Disneyland Pulls Two Toy Story Shooter Rides With No Return Date
Disney has not given timelines or details, leaving guests unsure of what to expect.
Overview
- Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, which closes Monday, enters refurbishment with no return date after Toy Story Midway Mania! shut down April 6.
- Disneyland earlier announced the Buzz closure but did not detail the scope of work or say when the Tomorrowland ride will reopen.
- Walt Disney World’s counterpart reopened April 8 with new ride vehicles, redesigned handheld blasters, upgraded targets, and a new audio-animatronic character named Buddy.
- Disneyland has given no indication that its Buzz Lightyear attraction will receive the same upgrades as the Florida version.
- With both shooter rides down, Jessie’s Critter Carousel is the only Toy Story attraction open, and outlets note unconfirmed theories tied to the Disneyland70 celebration and the June 19 Toy Story 5 release.
