Overview
- The Magic Kingdom attraction, slated to reopen April 8, ran Cast Member and media previews that showcased a redesigned shooter experience and new on-ride score displays.
- Fixed cannons are now detachable handheld blasters with red and green lasers, color-matched hit confirmation, and haptic and audio feedback, and they support continuous fire by holding the trigger.
- Scores no longer cap at 999,999, with Galactic Hero now shown at 1,000,000, and targets use changing values including white ring doublers and brief rainbow bonuses that boost nearby scores.
- Preview riders praised the upgrades but reported a practical snag as the new blasters can be hard to re-holster at the unload point, raising concerns about left-behind gear and slower turnarounds.
- Cast Members said the free Galactic Hero sticker is still under discussion under the new system, while exterior updates and a $34.99 Bubble Blaster toy offer fresh tie-ins before the official opening.
