Disney held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the reimagined Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom on Wednesday morning. After cast member previews and a soft opening, the ride has officially relaunched.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Ribbon Cutting
Dozens of Tomorrowland cast members, Walt Disney World Ambassadors Serena and Shannon, and Magic Kingdom VP Sarah Riles gathered in front of the ride to celebrate its reopening.
With a giant pair of scissors, cast members cut a purple ribbon in front of the ride’s new sign.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has brand-new ride vehicles (replacing the original 1970s If You Had Wings cars), handheld blasters, interactive targets and a revamped scoring system, a new opening training scene with Buddy the robot, an updated finale including Buzz, a new on-ride photo, and Toy Story 5 Easter eggs.
The attraction’s gift shop also received several upgrades. Check out our photos of the reopened ride and shop and watch our POV video below.
