A Final Blast Before Refurbishment
The countdown is on, Space Rangers! If you want one last blast at Emperor Zurg, now’s the time. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom will close on August 4, 2025, with the final day to ride set for August 3. After nearly three decades, this Tomorrowland favorite is preparing for its biggest mission yet — a high-tech refurbishment set to debut in 2026.
A Galactic Farewell
Since opening in 1998, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has let guests team up with Buzz to save the galaxy. Over the years, it has become a must‑do attraction for families and fans of all ages. Now, Disney Imagineers are ready to take the adventure to infinity… and beyond.
What’s Coming in 2026
When the attraction reopens in 2026, guests can look forward to exciting upgrades:
- New pre‑show introducing support‑bot Buddy
- Reimagined ride vehicles featuring onboard video monitors
- Upgraded laser cannons with haptic feedback and improved accuracy
- Interactive targets that respond dynamically for even more excitement
Don’t Miss Your Final Mission
If you want to experience Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in its classic form, make sure to ride before the closure on August 3. The enhanced version will reopen in 2026, ushering in a bold new chapter for Tomorrowland.
