Disney's New Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters!

Hey all... kinda quiet in here ain't it?

Anyways... on May 8th Disneyland launched Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride. It looks like a pretty high-tech and fun ride! Here is the press release.

and here is a really great virtual walkthrough of the ride. It also has a neat story with Mira Nova's adventure that goes along with it. Just click on "To Infinite and Beyond"

Wish I could get over to California again sometime to see it. I unfortunately for this, live in Cape Canaveral near the other Disney theme park in Florida at the moment.

Yeah it's the same ride as the one here at Disney World. The only thing different is that the guns are removeable (on a chain of course) and both your gun and target flash when you hit the Zs. Other then that it's the same exact ride as aposed to the original here where the guns are stationary for the most part and you have to guss wethor or not you actually hit anything.
Unfortuneatly there's no Mira back story, that was a little fic the creaters of that site wrote to go along with it to spruce up their page, not cast or actual ride related or anything like that, they had one on there also to go along with the Club Buzz they have on there.
My roomate lives in Cali. he's going back there for the actual 50th next month for a week or so. Lol he has orders to get me a pin and or shirt from Astro Balasters.
I'd like to down load it but unfortunately I'm useing my roomates comp and I don't want to down laod random junk on here.

Cool buzz!

Yeah... I went on in a few days ago with my GF. I was kinda disappointed. (remembers that this is a ride for people much younger then 22 years) ::) If I was still 10 I would of totally ripped apart the kid behind me who pointed the laser dot in my eye.

I remember looking at all the posters and scenery as I went in and it showed many of the worlds in the galactic alliance that didn't exist in the series. Oh well. The only thing that was familiar was crystolic fusion reactors.

I have heard that they have improved the art and stuff in the California ride. Maybe if if I get out there again I will check it out!
I am glad I got all the episodes on DVD now. My guess is that the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command series (if released) will be released around the time Toy Story 3 comes out.

Good luck to all your endeavors in Orlando Buzz!

John

Yeah the art in Cali is a little more like the series, Star Command looks like Star command and all that jazz, but it's the same TS Buzz design. Their big talking Buzz is the same as ours only they put a gun in his hand which looks retarded scince Buzz never uses a gun except sometimes Hornet arms.
I still ride Space Ranger Spin, I just like to blast things with a laser lol. But now that summer is here the lines are too freaking long, a 45 minute wait is not worth it.

Hopefully they'll put them on DVD, that would be awsome. Toy Story 3 though.. yikes, not too sure how "awsome" that will be.
