Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - Classic or Not

[Kamikaze]

So you're saying that Cars isn't in fact evergreen if there isn't new product being pumped out constantly, and therefore Cars IS in fact less popular than before?

I'm glad we agree.

No, I said thats why there aren't as many toys in toy stores ...

Less toys=less popularity, does it not?

I have a hard time accepting any attraction that has opened after 2000 as a "classic," lol. I really only consider opening day attractions and Walt-touched attractions classics... Or old-school dark rides... But they also have to contain some level of quality to be a classic in my mind, particularly at HS and AK.

MK- Tiki Room, County Bears, Tom Sawyer Island, Swiss Family Treehouse, Pirates, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, PeopleMover, Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion, Main Street Vehicles, Railroad.... All of the obvious stuff.

EPCOT- Living with the Land, Spaceship Earth, American Adventure, Impressions de France, most of World Showcase... And I will throw a bone over to Soarin'.

HS- Muppets, Indiana Jones, Tower of Terror, Fantasmic, the OG concept of Star Tours.

AK- Dinosuar, Safaris, It's Tough to be a Bug... And I'll throw more bones at Everest and Lion King.

It opened in '98

No ...

Stores generally only stock 'new' goods. So if nothing new is being created there is nothing for them to put out.

But that doesn't necessarily mean that any existing 'fandom' for Cars is smaller because Target doesn't have toys for Cars on its shelves.

Ok…when you enter Zerg’s room before the dark room with the spinning lights aim at the target below Zurg it is worth 100,000. There is another 100,000 one in the first target room you can shoot at, it is once you pass it by at the top of the room. Amaze your family and friends!

Ah. Well. It still doesn't do it for me. Anything Toy Story screams 2000s to me. Even if the OG and TV show were late 90s.

It replaced a classic omnimover.

Yes, we know, only 80s guy.

Cars Land is extremely loved at DCA.

the ride yes.. heck i wish theyd bring it to florida. But I dont see the toys or kids talking about it like they did a few years ago. Then again toys are no longer the same as they were before (more virtual than physical).

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

I love and prefer Delta Dreamflight but this ride deserves its place in the classic category.

I'm 25. Lol

Yeah but your gimmick is that only stuff from the 80s is good.

No it's not. Read the post again. Lol.

I think Buzz is a ton of fun, I do it all the time. But I know Disney can do something more high quality than what we currently have.

Agreed

 

[Andrew_Korenchkin]

It's a fun attraction, and the interactive element is great for kids especially (my nephew absolutely LOVES it for that reason). But a classic? Definitely a stretch.

 

[DonniePeverley]

The attraction is an utter disgrace. Shameful that in the year 2023, with ticket costs as high as they are, we are served up nonsense like this. This isn't even one for the looney 'nostalga brigade' to get excited about either.

 

[AidanCKY]

Future classic for sure. Toy Story is ingrained in the childhood of most people aged 30 and below i'd imagine.

 

[Brer Panther]

And Buzz is voiced by Patrick Fraley, who at the time was their go-to voice for Buzz whenever Tim Allen was too busy.

 

[DonniePeverley]

The only reason this ride is considered bad is because it breaks down EVERY TIME.

ONLY REASON? The attraction is a disgrace.
