If your idea of a great date includes a little friendly competition, there’s a new reason to head to Magic Kingdom this spring.
Disney has confirmed that the refreshed Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will reopen on April 8, just in time for summer visits, and early details suggest this update is going to make the ride even more fun for couples who love a good challenge. We love a good Disney date, and soon you'll be able to level up your time together at Magic Kingdom.
What's Coming to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Let’s be honest, this ride has always been one of the best places at Walt Disney World to turn a date into a scoreboard showdown. But soon, it will be even better.
With updated blasters, more interactive targets, refreshed ride vehicles, and an overall visual glow-up, the experience is getting a noticeable upgrade. That means more precision, more responsiveness, and (most importantly) more opportunities to outscore your partner.
If you’ve ever argued over who actually won on Space Ranger Spin, this refresh may finally settle the score.
A ride built for playful competition
What makes this attraction especially great for couples is how easy it is to turn it into a game within a game.
You’re not just riding — you’re competing:
- Who can hit the high-value targets first
- Who has the better aim
- Who walks away as the true Space Ranger
And with the refreshed elements, gameplay is expected to feel smoother and more engaging, making that competition even more satisfying.
Stay tuned for our insider tips
We’ll be back once the refreshed ride opens with insider tips on how to boost your score, find the best targets, and win your next Space Ranger showdown.
Because every great date deserves a little competition — and maybe even a victory lap.
