'''Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin''' in [[Magic Kingdom|Florida]] (also known as '''Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters''' atin [[Disneyland|California]], [[Tokyo Disneyland|Tokyo]] and [[Hong KongTokyo Disneyland|Hong Kong]], '''Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast''' atin [[Disneyland Park (Paris)|Paris]] and '''Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue''' atin [[Shanghai Disneyland|Shanghai]]) is an interactive [[shooting]] [[dark rides|dark ride]] attraction located in the [[Tomorrowland (Disney Parks)|Tomorrowland]] area of the [[Disney parks|Disney theme parks]]. Designed by [[Walt Disney Imagineering]], this attraction combines a [[carnival game]] and a third-generation [[Omnimover]] system. It is inspired by [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]/[[Pixar]]'s ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'' franchise, and contains several elements loosely based on the cartoon series ''[[Buzz Lightyear of Star Command]]''.

The attraction first opened at [[Magic Kingdom]] on November 3, 1998. Subsequent versions can be found at [[Tokyo Disneyland]], [[Disneyland]], [[Disneyland Park (Paris)|Disneyland Park]] in Paris, and [[Shanghai Disneyland]]. Although each ride may have a different name, all share the same major plot and characters. The ride formerly existed at [[Hong Kong Disneyland]] under the name ''Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters'', but was closed in September 2017. For a brief period from the Shanghai version's opening in 2016 until the Hong Kong version's closure in 2017, the attraction was only one of two that could be found at all six Disney castle parks worldwide (the other attraction being [[Dumbo the Flying Elephant]]).<ref>[[List of Disney theme park attractions]]</ref>{{Circular reference|date=October 2020}}

"Astro Blasters" and "Space Ranger Spin" are equal parts shooting gallery and dark ride. Visitors board an Omnimover space vehicle featuring two laser pistols and a joystick. The pistols are used to shoot laser beams at targets of varying point values. Targets that are hit while lit up will produce much higher scores. A digital readout on the dashboard shows the player's score. The joystick allows full 360-degree rotation of the vehicle to assist in aiming. During the ride, if the ride slows down or completely stops (this is a result of either a handicappeddisabled guest or a ride breakdown), this allows for "bonus points" as the pistols and targets do not turn off. There are 4 different shaped targets which are worth different numbers of points: round (100 points), square (1,000 points), diamond (5,000 points), and triangle (10,000 points).

The Tokyo version is the original version of the ride and all of the ride's audio is in Japanese. At Hong Kong Disneyland, the ride is also called Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and is extremely similar to the Tokyo version, with a more elaborate queue. The Hong Kong version features English dialogue, though safety announcements are trilingual. Those two versions also featured a floating Planet Z outside of the space ship. On November 22, 2016, Disney announced that the Hong Kong version of the ride would be closing on August 31, 2017. In its place was the park's second Marvel-themed ride, [[Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dlpguide.com/news/2016/11/hong-kong-disneyland-will-rebuild-its-castle-in-a-1-4-billion-expansion-project/|title=Hong Kong Disneyland will rebuild its castle in a $1.4 billion expansion project|date=November 22, 2016 }}</ref>, which was become became part of starka new land, [[Avengers Campus|Stark Expo]]. However, Tokyo Disneyland's version is still operating today, until it was announced on April 26, 2024 that this version would close in October of that year, to be replaced with an attraction themed to the ''[[Wreck-It Ralph (franchise)|Wreck-It Ralph]]'' franchise to open in 2026.<ref name="disneygeek.com"/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://wdwnt.com/2024/04/buzz-lightyear-ride-closing-forever-at-tokyo-disneyland-wreck-it-ralph-attraction-coming-to-new-tomorrowland/|title=Buzz Lightyear Ride Closing Forever at Tokyo Disneyland, Wreck-It Ralph Attraction Coming to New Tomorrowland|date=April 26, 2024}}</ref>
