TSM ride?

Is TSM the same ride as Buzz, just a different theme?

No, it's very different.

At their core, they're a similar concept. They're both shooter games. But the execution is very different imo.
In Buzz, you have continuously moving ride vehicles with real, 3D targets. In TSM, the ride vehicles start and stop and you are shooting at screens.
But imo TSM is better.

The rides have a different "feel" to them. TSM is amazing. It is one of our favs. It seems more modern that Buzz, I love Buzz, but TSM is so much fun. Don't miss it!

We don't miss either, every trip! 3D glasses on TSM, kind of Nintendo extreme on the Midway.! You spin your own car on Buzz, and shoot a laser at target to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg. Both great rides for all ages!

I would say Buzz is a video game come to life, which you're part of. TSM is more of a 3d carnival video game. Both fun for everyone.

It so much fun!!! We love TSM, and the best part is that you compete against the others in your car and at the end they tell you who had the high score I'm very competitive lol

In my opinion, TSMM is 10000 times better that Buzz. I literally would ride 10 times a day if it wasn't for that pesky 120 minute wait time...we do ride Buzz also, once or twice.

Still waiting for them to track your scores on MDE.

TSMM is much more fun BUT it makes me queasy sometimes. Other than the teacups, it is the only attraction that has ever done that to me.

That's a great idea! I can't believe they haven't done that yet.

No, TSMM was a lot of fun. Buzz, after having ridden in DL and loving it, was a crashing disappointment. We won't bother with Buzz in Florida on future trips. We'll do TSMM on both coasts because it's great. (But yes, it could make you queasy if you don't like spinning.)

We try to ride TSMM 5 times each visit. Once with a FP then 4 more times during the last hour of operation when the line gets really short. I haven't found a way to get any more rides.

It spins????

 

[Love Tink]

It spins????

They both spin.

 

[JohnDaleswife]

They both spin.

Ah oh, may be a problem for me then. Ughhh.

Well on Buzz you have a chance to be a hero, Toy Story........um no "free" incentives.

Okay I'm not actually a fan of either (ridden them both once before) but last trip I decided to see if I could max out the game. One of the vloggers I watch was always doing it and did a tutorial, so I planned multiple rides, studied the tips and tricks online and rode 5 times and caught a break on the last trip. Got my button, but not sure how much I'll ride it in the future, though I have grown fonder of it now that I know there is a way to win.

If TSMM gave me a button I might actually ride it again.

No where near - I don't really care for Buzz Lightyear ride, but TSM is my all around favorite!

I get horrible motion sickness and I ride both of these. They don't spin like the tea cups. You can make your vehicle spin on Buzz or just move it around a bit to see targets in other spots. On TSMM, the vehicle turns to get to another screen, but doesn't full on spin all the time. They are both fun to ride and score.

Exactly the same for me. Teacups make me want to hurl, but the way TSMM kind of whips you around the corner after shooting at one screen, then being stationary again while you shoot at the next screen isn't really "spinning" to me. Ditto Buzz - you or your ride partner decide whether and how much your vehicle turns, but it doesn't spin 'round and 'round.
