Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland is about to get a major upgrade! Today, Disney has shared an exclusive first look at the new ride vehicles for the highly anticipated overhaul of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. The iconic attraction closed on August 4, 2025, for a significant refurbishment, and these new vehicles are just the beginning of what’s to come in 2026.

The new vehicles, which were unveiled at a media event, have a sleek, Star Command-inspired look, a fresh take on the classic Star Cruiser design. This is a significant change, as the previous vehicles were a piece of Disney history, having been carried over from the former Tomorrowland attraction, Delta Dreamflight, which first debuted in 1972.
Beyond their updated aesthetic, these new vehicles will feature exciting technological improvements. Each ride vehicle will now be equipped with video monitors that display real-time scores, making it easier than ever to track your progress in the battle against Emperor Zurg. These screens will also feature “other exciting features,” which Disney has not yet detailed, sparking curiosity among fans about what new gameplay elements might be in store.

The refurbishment of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. In addition to the new vehicles, Disney has confirmed that the attraction will also receive new handheld blasters, interactive targets that light up when hit, and an entirely new opening scene with a new character, Buddy, a support-bot designed to help Space Rangers prepare for their mission.
This comprehensive overhaul is expected to bring the attraction up to the modern standards of gameplay and technology seen in other Disney Parks, while maintaining the beloved spirit of Buzz Lightyear’s mission to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg. The new vehicles and other enhancements will undoubtedly elevate the experience for a new generation of Space Rangers when the attraction reopens in 2026.
