Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters reviews

Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, a dark ride in Tomorrowland at Disneyland.

Ride along in (manual) spinning two-person cars while shooting targets throughout the ride. It's like a life-sized video game. But make sure you go with two people. It's a much more interactive and fun ride with two people. Plus someone has to control both the spinning, and the shooting. It's good to trade off on who controls the car... or to throw off the other person's aim if you're like that!

Disabled Guests: Get in the standard line and proceed into the building. At the boarding area is a door to the disabled boarding area. This ride does have a moving walk way so it may be better to board in the disabled boarding area. Guests may remain in their wheelchair for this ride. Guess in ECVs must transfer to a wheelchair or load normally.

Persons with sensory issues should check out videos of this ride first as it does have a flash photograph taken of guests, flashing lights and noises. Like being in an arcade game.

very fun ride. my nephew loves this ride. but it stops to much. - N O

Agree with Manny- Men in Black is better. Still fun. Could see it getting tired in later years... - Kurt Larson

It is a good ride but considering the history of Tomorrowland I don't think it is the best thing Disney could come up with. Unfortunately it is sucessful enough to stick around, but just not good enough for me to wish it would never be replaced. - Andy B

I love Buzz Lightyear! This is a fun ride for all ages. I love the fact that you get to steer your "ship". - Thomas Furlong

Being a Toy Story fan, I could not resist going on this ride. Just like Toy Story Mania over at California Adventure, this time you use blasters similar to the ones seen in the Buzz Lightyear cartoon. Zapping Zerg and his menions, it is a visual shooting gallery as you move from one area to the next. A definite ride to go on for Toy Story fans and for kids of all ages. I know my nephews loved it when the family went there. - D.S. Francisco

Very good shooter ride. Only one that I like better is Toy Story Mania. - Will Chilcote
