Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - Classic or Not

[S.I.R. the Robot]

I'm afraid they're going to replace Welker's voice with Stanton's one day. They fixed the pterodactyl so we know they still care about this ride. Stanton's voice has become deeper and more Vader like in recent years, as opposed to the Moltar type of voice he had earlier on. But if they replace Welker with Knight, then I won't be that sad.

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.

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.

I'm a fan of this ride solely because it has Zurg. I don't care about his different voice either (this was during production of TS2); I just like his arch dialogue.

(Also, do my posts keep triggering the spam filter?? I've noticed alot of them have gone missing, including one about Zurg's voice in this ride.)

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

Zurg was voiced by Ken Mitchroney, his original character designer, in this ride. I think that's why they haven't refurbished him with Stanton's voice.

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

Why didn't they get him on the cartoon instead of Patrick Warburton?

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

Why, 'cause Zurg sounds like he has a respiratory disease??

I made my point. The nostalga brigrade will be in soon, so i wish you farewell my dear friend.

Oh, yeah. I grew up with Buzz Lightyear so this ride is nostalgic.

Yet somehow, Indiana Jones, which breaks down constantly, and Haunted Mansion, which stops constantly, are considered indisputable classics.

It's not the breakdowns, it's Buzz.

When I went on HM in 2016, it didn't stop, but when I went on Buzz, it broke down in the final room.

not a classic. The queue is gross and the guns need replaced. It has a spot in the parks but could use a really good updgrade

As a member of the nostalgia brigade, I would argue that Delta Dreamflight (like IYHW before it), Timekeeper, Alien Encounter, TTA, and the FedEx Space Mountain are the true classics of WDW's Tomorrowland, because as a whole they were so much more than the sum of their parts.

I saw Buzz the week it opened, and when it was brand new (and a reasonable wait pre-fastpass), it had potential, but it has simply not aged well. Give me the aforementioned attraction combo any day of the week.

ETA: And let us not forget Carousel of Progress. Because really, can it get any more classic than that?

ETA2: And Mission to Mars. And the Skyway. And America the Beautiful sponsored by Monsanto. Sigh, Toad is getting old.

Although that's not always a bad thing. When I rode it in November it broke down for about a minute but I was within range of a high points target. I made good use of my time and kept blasting away. I ended up getting into the top category group. I'm usually ranked in one of the lower groups.

S.I.R. and Zurg were the best characters in the '90s Tomorrowland.

To me Buzz Astro blasters is a Six Flags level attraction.
