Buzz Lightyear Ride Relaunch Sets Uncapped Scoring as Galactic Hero Stickers Remain Uncertain

Previewers say returning the new handheld blasters to their holsters is tricky.

Overview

  • Reporters who rode the preview on Tuesday said the new detachable blasters were hard to reholster, raising concerns about loose gear at unload.
  • Cast Members told AllEars and Disney Food Blog that the free Galactic Hero stickers are still under discussion under the new scoring rules.
  • The updated system no longer caps scores at 999,999, and the ride now awards Galactic Hero status at 1,000,000 with riders able to exceed that.
  • Detachable handheld blasters replace the old fixed guns, and reporters advised holding the trigger down and bracing the blaster with the other hand to rack up points.
  • The attraction reopens April 8 at Magic Kingdom with new ride scenes, a support character, and refreshed vehicles following cast tests and media previews.
