Why you should experience Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in Los Angeles, California.
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is an interactive space adventure where glowing targets, spinning star cruisers, and the lively energy of Pixar's Toy Story universe turn guests into Space Rangers on a mission to defeat the evil Emperor Zurg.
Located inside Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park just steps from Star Tours and near the entrance to Space Mountain, this fast-moving attraction places riders inside two-person star cruisers equipped with laser blasters. The moment the ride begins, the mission is clear: travel through a glowing galaxy filled with robots, alien worlds, and animated targets while firing lasers to score points and help Buzz Lightyear save the universe. The star cruisers rotate freely, letting riders aim their blasters in every direction as flashing lights and arcade-style sounds fill the darkened scenes. The result feels part ride, part game, and entirely playful.
What you should know about Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters debuted in 2005 as part of a major update to Tomorrowland, transforming the space previously occupied by an earlier Disney attraction into a fully interactive ride experience.
The concept draws from the Toy Story films, where Buzz Lightyear serves as a heroic Space Ranger sworn to protect the galaxy from the villainous Emperor Zurg. Imagineers designed the ride to feel like stepping into a giant arcade game, combining traditional ride scenes with interactive laser targets that allow guests to compete for points. Each star cruiser includes spinning controls so riders can rotate their vehicle toward targets hidden throughout the scenes. Points accumulate as guests hit different targets, and the final score determines each rider's rank within the Space Ranger Corps.
