Though Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom has been closed since August 2025, the ride’s entrance was still visible for the past several months. Now, construction walls are blocking it from view.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Construction Walls

The walls wrap around the front of the building, underneath the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover track. They jut out into the walkway significantly, likely to make space for a construction vehicle.

The walls come soon after Disney filed a permit for installation of new Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin signage. Sign replacements and any other updates to the façade will take place behind these walls in the coming weeks. Space Ranger Spin will reopen this spring.

The walls stop before the extended outdoor queue and the gift shop, although the store is also closed.

Over the walls, we could see the ride’s signs were still in place.

From the PeopleMover, we saw a few minor changes to the façade. There are some twisted metal elements on the ground.

Pieces of green paneling were removed from the 3D frame around the doorways. The above picture shows some of the paneling missing.

And in this picture, the panels are visible sitting on the ground nearby.

For reference, below is a better picture of the ride’s entrance from immediately after it closed.

The walls went up overnight (January 11-12) following the conclusion of Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend.

When the ride reopens, it will have updated interactive targets, new handheld blasters on new ride vehicles, and new scenes featuring original character Buddy and Buzz fighting Zurg.
