Buzz Rehab?

[Brent]

Acording to INTERCOT Buzz will be down for rehab from Jan. 4,2006 to Feb. 8,2006 can anyone else confirm this yet for me & any ideas what they may be doing during this time? This is during when i'm going to be there so I can only hope it isnt true(im already going to miss TT) but if anyone has more info on this let me know.
(WIWDWIB Contest Info comeing THIS WEEK)

From the Company intranet:

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin will be closed for refurbishment beginning Wednesday, January 4 through Wednesday, February 8, reopening Thursday, February 9, 2006. Please suggest Tomorrowland Indy Speedway as an alternative.

And it isn't anything more than a regular rehab. Painting, mechanical work, etc. And the ride needs it, so I'm glad to see they are going ahead with it.

I read that last night on AllEarsNet.com, and it was pretty surprising. I had tried to keep up-to-date on any JAN rehabs, but that one must have just flown under the radar. At least we know now we have to do it early, as we'll only be there that first week on JAN.

I've also heard this on the podcast by MouseGuest from someone who was just at WDW.

The attraction is in serious need of some repainting....it's pretty beat up.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a kick out of what they tell you to use as an alternative when a certain ride is being refurbed??

I can always help them paint. I am a master now after painting 5 rooms in my house. I am tired though it might not actually be a good idea.

Any work on Buzz is good cause it needs it terribly. It'll take a lot more than a month's work to get Space Ranger Spin up to the level of either of the Astroblasters.

What ever happened to that rumor about it being down for both painting and the addition of new blasters? Similar to the ones on Men In Black...

Buzz Rehab

I just got back from WDW on Saturday, November 19th, and my family rode Buzz at least 15 times. Every third time, one of us ended up with a laser gun that was only working sporadically. Luckily, the lines were short, and we could go back on. I'd hate to have waited in line for an hour and then ended up with a defective laser gun. Go rehab!

I really hope they do change the blasters. The ones at DL are so much nicer and it also makes it easier to shoot!

Ugh the paint needs some serious help on this ride. The cars are in terrible, beat-up shape. I'm glad it's getting some TLC.

I'm all for the rehab, just wish they had decided to start a few days later... visiting the world Jan 7-14.

Well thank you everyone for confirming this for me. It's too bad it will be down for my bf's first ever trip to WDW, but I guss that just leaves a reason to get to go again. Fran98765 stayed tuned for the contest info since you will be there at the time of the contest i'm haveing.
