<\/a>Help Buzz defeat Zurg<\/p>\nIf you are, you\u2019ll want to head straight to Buzz Lightyear\u2019s Space Ranger Spin<\/a> in Magic Kingdom<\/a> when it reopens with ALL new updates<\/a> on April 8th. However, we got to check out the ride during an early preview, and let\u2019s just say, a LOT has changed. Let\u2019s talk about what we learned while riding it.<\/p>\n Buzz Lightyear\u2019s Space Ranger Spin got a massive update, including new ride vehicles, new scenes, and new interactive targets. The ride also got a new scene with a brand new character<\/a>, Buddy, who will train you how to become a Galactic Hero. The ride also features a ton of fun hidden details<\/a> you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n We had the opportunity to ride the updated attraction EARLY, and we\u2019re going to share with you five things we learned while riding it.<\/p>\n How to hold the blaster<\/p>\n The blasters on the ride are new, and they now detach from the holster, so you can hold them however you\u2019d like. But there\u2019s a way to hold them that will help you hit more targets, and we\u2019re going to tell you how.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a trick to correctly holding the blaster so that your aim is steady and you can hit targets easily. You\u2019ll want to hold it with one finger on the trigger, and then the other hand on the bottom of the blaster. This will give you the stability you need to better aim at targets, so you can actually hit them.<\/p>\n Hold the trigger<\/p>\n The key to scoring more points with the new blaster is to continuously hold down the trigger, rather than pressing it each time you try to hit a target. Just keep your finger pressed in on the trigger and aim at each target, and you\u2019re sure to rack up a ton of points.<\/p>\n This will make it easier for you to actually hit those targets.<\/p>\n Point blaster at flashing and illuminated white targets<\/p>\n Some targets are random, and you\u2019ll see them as flashing or illuminated in white. Those targets are worth more points, so if you see them, be sure to aim at them first so you can score more points.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll want to be sure to keep an eye out, so you can move the vehicle in that direction and aim.<\/p>\n You can now score higher than Galactic Hero<\/p>\n Previously, the highest score you could get on Buzz Lightyear\u2019s Space Ranger Spin was 999,999 points, which earned you the title (and a sticker) of Galactic Hero. However, now you can go OVER that, which means you\u2019re technically a Galactic Hero and THEN SOME.<\/p>\n Now, though, you need to hit 1,000,000 to become a Galactic Hero, so be sure to work on getting those targets worth more points!<\/p>\n Each person in the car has their own color<\/p>\n When you get in the ride vehicle, you\u2019ll notice that one person has a green blaster and the other has a red. Each target also now lets you know when you hit it by either turning red or green.<\/p>\n<\/a>Meet Buddy<\/p>\n<\/a>New blasters<\/p>\n<\/a>Hold down the trigger on the blaster to get more points<\/p>\n<\/a>if you see flashing targets or targets illuminated in white, HIT THEM for more points<\/p>\n<\/a>The scoreboard!<\/p>\n
