An interactive dark ride where you shoot laser blasters at targets to score points against Emperor Zurg. You can spin your car with a joystick to aim. Great for competitive families.

Opened: 3 November 1998 (28 years ago)

Best time to ride

Quietest: around 8am (typically ~5 min posted). Busiest: around 6pm (~40 min). In the first 15 minutes after the park opens it typically posts ~5 min.

Typical means the median posted wait across every day in our log at that hour; crowd level, weather and breakdowns move it. For a specific date, the planner adjusts for that day’s forecast crowd.

Posted vs real wait

Disney’s posted waits run high. For Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, a posted 60 minutes at 2pm has typically meant about 44 minutes in line, and at 8pm about 33 (from timed waits people recorded, 2015–2021 — before today’s Lightning Lane system, so treat it as an estimate). DisneyIQ shows both numbers on the live board.
