Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is a fun and exciting ride at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It’s based on Toy Story and takes you on an adventure through space with Buzz Lightyear. The story is simple: the evil Emperor Zurg is stealing batteries to power a dangerous weapon, and Buzz needs your help to stop him!
You’ll hop into a space cruiser called the XP-40, which has two laser blasters and a joystick. The joystick lets you spin your cruiser around while you ride. Your job is to aim and shoot at glowing “Z” targets on Zurg’s robot helpers. Every time you hit a target, you earn points. At the end of the ride, you’ll see your score and find out your Star Command rank—from Space Cadet (beginner) up to Galactic Hero (expert)!
This ride is cool because you can play against your friends and family to see who gets the highest score. It’s like a video game mixed with a ride; every time you go on it, it’s a little different. You can keep improving your score and try to beat your record.
The ride has bright lights, glowing colors, and moving robot characters that make you feel like you’re in space. You’ll hear exciting music by Randy Newman, the same person who did the music for the Toy Story movies. The ride moves smoothly so everyone can enjoy the mission without any significant drops or scary parts.
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is in Tomorrowland and is perfect for all ages—even little kids can ride. You don’t need to be tall to go on it, and you can check the wait time or get a Lightning Lane pass on the Disneyland app to skip the line.
Even though the ride has been around for a while, many people still love it because it’s fun, colorful, and full of adventure. It’s a great way to feel like a real space hero and help Buzz Lightyear save the day. If you love games, space battles, and Toy Story, this ride is one you won’t want to miss!
