Today, Aug 3rd, 2025, is the last day to defeat Zurg. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is closing aug 4th and reopening sometime in 2026.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland is an interactive dark ride that combines the fun of a carnival shooting gallery with a classic Disney omnimover ride system. It’s inspired by the “Toy Story” franchise, specifically focusing on Buzz Lightyear’s mission to defeat his arch-nemesis, Evil Emperor Zurg.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will be temporarily closed for refurbishment beginning August 4, 2025, and is planned to reopen in 2026. Read the Disney Parks Blog to learn more.
The Magic Kingdom will be open today from 8:30 AM for early entry and 9:00 AM for regular guests. The park will close at 11:00 PM, giving guests ample time for Junior Space Rangers to ride in the XP-37 star cruiser, firing their laser cannon at targets from across the galaxy!
We will be heading over ourselves to see if we can rack up 999,999 points and become a Galactic Hero!
Changes coming in 2026 to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin include all-new, redesigned ride vehicles, which will now feature video monitors for real-time scoring. Guests will also be equipped with new handheld blasters, providing better aim with always-on lasers, along with new lighting, sound, and vibration effects for a more immersive shooting experience.
Furthermore, the static “Z” targets throughout the attraction will be replaced with interactive versions that light up and react when hit, offering more dynamic feedback. Finally, a brand-new scene featuring a supportive robot named “Buddy” will be added at the beginning of the mission, helping Space Rangers prepare and practice with the updated interactive targets before their adventure against Emperor Zurg.
