Expected more

Pros:

Short lines and well air conditioned

Cons:

Score keeper on the gun usually does not work, the cars jerk and sometimes don’t even spin so you can shoot the targets.

Space Ranger Spin is a really fun ride for adults and kiddos alike, as it’s always fun to compete with each other. The theming is fun as well, and the shooting system is easy to pick up and does not destroy your forearm like Toy Story Mania.

All of that being said, it is really difficult to keep track of what is happening on this ride. The guns being attached to the vehicle makes it tough to aim the way you want and it’s really difficult to tell where you are shooting and whether you are hitting the targets the way you want to. Additionally, there is not really any way to tell where the highest point value targets are unless you look up the secrets online. All of this makes the ride a bit frustrating and can take away from the fun competition with your family/friends. If you don’t have any cares about how many points you are getting and how, first of all teach me your ways, but also you likely won’t mind this as much.

Pros:

Fun theming Competition is fun

Cons:

Shooting mechanics are quite confusing and difficult to feel like there is any control over your score

This ride is extraordinary dated and has the worst system for shooting. It needs removable blasters like MiB at universal or the Disneyland version. With the updated rides like toy story mani, this ride’s age really shows. Replacing it and laugh floor would probably be advisable, but at the least it could use an update

Pros:

Good ride for a short wait, with kids

Cons:

Dated, not that much fun.

Wish the gun could be handheld, and the lasers picked up your shots better. It was a really fun ride with great theme but seems like it needs a technology upgrade.

Pros:

Fun theme, love Buzz

Cons:

Needs updating

This ride is perfect for a rainy day or if you have little kids (or a big toy story fan!), but other than that it's a mediocre ride. I love the competition aspect of this ride, but you can get a better toy story competitive ride at Hollywood Studios (Toy Story Mania). The wait times are often too long for me to consider this ride "worth it".

Pros:

interactive ride indoors

Cons:

wait times underwhelming

I have a ride/don't ride relationship with Buzz. If the line is short I will ride it but I wouldn't stand in a 45 minute plus queue. This ride is great fun especially for those of us that love Toy Story. But if the line is long I would wait to see if/when the line quiets down. You do not need to wait for an extensive amount of time.

Pros:

Fun and competitive

Cons:

It is starting to show its age and it can use a bit of an update.

Fun if who you're sitting with is also into it. Otherwise, meh.

Pros:

Fun, nostalgia, and defeating Zurg

Cons:

Some of those guns do not work. It's not my poor aim, I swear.

this is an okay ride - spinning is really fun and it's very interactive. it's fun to try to compete with your group - but overall it's hard to compete with Toy Story Mania in Hollywood Studios. Kids will love it - but as an adult it is not the best option and if you don't have time to spare you could skip this one.

Pros:

buzz lightyear spinning interactive short wait

Cons:

not that fun

Fun ride for the whole family. It is difficult to see where you are shooting, and compared to Toy Story Mania it definitely isn't as fun.

Pros:

Good ride for the whole family.

Cons:

Difficult to aim.
