I used to be a castmember at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin! It definitely needs an update. I used to know all the special spots to shoot to get the highest score, but that was about 11 years ago. I miss all of my Tomorrowland friends!

[@The_Bacon_Dragon]

11 Years ago? Interesting, I remember doing my college internship there around then. I stayed on a second semester for the Spring of 2008 and transferred to attractions in Tomorrowland. I remember I worked Buzz, Monsters Laugh Floor, and the Carousel of Progress.

[@termite9753]

And Toy Story 4 was a "good movie". Who knew?

[@FeatheredWingz]

Haha, how long has it been since you've seen the first Toy Story? (Granted, it's been a while for me too lol.) Woody literally was ready to stay silent and let Buzz rot away in the elements when he accidentally got knocked outside via the window. The original plot had him toss Buzz out outside on purpose! Would've been a murder plot if they weren't actually toys. Woody's ALWAYS been savage. It's cool to almost be rediscovering the characters again though... I haven't even seen the new film yet but I'd actually forgotten Bo Peep existed in this franchise...

[@frostbjorn]

his quip made me actually laugh out loud lol

[@CosplayCore]

@@FeatheredWingz I never forgot Bo Peep... I just wanted her GONE. When Toy Story 3 came around and we heard she had been sold in a garage sale (or something along those lines), I almost PARTIED. Well, I partied too soon. .-. My only tidbit of happiness now is that she didn't kiss Woody at the end of Toy Story 4... My interests in Barbie and Ken and Raggedy Ann and Andy (before you fight me, research them, because Johnny Gruelle, the author who wrote their original stories, NEVER said they were siblings) from a young age got me into this "vein" of thinking that only toys made for each other should be paired up (while I wouldn't criticize someone for not thinking the same way...) and I still do. I get that Pixar and many other people find it more interesting to pair up toys that have major differences and I can see WHY they would do it, but... It just doesn't resonate with me. I've wanted a COWGIRL for Woody since 1995 when mom took 3 year old me to see Toy Story in theaters. When Jessie showed up, that was like... I was SO excited. I LOVED her and I still do, regardless of how things have transpired. But I REALLY wanted Bo out of the picture so Jessie could move in... >n>

[@governor_explosion]

CosplayCore I’ve always liked how you expected Jessie to end up with Woody, and they probably did on the original TV show Woody’s Roundup, but as her own person outside of the TV show, she fell in love with Buzz instead. It’s not what you’d expect, but it’s refreshing. And TS4 made me glad Bo had come back and got a more fleshed out personality. I just wish we’d seen Bo and Jessie interact more (and/or interact with Princess Mira Nova, but Pixar pretends the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon never happened.)

[@oliviasanchez8838]

buzz lightyear’s space ranger spin was one of my favorite rides as a kid, but when I rode it a couple of months ago it stopped 3-4 times and felt super outdated. the waiting area before you reach the buzz animatronic felt super lazy too. I really wish they would update it, because it’s still fun, just a little old.

[@roseheart2110]

It’s so popular, that I don’t think it’s gone down for refurbishment in a while

[@TheDigitalApple]

Olivia Sanchez It’s simply because that Disney is lazy.

[@averyeml]

It is aging pretty rough, and I think a lot of it’s because they threw it up with the idea that it’s gonna be temporary, and then it became SO popular they didn’t see much need to refurbish. I mean in California (idk about the rest) the on-ride photo is at about the quality my Motorola Razr in middle school had and you can only get it by email. I still love it, but when I went at Christmas the most memorable thing about riding it multiple times in a day was that around 10-ish someone dropped an open ranch dipping cup in the line and it was still there after the fireworks. That bugged me more than any outdated-ness.

[@CornerBallparkWb]

the ride has had problems with stopping since it opened as if you had wings in the 70’s. The ride system censors are very sensitive and cause the ride to stop alot

[@BeccaBerneda]

The ride still holds up for me. It has this disconcerting weirdness to it-the garish colors, the plucky soundtrack, the tunnel with the spotty projection and errie CGI targets- that makes it so charming. But they neeeeeed to change the guns at Orlando. They are so difficult to press in and hurt like a bitch to use. I sooner prefer Midway because of how much easier their guns handle.

[@laggymclaggylag5882]

I would be happy if the button was replaced with something newer and the laser actually hit what I aim at (and some sights to be honest). I find the pull string throws my aim off and it tore my finger up last time I was there.

[@KingHarambe_RIP]

The guns should be replaced with the detached free aiming ones from Disneyland. They are much more comfortable to use and add for more strategic gameplay.

[@laggymclaggylag5882]

@@KingHarambe_RIP Then pearl clutchers and people with axes to grind will inevitably complain that "this ride teaches kids how to shoot" and the hit pieces will flow like water. Not saying it's a bad idea, I'm a fan of the detached ones, but they would want to avoid any bad PR, especially after star wars.

[@KingHarambe_RIP]

@@laggymclaggylag5882 They still have the shooting arcade in Frontierland which is much more realistic than the Disneyland Buzz ride. I believe the MIB ride in Universal has a detached gun from the ride vehicle too. I know what you're saying but I don't think we're at that point.

It would be great if they could let you unholster the blasters like all other versions do.

It's really strange seeing Buzz's face without the rest of his head (or his body for that matter), but at the same time, it's cool to see how it looks when it isn't on the Audio Animatronics of Buzz in the rides.

[@topheradkins2275]

At WDW the two best targets are the second one from the top on the Volcano in the first large room to the right, and closer to the end when Zurg is in his ship the target at the very bottom of that ship. Both are worth 120k I believe and if you focus on those 2 alone its not tough to be a galactic hero. I always love it when they have to slow down the ride for a handicapped person though!

[@oliviabradley332]

Topher Adkins volcano is worth 25K, orange robot inner claw and claw on the ceiling as you exit the first room (and your mentioned Zurg target) are all 100K :)

Interestingly, the email you get when you request your ride picture looks to have not been updated since the early 2000s. It's actually kind of a cool time capsule.

[@MrDohers]

8:13 pretty sure the one element of the Space Ranger Spin queue that could not be missed is actually the smell

[@rosenrot234]

Why DOES this ride have that very specific smell?

[@YesterworldEntertainment]

@@rosenrot234 My personal opinion: Too much plastic in the queue, or whatever that floor is made of, that reflects the smells rather than absorb them...this is from absolutely 0% knowledge about how smell reflection works. In all seriousness, it's also a very confined and narrow queue as opposed to Pirates or Indy which you have the vehicle fumes / water to absorb some of the stench in wide open spaces.

[@wherethetatosat]

It had...a smell? Can I get it in the Magic Candle shop?

[@MrDohers]

wherethetatosat It’s just a bit smelly in the inside bit of the queue. it’s certainly not a smell you would want candle of!

[@wherethetatosat]

@@MrDohers True, I just want to experience it at least once, though. I live in southern California, and Astro Blasters doesn't have a smell. And once I've smelled it at least once, I'd give the candle to some weirdo; you *know* there's somebody out there who can't get enough of it.

Around that same time that this attraction came out I remember Disney/Pixar did a spin-off tv show and Direct to home release about Buzz Lightyear being back at his Space Academy. So it was sorta a more in depth back-story for Buzz. I remember the show/movie super well since I was a big fan of it.

Hello, my name is Ron and I should tell you that I was the first WDW Cast Member allowed to operate "Buzz Light Year Space Ranger Spin" when it opened in 1999.

I think that was the trip where my mom had to help convince one parent that their small child probably doesn’t want to ride Alien Encounter. The other parent was quite grateful.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

I went in 2001 when I was 5. I loved both this and Alien Encounter.

Fun fact: Every star cruizer on BLSRS In orlando has a pair of Crystolic Fusion batteries mounted on the back. Every battery pair is screwed in differently as if each vehicle is its own toy (ex: sometimes you can see the logo, sometimes its partially covered, sometimes it shows the back). Thats good attention to detail.

[@memethyst]

i never noticed that

[@carlossoto1715]

To think, for all the success Pixar made during their inception, and for how much people enjoyed Toy Story and A Bug’s Life when it all started, it’s hard to believe they at the same time weren’t as welcoming to attractions based on them at the Disney Parks, initially.

[@CT--lj9ck]

Just a long time fan thing, I like your older intro more. The Back to the future car is more iconic, and I miss how the last intro ended more. It was more detailed. Love your videos though, you’ve been uploading a lot more recently and it’s fantastic. Keep the videos going!

[@christiandacanay3086]

I think this one is just a one time thing as I haven't seen that intro (the flying to Hogwarts one) in later Yesterworld episodes.

[@FANTAVISION]

Definitely one of my favorite rides even to this day and that bumper car version was hilarious when people freaked out as their car spinned!

[@makeitcount821]

I was a cast member here in 2012! Been a Galactic Hero on almost every trip I've taken since. Miss it every day!

"If you had wings" must've inspired that Simpsons episode where they go to a airline theme park and one of the rides sounds exactly like it(minus the airplane mech overlords! XD)

[@toniaburgmeyer8015]

I loooved Astro Blaster in Disney Quest. It was so fun. If you shot your ball at the star on the side of someone else's car, it would spin them around for a few seconds. Disney Quest was the closest to Disney I could get as a kid, so I didn't even know the other versions existed!

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

You were in Chicago? I went to DisneyQuest in 2006 and did the AstroBlaster ride. I also remembered Alien Encounter existed via the Invasion ride...

[@toniaburgmeyer8015]

@@YuukiTakemoto1996 I actually went to the one in Florida, when it was in Downtown Disney.

[@Boom23648]

"It's kind of like... a ride?"

[@CaedusRising]

It's worth mentioning that the Chicago disneyquest also had the bumber car version. And was the first to close when whole place did.

[@MarthaRoseQuartz]

I actually went there at one point. 2000 maybe. We were there to see mamas side of the family. I remember being like "this is the same thing as the orlando one but still AWESOME"

[@natl2042]

The dry puns get me EVERY TIME. Excellent as always.

[@jardex2275]

This brings back fond memories. My parents and I would sign up for a FastPass slot, then get in line to pass the time. I swear we went through it 4 or 5 times in a row. Another note about the ride/game interactivity mentioned at 13:31. There was another ride that used a similar concept. The exit area for Mission Space in WDW had a game where two teams would complete tasks and race rockets. This tied into an online game that could be played on Disney's website. It looks like Space Race is still in the post show area, but I can't find a trace of the online game.

[@fatimasarah.5374]

when i was 5 i went to disneyland, , i remebember when i saw astro blasters, i couldnt read yet, but i saw buzz lightyears face, i begged my parents to let me ride, i loved it so much that i rode astro blasters like 20 times in a row that day, and everytime i go to walt disney world, i ride spaceranger spin atleast 2 or 3 times, its always been one of my favorite disney rides.

[@fatimasarah.5374]

i hope this ride never shuts down, i remember that day so well when i first rode astro blasters as a kid like 20 times in a row, infact i still have my minnie mouse light up toy, that my dad got me during the fireworks from that day, everytime i look at it i think of astroblasters.

[@Exploringthemagic]

Disney needs to update this ride in WDW, the other versions are vastly superior. For example, Disneyland's Different categories for point targets, can take the gun out, the gun confirms it hit the target (player feedback), and its more accurate, the WDW run is so run down its not even funny.

[@joosoo]

I rode it recently and the ride got stuck when we were in the star tunnel with the 360 screen. Starts to hurt your damn eyes after awhile staring at how fuzzy the images on the screen are.

[@Angelx624]

Yeah the one in Disneyland here in California is amazing. :D

[@thefiregodzapp]

I hope that wings ride gets covered because my interest was peeked when it was briefly touched about on a video about eastern airlines a while back.

[@wilbourke4188]

That teaser trailer to Toy Story 2 is one of the best trailers ever!

[@Arcadio_Castellanoz]

OH MY GOD I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE ONLINE GAME I PLAYED IT SO MUCH Thank you for that, I’m actually gonna cry

[@MsDisneylandlover]

also your intro reminds of the music 4 the intro billie jean movie n the 80s

[@diegopabon1678]

Great vid! Would love vids on New Fantasyland '83 and New Tomorrowland '67 (the two-best land refurbishments Disneyland has ever had.)

[@amandaengelman5168]

My family moved to Florida when I was 4 in 1983, so I've been going to Disney since I was pretty young. Some of my most vivid memories of those earliest trips are from If You Had Wings. For some reason I just loved it. I was so sad when they replaced it with this.

[@spindleclown]

This ride is always so much fun, and I always try to hop on at least once whenever I visit WDW. Also, god, I remember the Disney Quest ride. It broke down at least 5 times per round because the balls would jam the car movement.

7:12 Yeah I was one of those kids scarred for life by Alien Encounter. I think it’s partially responsible for my continued aversion to horror movies/games.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

I loved it. I found it funny; granted, I had no idea what was going on.

[@MarthaRoseQuartz]

The only way it scarred me for life was giving me a crush on SIR

[@luissantiago5163]

Haven't watched you in ages. I probably would have loved these rides as a kid. Loved Buzz Lightyear

[@NoUploadJustComment]

Based off a classic film, interactive, incentives for winning, colorful as anything....great ride.

The DisneyQuest bumper cars shooting balls looks rad tbh

I have always thought about the buzz light-year ride I went on when I was extremely young and hardly remembered. 10/10 work thanks.
