Buzz Lightyear Rehab???

[youngdizluva18]

How is the Buzz Lightyear ride in the Magic Kingdom after its rehab? What did they change/fix???

Don't think anything changed - fresh paint, some new blasters, etc.

I thought I heard that the blasters are no longer stationary on the ride vehicle. Is this true?

What do you mean stationary? They always rotated and still do as of Friday...

I think she means whether they can be removed from their place. This was done when the attraction was intro'ed at DL but as far as I know not done at WDW.

Thank you snowy76. I've heard that they're going to make it like the DL ride where the blasters can be picked up off of the ride vehicle.

Not even THAT...

When the ride opened a full week AHEAD of the announced re-opening date, most of the ride-vehicles were NOTnewly-painted, but were still chipped, scratched and dirty.

There WERE lots of "new" blasters mixed in with the old ones (new ones were a brighter color than the old ones).

The blasters are all still affixed to the cars.

I figure that since this was about the same time the Pixar aquisition was announced, Disney brass decided to save the money on an expensive new PAINT-JOB for Buzz, to help make up some of the 7.4 BILLION DOLLARS that was paid to Steve Jobs for his animation company.

I for one, am thankful it opened early because I've never been on it, either has my family. But for a rehap, we thought some areas looked kind of shabby. My husband got a bad lazer a couple of times (or so he says). Maybe he's just mad I beat him every time, lol. Still a fun ride. We rode it 7 times one day. Could get right back on after we got off.
