Based on the character from the Pixar film "Toy Story," this ride is a bit like being inside a giant video game. Riders shoot at targets and score points, with one controlling the vehicle and both "blasting" away.

Advice About Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

  • Some of the targets are nested, with another one revealed only after you hit the first one. One of these is located on the Alien jack-in-the-box on Planet Z, which has three targets, each worth more points than the last. The "hidden" targets are worth a lot of points.
  • If a character is wearing blue and green, they're a good guy, and you won't find any targets on them.
  • It may just our bad luck, but this ride seems to break down a lot. Ride it when you can.
