It’s officially time to go to infinity and beyond, because Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has finally reopened at Magic Kingdom!
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin soft opening
After Cast Member previews and a surprise soft opening, this popular Tomorrowland ride is welcoming Space Cadets once again. We stopped by Magic Kingdom to check out the crowds and wait times, and we certainly weren’t the only ones!
It’s official! Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has reopened at Magic Kingdom after a lengthy closure. This ride got quite a refresh with new vehicles, blasters, targets, and more. When we checked out the ride as part of a preview, we LOVED everything about the updated changes. We headed into Magic Kingdom this morning to check out the crowds and wait times over at Space Ranger Spin, and it turns out, LOTS of people were excited about the ride’s reopening!
Rope drop wasn’t bad
When we got into Tomorrowland, though, it suddenly became much more crowded!
Everyone wants to ride today!
We went to get in line for Buzz, which looked busy, but not too bad at first.
Looking okay!
But to find the end of the line, a long part of it extended beyond the queue and under the PeopleMover,
Getting longer…
Until we finally found it, stretching towards Carousel of Progress! The Cast Member confirmed that the wait time is 45 minutes or less.
Found it!
As far as wait times go, it looks like Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has peaked at 45 minutes this morning. Since Lightning Lanes for the ride are almost sold out for the day, we’re expecting it to get more crowded as the day goes on.
Only 45 minutes!
One of the biggest (and most celebrated) changes to the new version of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is the replacement of the original, fixed blasters with new ones that can be picked up and aimed in any direction. Previously, you had to fully spin your ride vehicle to aim your blaster at the targets, but now, you can pick up your blaster and point it where you want it to go. This is an extremely welcome change, and we’re not the only ones who think so.
