Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

Dark ride

About Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

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. -- Last edited by Laurie smith

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

This ride is superior than its Florida cousin but is inferior to Men in Black, which has larger and better sets and the ride vehicle has different movements. This ride has moderate wait times of about 40 minutes on really busy days but it usually runs in the 20-35 minute range. Theres also fastpass available if you want to ride fast or multiple times. - Manny Barron

Fun for all ages to shoot targets and compete against your friends. The line is also pretty cool. - Sam C

We loved it me and my kids did it 3 times before we moved fovard. - Magdalena Martinez

Sooo much fun!!!! I looove this ride. Even though my score is pretty low, I have soo much fun on this ride. Good times. - Sarah E

Alright, just an arcade gae on wheels. Nothing unique. - Bellatrix Lestrange

We walked by this attraction many times since it opened a few years ago. But don’t’ make our mistake because it’s really fun. We walked by because I thought I was too old for this one. Boy, was I wrong. It’s a Blast  - Bud Webb

Its really cool when you get to interact on a ride!!! We had so much fun with this turning the cart around, shooting for the targets while enjoying the theme of the ride. Really great. - T K

This ride is more like a video game. You have to shoot the "Z"s and you will get points for it. My score was 24000. - Erin : )

I love this shoot-'em-up ride, a cross between a classic Disney Omnimover attraction and a video game. Buzz is addictive; you'll want to ride again and again, to chase a high score. I also prefer this version to Orlando's, as it has hand-held (not car-mounted) guns and a better array of targets. - Robert Niles

I loved this ride! Really great use of themeing from Toy Story. - Ben James

Better off at the "Space Ranger Spin" than this ride. - Wilfredo Alvelo
