Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Reopens April 8 With Handheld Blasters, Live Scoring, and a New Robot Guide

Media previews confirm a tech-focused refresh that fixes long-standing aiming and scoring issues.

Overview

  • Cast and media previews are underway at Magic Kingdom.
  • New removable handheld blasters feature always-on lasers, red and green beams to distinguish players, plus light, sound, and haptic effects.
  • Targets now react to hits by lighting up in the shooter’s color, improving feedback and adding more scoring opportunities.
  • Each seat has a video display showing live scores and revised rank tiers, with totals now surpassing one million points.
  • A support-robot named Buddy leads a training sequence with practice targets, and the on-ride PhotoPass image now includes each rider’s score and rank.
