Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters


After receiving your final score and rank standing, guests disembark their vehicles and exit down a very long hallway. For as small of a space as Disney Imagineers had placing this attraction inside the former Circle-Vision theater, it seemed too bad that so much space was devoted to the exit hallway.



A look at the exit hallway from the end. The arrows on the wall point guests in the direction they are supposed to travel to leave the building.



Another mural inside the building, this particular piece is duplicated inside the room where Buzz briefs riders as to their adventure. It gives an overall look to Buzz Lightyear's galaxy.



An on-ride camera takes pictures of guests while aboard their spaceships. At the end of the ride, guests can find their photos and email them to friends and family.



It looks like they may synchronize your final score with the picture, which would be pretty neat. All the scores this day read "0." It took about two days for the four pictures we emailed to reach their destination.



Signage at the end of the ride indicates that you can access the attraction at this URL. In addition to the on-ride play, guests at home will be able to join in on the fun with an interactive game via the Internet.



Monitors above the email stations gave a preview of what the online game will look like. The interactive portion will be similar to Mission:Space Race Online where at-home guests will participate with theme park guests, this time with people actually on the attraction.



There are actually two exits out of the show building, one that goes into the Buzz Lightyear-themed store and this one that leads directly outside. It may be difficult to get to either of them depending on how many people are in line to email their ride photos home. And while I appreciated not being forced into the store upon my exit, it seemed to just be additional corridor space that perhaps could have been better used?
