Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom has officially closed to undergo a significant refurbishment. The classic Tomorrowland attraction is getting a major update that will include new vehicles, blasters, and targets to enhance the gameplay experience. This closure is in preparation for what promises to be a fresh take on a fan-favorite ride.

Today, the attraction’s entrance doors were closed, with a sign reading “Operations Suspended.”

The sign reads:

“OPERATIONS SUSPENDED

Star Command Code, Section 2-3A.C/D_9V: Crystolic fusion power cells depleted. Initiate immediate Recharge Protocols. All launches postponed until resorce acquisition units return.

PLEASE PROCEED TO ADJACENT MISSION ZONES.”

Additionally, the PeopleMover viewports looking into the attraction have been covered with metal shutters. The adjoining gift shop, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Photos, is also closed for the refurbishment. As a result, Toy Story merchandise has been moved to Tomorrowland Launch Depot, which continues to sell TRON Lightcycle / Run merchandise.

The major overhaul for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom, announced earlier this year, is officially underway. The attraction closed on August 4 and is expected to reopen sometime in 2026.

The updates will introduce several exciting changes, including:

• A new scene featuring a new character, Buddy the support-bot.
• New ride vehicles inspired by Star Command, complete with video monitors for real-time scoring and other features.
• Updated blasters with an always-on laser, new colors, and enhanced light, sound, and haptic feedback.
• A complete refresh of the targets throughout the ride.

Are you looking forward to experiencing the updated version of the ride?
