Disney PhotoPass has shared that there will be a new on-ride photo for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin when it reopens on April 8th at Magic Kingdom. The fun part of the new on-ride photo offering is that it will add your attraction stats to the frame of the photo. Here’s a closer look!
New Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin On-Ride Photo Adds Stats
While it looks like the location of the on-ride photo will remain the same as it has been, there will be new information on the photo border, including the date and stats from your mission to defeat Emperor Zurg. Not only will your rank be displayed based on how well you did on the shooting-style attraction, additional stats such as special targets hit, and total targets hit will also be displayed.
…there will be new Disney PhotoPass memories for guests featuring, for the first time, their scores and rank for all the bragging rights.
When it reopens, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will feature a number of upgrades:
- Brand New Scene – As their adventure begins, guests will now be greeted by an all-new character! As a support-bot, Buddy makes sure departing Space Rangers are fully prepared for their mission, enthusiastically providing encouragement, final system checks on their Star Cruisers and a chance to hone their blaster aim.
- All-New Targets – The static Z targets found in the attraction today will be upgraded with new technology that will allow them to react and light up when hit. It also opens the door for a few other ideas Imagineers have in mind. Â
- Brand New Ride Vehicles – Star cruisers will also receive a face lift with a new design inspired by the colors of Buzz Lightyear and Star Command. Each enhanced vehicle will also now come equipped with video monitors that provide real-time scoring updates and other exciting features.
- Handheld Blasters – Each ride vehicle will now include handheld blasters for better aim, helping guests to score even more points. These new blasters will be perfect for younger riders, allowing them to participate more in the experience.
And, if you’ve ever wondered where you’re aiming (don’t worry, you’re not alone), these enhanced blasters will now include an always-on laser and come in two different colors per star cruiser, in addition to new lighting, sound and vibration effects, so players know where they’re aiming throughout the mission.
