Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin Still Closed Tonight
Published October 21, 2026
Live now: Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin wait & status
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom has been continuously showing as closed since 5:55 PM ET on Tuesday, October 20, according to SupaPark’s own live ride-status tracking. As of 8:04 PM ET that same evening, the Tomorrowland shooter had been down 2h 9m straight, and its status had not changed.
As of Tuesday, October 20, the ride was still reading closed. SupaPark’s tracking samples ride status in five-minute snapshots, and the outage falls inside the attraction’s own observed operating window for the day — this is a mid-day stoppage, not the ride winding down for a scheduled park closing.
SupaPark’s data also puts this in context: it is the longest continuous outage measured for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin in the trailing 30 days. For a high-capacity Tomorrowland attraction that normally cycles all day, a stretch this long is unusual rather than the typical few-minute hiccup guests are used to.

What’s not confirmed
Disney has not announced a cause for the closure and has not given a reopening time. SupaPark’s tracking records whether the ride is running, not why it stopped, so nothing here establishes a mechanical issue, a weather hold, or a planned closure. Whether the attraction cycled again before park close on Tuesday, October 20 is also not established by this data.
What it means for your trip
- If you were holding a Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, treat it as unusable while the ride reads closed and plan your next move in My Disney Experience rather than walking to Tomorrowland on spec.
- Buzz is an indoor, air-conditioned, dark ride, so it does double duty as a heat and rain break. If it stays down, the nearest indoor swap in Tomorrowland is Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor; Space Mountain and the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover are the other in-land options when they’re running.
- Families counting on Buzz as the low-intensity Tomorrowland pick should know the substitutes aren’t equivalent: Space Mountain is a dark coaster with a height requirement, which is a different ask for a small kid.
- Outages this long tend to dump a backlog of guests into neighboring standby lines, so expect the rest of Tomorrowland to run heavier than the hour before.
- SupaPark tracks live ride status and will alert you when a standby wait craters to walk-on, which is the realistic way to catch a reshuffled Tomorrowland evening without standing there guessing.
