Large Hole Dug in Front of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom

During our visit to Magic Kingdom today, February 5, we noticed a very large hole in front of the entrance to the attraction. In the hole is a new wooden structure. It only has a few vertical elements right now but this could be a new entrance structure.

This could possibly be some prep work related to adding a concrete foundation.

There appears to be a couple of metal poles with some wiring at the back of the structure. The walls next to the entry doors also have new gray panels. The former entrance archway and signs were removed in mid January. Crews began to tear up the pavement soon after.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin has been closed since August 2025 for a major overhaul. It’s receiving new vehicles with handheld blasters, interactive targets, updated scenes, and more. Check out our last look at Space Ranger Spin before its closure and watch our video POV below.
