Disney World always keeps its rides up to date and working properly to ensure a great guest experience.
Magic Kingdom
Disney will often close rides to do refurbishments for routine maintenance, or sometimes rides won’t even have to close down for the Imagineers to make small adjustments. Depending on the maintenance, refurbishments can take less than a day to do or over a year (as will be the case with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad). A new permit that we spotted for another Magic Kingdom ride hints that maintenance of some kind is coming soon.
According to a new notice of commencement filed by Walt Disney Imagineering with Orange County, Florida, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will be getting new projectors installed! The address filed is 1305 Monorail Way, Bay Lake, FL, which is the address for the Magic Kingdom ride.

The contractor named for the projector job is Maddox Electric Company of Winter Garden, FL. It’s likely that this installation will be quick and easy, and hopefully, we won’t see the ride needing to close for an extended time to make the updates.

The Toy Story-themed ride takes you on an adventure with Buzz Lightyear to destroy Evil Emperor Zerg. You’ll go through the ride on slow-moving vehicles to shoot the ‘Z’s’ and take down Zerg and save the galaxy! It’s a fun family ride that is completely interactive.
Help Buzz defeat Zurg!
We’ll keep our eyes out for any closure announcements just in case the ride does need to close; however, that is unlikely. We’re glad to see this ride get some love and updates!

Buzz needs a total refresh; the ride seems like an ancient prequel to the 21st century Toy Story Mania at HS. OR, as part of a makeover, maybe even a different IP altogether (‘shudder’). Definitely needs new technology…
Glad they aren’t ripping it out and putting up more ugly construction walls. Enough is enough.
The attractions have street addresses? You just blew my mind
