Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, a dark ride in Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
Interactive dark ride. Guests shoot mounted guns at alien targets to defeat Evil Emperor Zurg. You can also control which way your vehicle faces by turning 360 degrees in either direction.

Pretty good ride - Andrew Dougherty I can beat Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, and Kenny McCormick's asses at this any day! I just get into the vehicle with glitches :) Even without the shooting element, it would be a fun cardboard style ride! Awesome ride not to be missed! 9/10 - Eric Cartman Always a ride I never get tired of. I always seem to do just OK on the ride compared to TSMM. Needs to be like Disneyland's. 8/10 - Christopher Sturniolo Although the California version is better, my whole family found this ride to be a very nice experience. Obviously, Toy Story Midway Mania is better, it was child-friendly and a unique ride. - Brendan Harrison Really good not better than TSM but really good for the whole family. - Giovanny Cruz I love it! One of my favorites, but doesnt stand up to TSM . 8/10 - Dominick D Not bad. But natural comparisons to Toy Story and MIB mean that this falls short in the excitement department. Still pretty good, but the guns are really frustrating as you practically have to move your vehicle to aim at anything as the guns have hardly any movement. Sometimes wonder what to aim for but compared to laser rides in the UK, this is miles ahead, but miles behind TSMM and MIB. - James McGee A fantastic interactive ride. The queue is much more forgiving compared to Toy Story Midway Mania, but in my opinion isn't quite as good. For those who struggle with the spinning on MIB or TSMM then you'll be glad to know that you are in full control of the vehicle movement - it's on a track but you spin the vehicle as you please. - Andrew Mooney Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is well themed and is good fun. You can control the car so if anyone is being too competitive just spin it round. The only problem is it can be difficult to work out exactly what you are meant to be firing out. I got a bonus without really working out what I'd done whereas my brother was taking it all very seriously and scored pretty low. Queue - Most of it indoors, well-themed and a nice place to escape the heat. - Mark Williams fun ride for kids, adults ride it b/c its competitive. Its a fun ride but with TSM I would mind a new overlay, perhaps from Wall-E or an original concept but still a riode I end up rodong multiple times just to improve my score - travis traymoore No need for 2 Toy Story shooting games! Good game though. 6/10 - D H How could anyone say that the Men in Black ride is better?? This is definitely superior! It has a nice clean finish that the MIB ride lacks! Fun for the whole entire family! - Sarah Durden Outdated and unexciting compared to Midway Mania and Universal's Men in Black. - Ashleigh Noad This is a great ride for anyone especially Toy Story fans. The aiming can be a little tricky but there are tips online to maximize your point totals. The Toy Story Mania ride at Disney Hollywood Studios is better, but this ride is solid. A "must do" if you have kids!!! 7/10 - Bob Liebe Quite a good laugh - kids will love it. Men in Black in Universal is much better however. - Dan Jones 6/10. I've noticed that this ride is getting smaller and smaller in comparision to Toy Story Midway Mania at DHS and even Men in Black: Alien Attack at UOR. Many of the vehicles that I've gotten on lately haven't worked correctly, the guns wouldn't fire and the vehicle wouldn't stop spinning if the joystick isn't being held onto. It's still fun, but I'm not enjoying Buzz as much as I used to. - Nick Dakuginow There are tips online and youtube hint videos. Maxed out legitimately on last trip (as opposed to when the ride stops by a high point target). - Marc Ricketts More attraction and restaurant ratings:
