News Summary

  • Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin has reopened at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
  • The attraction has always been a competitive shooter-style ride, but the new version is built to be far more responsive and dynamic in how it reacts to guests in real time.
  • The most technically surprising aspect of the refurbishment isn't something guests will see — it's what's running beneath the surface, powered by Epic Games' Unreal Engine.
  • It's a notably different application of game engine technology than what Disney typically uses in major attractions.
