Changes

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin opened on November 3 1998. The attraction replaced Take Flight, which was the final incarnation of a series of aviation themed attractions that had been located in Tomorrowland since 1972 (the other attractions being: If You Had Wings, If You Could Fly, Delta Dreamflight, and Dreamflight). When creating Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Imagineers reused the old Take Flight track and ride system. Based on the adventures of Buzz Lightyear (from Disney's Toy Story), the attraction is part shooting gallery , and part dark ride. Since its opening in 1998 the Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has not seen and major changes.

After witnessing the attack, the Space Cruisers travel to planet Z which the home of Zurg. Here aliens of various shapes (including large snake like aliens) move around. In the sky, robots can be seen bringing batteries to Zurg's ship, and in the background volcanoes seem to be erupting. As the ships move on, the scene switches to the Robot Factory and then finally to Zurg’s ship. Here, Zurg is creating his robots and bringing in the batteries to create his secret weapon. After shooting the targets in the factory, the Little Green Men lead guests out an escape hatch and into hyperspace. The hyperspace room differs from every other scene in the attraction. Here, Guests are engulfed by video screens which depict Zurg and the Space Rangers battling in space. Of note, is the fact that there is only one target in the hyperspace room.

After emerging from hyperspace, the Rangers finally face off against the Zurg himself. After shooting the targets in the room, it is clear that Zurg has been defeated. The Little Green Men also manage to get their batteries back from Zurg, and Buzz Lightyear congratulates guests for a great mission. In this room, guests photos are also taken, which are available for purchase in the attraction’s giftshopgift shop.
