Hopefully, Galactic Hero is sticking around
Disney’s having a pretty good week – Disney+ is finally letting you remove content from the ‘Continue Watching’ list, we get a look behind the curtain at how the robotic BDX Droids came to be, and Marvel announced the cast of Avengers: Doomsday.
Not to be overshadowed, though, and potentially timed to Toy Story’s 30th anniversary, Disney’s Imagineering has announced some big changes, which will result in a technological infusion to a mainstay attraction – Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin – at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
The Space Ranger Spin attraction will be updated with a whole host of technology, all in the quest for a more immersive and fun experience while riding. While the changes won’t arrive until 2026 after a closure, there are several enhancements to be excited about.
Leading the pack are entirely new ride vehicles with displays, redesigned blasters that shoot targets boasting colorful lasers, and a new animatronic debuting in a new scene on the attraction. It’s an intricate balance, keeping what fans of the ride have come to know and infusing enhancements to level up.
