Frog Overview
Enter Star Command Headquarters in Tomorrowland® Area, where you’ll make your way through a path of neon colors and meet Buzz Lightyear, who gives you important instructions and details on your mission. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin® Attraction is all about mixing fun and competition, Disney-styled!
You’ll become an official junior space ranger and control your very own XP-37 Star Cruiser to stop the Evil Emperor Zurg from stealing the batteries of the Little Green Men’s space vehicles. Your Star Cruiser will take flight and guide you through the galaxies until you accomplish your task. Once on flight, you’ll spend the duration of the attraction battling gigantic robots in a world of black light and 10 different scenes. Aiming your personal laser cannon at the targeted subjects, you’ll rack up some points while doing so! Be sure to watch out for enemies lurking in the shadows or craters; there are several species of aliens you’ll need to defeat to earn a high score on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin® Attraction.
Your Star Cruiser will take the Emergency Escape Hatch when Evil Emperor Zurg is closing in on you, and finish the battle in a high-speed space attack, flying through the cosmos. Use this opportunity to earn as many points as you can! After the well-fought battle, you’ll find Evil Emperor Zurg defeated and Buzz Lightyear greeting you at the end. Check your score at the Status Board and see how you rank as a Space Ranger!
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin® Attraction is located at the central hub of Tomorrowland® Area, just southeast of Astro Orbiter’s towering rocket ship. The duration of the attraction is about 4 ½ minutes. Each car is equipped with two laser-cannons and a score-keeping display. A central joystick allows you to spin your car to line up the targets. The ride vehicles don’t come to a complete stop for boarding, but slow down enough to make loading very easy.
Guests must transfer from their motorized scooter or ECV to an available wheelchair to experience the attraction. Handheld Captioning devices, which display text segments at this attraction, are available at Guest Relations. Audio Description devices that provide supplemental audio for guests with visual disabilities are also available at Guest Relations.
