain from Captain America. I haven't been on it personally, but nice to have a unique storyline

Yeah, about that last part…

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

In Florida, there's more mold out in the open air than in a building with HVAC.

Everywhere you look outside is covered in mold to some degree.

While HVAC reduces molding, it doesn't eliminate it. Over time, it builds up.

There is an expectation that people occasionally clean off building-up mold indoors. One expects the indoors to be significantly cleaner than the outdoors, and there to be no smell of mold.

Also, differing molds have differing impacts on health.

So, that there is a significant health risk is unlikely.

Now, there could be an area in the ride's building that is constantly wet (think leaking roof or pipes) in which there is a very significant build-up of mold. Whether that's the case, I don't know.

HVAC can exacerbate mold development if not properly maintained or installed properly, especially in hot/humid environments in which condensation builds up in coils and in duct work.

Also, differing molds have differing impacts on health.

Most guests will be fine, because there is no long-term exposure. However cast members who spend their entire shift in the building over the course of several weeks may become sensitive to its presence.

So, that there is a significant health risk is unlikely.

All forms of mold are considered bio-hazards, while most may not be affected, continued exposure is problematic for people with compromised immune systems, pulmonary issues, people with asthma, and aggravate people who suffer from seasonal allergies.

The building is 50 years old and based on the conditions of things, not taken care of very well or cleaned thoroughly. (And that's the guest facing areas) I would imagine the backstage areas are even worse.

Somehow I don't think Disney cares much about long term exposure to harmful things when it's also right near Tomorrowland Speedway where CMs are around gasoline/exhaust fumes all day

Florida sun day after day might do a bit of damage as well
