Disney has a very good week – Disney + finally allows you to delete the contents of the list “ keep watching ”, we have a glance behind the curtain on how the robotic BDX droids have become, and Marvel announced the distribution of Avengers: Doomsday.
Do not be overshadowed, however, and potentially timed to Toy‘s 30th anniversary, Disney’s Imagineering has announced great changes, which will lead to a technological infusion to a pillar attraction – Space Ranger by Buzz Lightyear – at the Disney World Magic Kingdom.
The Space Ranger Spin attraction will be updated with a whole series of technologies, all in the quest for a more immersive and fun experience when driving. Although the changes do not arrive before 2026 after a closure, there are several improvements to excite.
The peloton management is entirely new driving vehicles with screens, redesigned blasters that shoot targets that boast of colored lasers and a new animatronic start in a new scene on attraction. It is a complex balance, keeping what fans of driving have learned and insufficient improvements to rise at level.
In the attraction, two guests embark on a driving vehicle and help Buzz Lightyear and the colleagues that the space guards draw targets with the “Z on them on the evil of the emperor Zurg. As a person who has gone there, current lasers can become quite tiring, with what looks like a need for constant support and release on the trigger and not know exactly the target you will draw.
How Disney uses technology to improve a trip
This same story will be the case, but each new blaster has a unique laser color, which should help you identify the target in which you are. The improved targets “will react and light up when they are struck”, although Disney does not share exactly what technology has allowed this. However, he clearly said that there was an evolution in technology fueling this change.
Disney promises that the improved journey will arrive in 2026, which means that the current route will have to close in August 2025 to allow updates and improvements. The game tests started, allowing the design team to work on the journey to try the enchantments and a concept phase.
Although Disney has not given an exact time to develop the Space Ranger Spin updates, the creative director of the Justin Detolla project said in a statement: “We have been working on this project for some time now, it was therefore exciting to see everything for the first time in the field.”
The shared photos of the test show the new blasters, which boast of a flowing circular bubble which flows and a more compact more compact design, although the target seems quite similar. When the trip will reopen, the on -board screen will provide score updates in real time, rather than a classic LED display that lists your score via red LEDs.
Overall, an exciting teasing week of the 30th anniversary of Toy – that you can now broadcast on one of the best streaming services, Disney + – and making other attractions infused with technology at Disney Parks, this time at Disney World.
It is an exciting period of changes for the theme parks of the company with more expansions already announced for Disney World, including a land of bad guys in Magic Kingdom and a Cars land. Hollywood Studio gets a Monsters Inc. The earth and the animal kingdom will obtain the very first Inner to go up. There are a lot on the horizon, but for the moment, we know at least that a new update of a favorite ride of fans will arrive in 2026.
