Disney Parks shared a themed 'first look' at the refurbished Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin ride at Magic Kingdom via X, building excitement for its spring 2026 reopening after a major overhaul.
On March 19, 2026, the official Disney Parks X account posted an 'Incoming transmission from Star Command' message, offering fans an initial glimpse of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom (https://x.com/DisneyParks/status/2034616027800019243). The space-themed update, featuring emojis of stars, rockets, and astronauts, teases the ride's return following its August 2025 closure for refurbishment.
This comes amid ongoing updates to the interactive dark ride, which will include a new 'Buddy' show scene tied to Toy Story 5, handheld blasters, real-time score tracking, and a refreshed entrance sign. Part of broader promotional efforts, the post heightens anticipation without revealing specific new details, opening date, or media.
