The Making of New Space Ranger Spin Blaster Sounds\"Imagineering<\/a><\/p>\n

Walt Disney Imagineering shared a brief look behind the scenes at the sound design work that went into revamping Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom. <\/p>\n

In the short clip, Miguel, a sound editor\/mixer with Imagineering, explained the surprising source audio used for the satisfying \u201cpew pew\u201d sound effect embedded in the ride\u2019s handheld blasters: a toy slinky.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the sound of a suspended slinky being struck is one of five elements that comprise the final sound effects used for the blasters found on the Space Ranger Spin ride vehicles.<\/p>\n

The slinky sound is adjusted in a digital environment, layered with additional audio elements (which may include duplicating itself), resulting in the satisfying sound riders hear when pulling the trigger on the improved ride blasters. <\/p>\n

A separate, fuller sound effect plays when riders successfully hit one of the glowing targets throughout the attraction. As Miguel explains, two more audio elements are layered onto the slinky sound effect to generate the higher-pitched \u201csuccess\u201d sound.<\/p>\n
