Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m on yesterworld or defunctland
Hourly struggle
Exactly the same problem I have too.
Same
Well Defunctland makes his videos out to be a highly ruled tv show, while Yesterworld makes his videos... actually be videos
Makeda B. Lol forgot there was a difference
6:05 damn Woody was a straight up savage
And Toy Story 4 was a "good movie". Who knew?
Haha, how long has it been since you've seen the first Toy Story? (Granted, it's been a while for me too lol.) Woody literally was ready to stay silent and let Buzz rot away in the elements when he accidentally got knocked outside via the window. The original plot had him toss Buzz out outside on purpose! Would've been a murder plot if they weren't actually toys. Woody's ALWAYS been savage. It's cool to almost be rediscovering the characters again though... I haven't even seen the new film yet but I'd actually forgotten Bo Peep existed in this franchise...
his quip made me actually laugh out loud lol
@@FeatheredWingz
I never forgot Bo Peep... I just wanted her GONE. When Toy Story 3 came around and we heard she had been sold in a garage sale (or something along those lines), I almost PARTIED.
Well, I partied too soon. .-. My only tidbit of happiness now is that she didn't kiss Woody at the end of Toy Story 4... My interests in Barbie and Ken and Raggedy Ann and Andy (before you fight me, research them, because Johnny Gruelle, the author who wrote their original stories, NEVER said they were siblings) from a young age got me into this "vein" of thinking that only toys made for each other should be paired up (while I wouldn't criticize someone for not thinking the same way...) and I still do. I get that Pixar and many other people find it more interesting to pair up toys that have major differences and I can see WHY they would do it, but... It just doesn't resonate with me.
I've wanted a COWGIRL for Woody since 1995 when mom took 3 year old me to see Toy Story in theaters. When Jessie showed up, that was like... I was SO excited. I LOVED her and I still do, regardless of how things have transpired. But I REALLY wanted Bo out of the picture so Jessie could move in... >n>
CosplayCore I’ve always liked how you expected Jessie to end up with Woody, and they probably did on the original TV show Woody’s Roundup, but as her own person outside of the TV show, she fell in love with Buzz instead. It’s not what you’d expect, but it’s refreshing. And TS4 made me glad Bo had come back and got a more fleshed out personality. I just wish we’d seen Bo and Jessie interact more (and/or interact with Princess Mira Nova, but Pixar pretends the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon never happened.)
I used to be a castmember at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin! It definitely needs an update. I used to know all the special spots to shoot to get the highest score, but that was about 11 years ago. I miss all of my Tomorrowland friends!
Bro I loved that ride so much I went on it twice!! I was little then lol
11 Years ago? Interesting, I remember doing my college internship there around then. I stayed on a second semester for the Spring of 2008 and transferred to attractions in Tomorrowland. I remember I worked Buzz, Monsters Laugh Floor, and the Carousel of Progress.
I rode it like a few months ago, and the ride is surprisingly harder than I a thought it would be
The most interesting thing about Space Ranger Spin is that the sign's got the font from the poster of Tommy Wiseau's landmark hit film "The Room" on it.
"What a toy story, Mark!"
The amount of times I got "Oh Hey Mark" in college....oy
Jomaster The Second
holy shit why haven’t I noticed that lmao
everyone betrayed me, I’m fed up with this realm
And also, his new film, the … thing with the … shark.
Buzz: What would Toy Story 2 be without Buzz Lightyear
Woody: A good movie
Damn Woody wasnt playing even back in the day
He played less back then than today!
Kiki the Dork What is an oof?
Freddy Richards I dunno what you mean but ok
@@freddyrichards878 Woody told a time traveling god-wizard that no one ever loved him as a child THIS YEAR! czcams.com/video/k7yESis3lKw/video.html
No and yes Yes and no the sound that you make when you die in roblox
the first time i went to disneyland my family got stuck on the end of this and by the time we got off we could recite the entire speech buzz gave off he said it so many times.
Same with Danny and the WDW version in 2016.
I've been using your videos and Defunct lands videos to learn trivia for when I went with my grandparents. It's our second of three days we're spending at the park. Thank you for being so entertaining.
Steve Steve hope you’re enjoying your trip so far!!! Make the most of the last day!
In Orlando, it's not too hard to get Galactic Hero. Just hit these targets:
ROOM 1
Robot's left hand (back hand) - 100K
Spin around and hit the middle of the claw - 100k (or maybe 50k...I can't remember this one for sure)
ROOM 2
Top of the volcano - 25k (but you get a lot of opportunities to hit it)
ROOM 3
Small target at the bottom of Zerg's ship - 100k
ROOM 4
Bottom of Zerg's ship - 10k (your vehicle locks in place, so this is really only for topping off if you're close to 999,999)
Snap a photo of your score on your phone and show it to the cast member in the gift shop. They'll give you a sticker or button, usually.
Does this trick work too in other Astro Blasters in Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland?
Orrrrr just show a fake picture from the internet 😜
Last year when I was there they stopped giving out buttons and stickers
i love how there's a cheat sheet for a disney ride skdjskl. ty for this
does the claw after the robot arm not give 100k anymore?
Now thanks to the Fox Merger the Xenomorph Queen is a Disney Princess.
So is Anastasia!
And their debt is too high.
Lol

So is Lois Griffin and Marge Simpson.

May be referencing the fact you can hear the speakers in front of you in the ride. Adding a double audio affect
@@mehgend3914 Either your answer was absolutely correct (it's one of the most memorable parts of the ride after all!) or it was a genuine accident by the editor. I'm betting 100-to-1 odds that it's the former.
A Day in White if it is a mistake I’m going to die of laughter
@@ADayinWhite I figured it was referencing the Buzz clones in Toy Story 2, like they're all trying to say the same thing at once.
you forgot the most popular name! the buzz lightyear ride
Elise Erickson and because of Toy Story Mania, “That Buzz Lightyear Ride”
To me and my family, it's literally just "Buzz Lightyear". Like "We going on Buzz Lightyear next" when discussing what rides to do.
I grew up watching the animated TV series on Toon Disney, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. I still have a toy ship from the TV show that I got at the Disney Store. And I love Space Ranger Spin trying to become a Galactic Hero which I’ve done a few times
Man I miss Toon Disney... I hope we have something akin to it on Disney+ with all those forgotten animated shows
Me too I thought I was the only one that remembered that show! I love Space Ranger Spin too I just haven’t ridden it much in my last trips to Disney
Why are you on every CZcams comment section???
You're everywhere!
Funny enough I did watch a scene from that show when it aired on Toon Disney, as well as a few episodes but not much (The Weekenders were my favorite more than the other shows. Llod in space was a cool idea, and the other ones were okay at best. But Jetix, OH MAN that one was my favorite one.)
When Buzz said, "what would Toy Story 2 be without Buzz Lightyear?", all I could think was the irony that the film was almost entirely deleted by pressing the wrong code. So it almost didn't have Buzz Lightyear.....or anyone else for that matter.
Delta Dream Flight was the best, you’d pick up a quick service lunch and drink. Sneak it on to the ride and you’d eat in nice cool AC! It was pretty too!
ThatsSoDanny .
Wait... That’s illegal
As someone whos been to WDW a lot ive seen that many times
We built Space Ranger Spin for the parks to go to infinity and beyond
Michael Eisner are you the real deal?
Hey mike. I love your family guu cameos lol
Our lord and savior. I am honored to be in the same comment thread as you,sir
Be seo of Disney again Michael Eisner
@@jacobgelman r/therewasanattempt
I *loved* Toy Story (and particularly Buzz Lightyear) as a kid, and this ride was by far my favorite whenever I went to WDW. I went on it when I went back a couple of years ago, and it still holds up IMO.
Martha loved the series back in the day, enough to have seen that *one* DVD of the sequel where High Fidelity clips accidentally got added in.
@@YuukiTakemoto1996yes I was like "TF is this"
buzz lightyear’s space ranger spin was one of my favorite rides as a kid, but when I rode it a couple of months ago it stopped 3-4 times and felt super outdated. the waiting area before you reach the buzz animatronic felt super lazy too. I really wish they would update it, because it’s still fun, just a little old.
It’s so popular, that I don’t think it’s gone down for refurbishment in a while
Olivia Sanchez It’s simply because that Disney is lazy.
It is aging pretty rough, and I think a lot of it’s because they threw it up with the idea that it’s gonna be temporary, and then it became SO popular they didn’t see much need to refurbish. I mean in California (idk about the rest) the on-ride photo is at about the quality my Motorola Razr in middle school had and you can only get it by email.
I still love it, but when I went at Christmas the most memorable thing about riding it multiple times in a day was that around 10-ish someone dropped an open ranch dipping cup in the line and it was still there after the fireworks. That bugged me more than any outdated-ness.
the ride has had problems with stopping since it opened as if you had wings in the 70’s. The ride system censors are very sensitive and cause the ride to stop alot
6:03 “What would Toy Story 2 be without _Buzz Lightyear?!”_
*”A good movie.”*
Oof Size:
_LARGE_
At WDW the two best targets are the second one from the top on the Volcano in the first large room to the right, and closer to the end when Zurg is in his ship the target at the very bottom of that ship. Both are worth 120k I believe and if you focus on those 2 alone its not tough to be a galactic hero. I always love it when they have to slow down the ride for a handicapped person though!
Topher Adkins volcano is worth 25K, orange robot inner claw and claw on the ceiling as you exit the first room (and your mentioned Zurg target) are all 100K :)
The ride still holds up for me. It has this disconcerting weirdness to it-the garish colors, the plucky soundtrack, the tunnel with the spotty projection and errie CGI targets- that makes it so charming. But they neeeeeed to change the guns at Orlando. They are so difficult to press in and hurt like a bitch to use. I sooner prefer Midway because of how much easier their guns handle.
I would be happy if the button was replaced with something newer and the laser actually hit what I aim at (and some sights to be honest). I find the pull string throws my aim off and it tore my finger up last time I was there.
The guns should be replaced with the detached free aiming ones from Disneyland. They are much more comfortable to use and add for more strategic gameplay.
@@KingHarambe_RIP Then pearl clutchers and people with axes to grind will inevitably complain that "this ride teaches kids how to shoot" and the hit pieces will flow like water. Not saying it's a bad idea, I'm a fan of the detached ones, but they would want to avoid any bad PR, especially after star wars.
@@laggymclaggylag5882 They still have the shooting arcade in Frontierland which is much more realistic than the Disneyland Buzz ride. I believe the MIB ride in Universal has a detached gun from the ride vehicle too. I know what you're saying but I don't think we're at that point.
It would be great if they could let you unholster the blasters like all other versions do.
To Yesterworld... and Beyond!
I love how you can kinda hear him smirk at his own Alien Encounter joke. Well done, certainly made me chuckle as well.
Ikr?^^
S.I.R. is hot... Corey Burton should voice him if he ever appears again.
I love the clips of the kids describing the ride XD
Also I just remembered that one time when I was a kid we were leaving the ride, and my family got chosen to have a special fast pass thing that we could tear off of and use for lots of rides. It was so exciting :)
Interestingly, the email you get when you request your ride picture looks to have not been updated since the early 2000s. It's actually kind of a cool time capsule. I remember going to WDW in 2006, pre-smartphone, and having to wait until I got home to open up the email and see my ride photos. Good times.
It's Y2K at its finest. Y2K + raygun gothic = cybervillain.
I remember going to that attraction twice in Orlando with my family. The second time I got the 999.999 score, and the crew members gave me a prize of absolutely nothing.
It's really strange seeing Buzz's face without the rest of his head (or his body for that matter), but at the same time, it's cool to see how it looks when it isn't on the Audio Animatronics of Buzz in the rides.
The nostalgia of the double audio at the end just warmed my heart
Imagine riding "Dreamflight" at Magic Kingdom one day, going to EPCOT the next day, and then coming back to Magic Kingdom to find the ride under a different name and with different music.
How do you beat flying over the world?
Flying through *SPACE!!!!*
WITH CYBERVILLAIN ALL OVER THE PLACE!!
8:13 pretty sure the one element of the Space Ranger Spin queue that could not be missed is actually the smell
Why DOES this ride have that very specific smell?
@@rosenrot234 My personal opinion: Too much plastic in the queue, or whatever that floor is made of, that reflects the smells rather than absorb them...this is from absolutely 0% knowledge about how smell reflection works. In all seriousness, it's also a very confined and narrow queue as opposed to Pirates or Indy which you have the vehicle fumes / water to absorb some of the stench in wide open spaces.
It had...a smell? Can I get it in the Magic Candle shop?
wherethetatosat It’s just a bit smelly in the inside bit of the queue. it’s certainly not a smell you would want candle of!
@@MrDohers True, I just want to experience it at least once, though. I live in southern California, and Astro Blasters doesn't have a smell. And once I've smelled it at least once, I'd give the candle to some weirdo; you *know* there's somebody out there who can't get enough of it.

Oh this would be good! Best version of that ride, and even better with the restored Vincent Price narration!

You know i've heard many good things about phantom manor but as someone whos only been on HM once (bc neighbor wanted to show me the effects) and likes 80s horror better (read: TOT) i just don't give an f
Buzz light year Astro blasters was one of the first attractions I went on when I first went to Disney land
Such a classic
God, every time I hear about how Alien almost had a big presence at Disney, the more I wish they would've followed through. This and the OG Nostromo Alien Encounter attraction sounds rad as hell.
I remember being just the right age for those Astro Blaster bumper cars that shot balls at each other, they were rad.
That ending slate was perfect
I was SO impressed with this ride, and the animatronic Buzz Lightyear in the queue the first time I went on in waaaaay back in 2003. I still always do it once when at Magic Kingdom.
I love Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters! It was my favorite ride when I was a kid and it still is!
I remember riding this as a kid my dad was in the zone going in my mom was scoffing at him. On the ride we spin around and there's dad in his own cart dual wielding and valiantly blasting away at Zurgs minions it was hilarious
As I dearly loved Dream Flight, I wasn't happy with it's closure although at that point I'd stopped being able to go to the park. But as a lover of shooting galleries, I can say I probably would have enjoyed this ride too.
9:39 Sounds like the Death Star!
I love this freaking ride. Because you can interact directly with it. Like a carnival game meeting a dark ride. I went there for my tenth birthday and this was one of the best things ever
11:16 Aidan:"...and then we blast his sh!t a lot!"
Great video! Now... Space Ranger Spin in WDW is in definite need of an update. Not even a full overhaul, but I think just updating the guns/targets would go a long way. Those guns are the absolute worst; half the time they barely work. The tiny red laser dots are almost impossible to see where they're aimed. Was probably great back in 1998. Really just a button masher now.
Me: I can’t wait to go on Astro blaster
Mom: don’t you mean Astro blasters
Me: no I mean Astro blaster that’s what it’s called here
Mom: ok
Around that same time that this attraction came out I remember Disney/Pixar did a spin-off tv show and Direct to home release about Buzz Lightyear being back at his Space Academy. So it was sorta a more in depth back-story for Buzz. I remember the show/movie super well since I was a big fan of it.
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command: The Adventure Begins. I had that VHS. I didn't care much for Disney as a kid so I didn't care for the actual Toy Story, but I adored anything to do with Star Command. I even had the PS1 game.
I actually truly enjoyed If You Had Wings:) That song still gets stuck in my head from time to time.
Trashy Disney my parents loved that ride too, and they also had the song stuck in their heads too
My parents remember seeing a special that aired in Japan in the '70s about the park. That ride was in it, and even though they couldn't understand it, they found it quite catchy.
With Toy Story 4 being out, now is the perfect time to get to Buzz Lightyear
yup
What?
If You Had Wings was the first WDW ride I'd ever been on. It blew my mind. I was 11.
Screamed when this came onto my feed. I've been waiting for this day!! This ride, and Space Mountain, are the only things I remember going on my one trip to Disney as a wee child. One I got to shoot things, the other I was too short and almost fell out...
I went on this, Space Mountain, Alien Encounter, and most of the other Tomorrowland rides in 2001. I remember only liking roller coasters and "space rides." I didn't do Haunted Mansion because we don't care about that ride. (I respect your opinion.) I liked the princesses, but oto-san and okaa-san were hyping up Tomorrowland like there was no tomorrow. (Haha pun)
@@YuukiTakemoto1996i only did HM once because i'm more of an 80s horror person. That's why i like TOT. I only did HM that one time because my neighbor wanted to show me the effects.... it was a good place to fall asleep in.
I _liked_ "If you had wings" 😃
Astro Blasters at Disneyland will always be my favorite, and I'm so excited to ride it again when I go to Disneyland in a week!
I’ve always loved attractions like these because they’re the closest thing to interacting with the ride itself. If only we could go one step further and have a ride based off choices the audience makes (EX: multiple paths that only happen if the rider say shoots a secret target or enters a password via a keypad on the ride vehicle).
6:04 I just can’t get over that burn
11:17 "We blast this shit a lot!"
Buzz: What would Toy Story 2 be without Buzz Lightyear?
Woody: A good movie
The original Alien Encounter is still my all time favorite.
Same. S.I.R. was hot...
I loved that ride. I looked up to SIR like no tomorrow
It ain't a trip to disney without at least 12 rounds on space ranger spin.
Fun fact: Every star cruizer on BLSRS In orlando has a pair of Crystolic Fusion batteries mounted on the back. Every battery pair is screwed in differently as if each vehicle is its own toy (ex: sometimes you can see the logo, sometimes its partially covered, sometimes it shows the back). Thats good attention to detail.
i never noticed that
I fondly remember riding that ride during one trip to Disney World.
There was literally no line so we went on it a few times. It was both
fun and air conditioned.
I think that was the
trip where my mom had to help convince one parent that their small
child probably doesn’t want to ride Alien Encounter. The other
parent was quite grateful.
I went in 2001 when I was 5. I loved both this and Alien Encounter.
As a British lad I’m lucky enough to have enjoyed space ranger spin as a four-year-old boy capturing my imagination, then moody 17-year-old, and a now cynical 23-year-old man. Always loved it
"If you had wings" must've inspired that Simpsons episode where they go to a airline theme park and one of the rides sounds exactly like it(minus the airplane mech overlords! XD)
I REMEMBER THAT OML
HOLY SHIT THAT JUST BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES
I loooved Astro Blaster in Disney Quest. It was so fun. If you shot your ball at the star on the side of someone else's car, it would spin them around for a few seconds. Disney Quest was the closest to Disney I could get as a kid, so I didn't even know the other versions existed!
You were in Chicago? I went to DisneyQuest in 2006 and did the AstroBlaster ride. I also remembered Alien Encounter existed via the Invasion ride...
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 I actually went to the one in Florida, when it was in Downtown Disney.
fun fact: the reason Zurg's voice sounds different on Space Ranger Spin is because that was his original voice - you can also hear it in a deleted scene from Toy Story 2 (an unused version of the Buzz vs Zurg fight scene, timestamped February-April 1998), which suggests they changed Zurg's voice for the movie after they'd already recorded his lines for the ride
I know it's 2 years late, but Frank Welker voiced Zurg in Space Ranger Spin. It's pretty cool hearing a character sound like Soundwave.
I can see why they changed it. That voice sounds like fucking Bane from Batman & Robin. TS2 was going to be DTV at first. I'd hate to see the universe where that was reality.
It's his character designer Ken Mitchroney who has also worked on TMNT
It's worth mentioning that the Chicago disneyquest also had the bumber car version. And was the first to close when whole place did.
I actually went there at one point. 2000 maybe. We were there to see mamas side of the family. I remember being like "this is the same thing as the orlando one but still AWESOME"
Hello, my name is Ron and I should tell you that I was the first WDW Cast Member allowed to operate "Buzz Light Year Space Ranger Spin" when it opened in 1999. Prior to that I operated Space Mountain for just shy of a year and then the smaller attractions in Tomorrow-Land before being chosen to open Buzz Light Year. it was a very fun attraction and guests loved it, many riding over & over.
this is a great video, I miss Delta Dream-flight very much but Buzz Light Year was definitely a suitable replacement! Cheers To You! 😇👍🇺🇸

I'm going to Hong Kong in October. I'm excited to check out the ant man ride. I didn't realize it replaced buzz lightyear

Probably a reference

OH, WAIT...
@@YuukiTakemoto1996THAT'S FOR ME TO KNOW AND YOU TO FIND OUT
To think, for all the success Pixar made during their inception, and for how much people enjoyed Toy Story and A Bug’s Life when it all started, it’s hard to believe they at the same time weren’t as welcoming to attractions based on them at the Disney Parks, initially.
Video suggestion: The Disney store! The history of it and present day!
Interesting idea!
Rob Plays has a video about that if you're curious.
when i was 5 i went to disneyland, , i remebember when i saw astro blasters, i couldnt read yet, but i saw buzz lightyears face, i begged my parents to let me ride, i loved it so much that i rode astro blasters like 20 times in a row that day, and everytime i go to walt disney world, i ride spaceranger spin atleast 2 or 3 times, its always been one of my favorite disney rides.
i hope this ride never shuts down, i remember that day so well when i first rode astro blasters as a kid like 20 times in a row, infact i still have my minnie mouse light up toy, that my dad got me during the fireworks from that day, everytime i look at it i think of astroblasters.
This brings back fond memories. My parents and I would sign up for a FastPass slot, then get in line to pass the time. I swear we went through it 4 or 5 times in a row.
Another note about the ride/game interactivity mentioned at 13:31. There was another ride that used a similar concept. The exit area for Mission Space in WDW had a game where two teams would complete tasks and race rockets. This tied into an online game that could be played on Disney's website. It looks like Space Race is still in the post show area, but I can't find a trace of the online game.
I was a cast member here in 2012! Been a Galactic Hero on almost every trip I've taken since. Miss it every day!
7:12 Yeah I was one of those kids scarred for life by Alien Encounter. I think it’s partially responsible for my continued aversion to horror movies/games.
I loved it. I found it funny; granted, I had no idea what was going on.
The only way it scarred me for life was giving me a crush on SIR
I hope that wings ride gets covered because my interest was peeked when it was briefly touched about on a video about eastern airlines a while back.
My family moved to Florida when I was 4 in 1983, so I've been going to Disney since I was pretty young. Some of my most vivid memories of those earliest trips are from If You Had Wings. For some reason I just loved it. I was so sad when they replaced it with this.
What an awesome channel! I was working at the Toontown Fair when this first opened and it was INCREDIBLY popular. Everyone RAVED about it. It's such a great ride and felt interactive and new at the time.
Definitely one of my favorite rides even to this day and that bumper car version was hilarious when people freaked out as their car spinned!
This ride is always so much fun, and I always try to hop on at least once whenever I visit WDW. Also, god, I remember the Disney Quest ride. It broke down at least 5 times per round because the balls would jam the car movement.
Just a long time fan thing, I like your older intro more. The Back to the future car is more iconic, and I miss how the last intro ended more. It was more detailed. Love your videos though, you’ve been uploading a lot more recently and it’s fantastic. Keep the videos going!
I think this one is just a one time thing as I haven't seen that intro (the flying to Hogwarts one) in later Yesterworld episodes.
Disney needs to update this ride in WDW, the other versions are vastly superior. For example, Disneyland's Different categories for point targets, can take the gun out, the gun confirms it hit the target (player feedback), and its more accurate, the WDW run is so run down its not even funny.
I rode it recently and the ride got stuck when we were in the star tunnel with the 360 screen. Starts to hurt your damn eyes after awhile staring at how fuzzy the images on the screen are.
Yeah the one in Disneyland here in California is amazing. :D
I liked seeing the concept art in this video...don’t think I’ve ever really seen it before now. Also learned a few things that I didn’t know too. I have great memories of this ride especially the first time I went on it. I was obsessed with Buzz Lightyear and watched the tv series all the time and had the toys and I even had a Buzz play tent that looked like a spaceship. Obviously this ride was on the top of my to do list and when I went on this ride my 7 year old self was in pure heaven.
I watched the TV series and had the toys too. This ride is what made me obsessed with it.
"A good movie" saaavvvvaaaaggggeeeee😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎
Space Ranger Spin was the first ride I ever rode at Disney World. Doesn't feel like that was exactly 12 years ago today. Funny this video was today.
The dry puns get me EVERY TIME. Excellent as always.
so when i was 7 my mother took me to disney world. i've always been sensitive o overstimulation so the whole experience was (and still is) a vivid nightmare to me. this ride is the single shining good memory from that whole experience.
I had similar problems when I was like 5. Whenever i got too hyper i puked. I remember playing Sonic 3 for the first time and i fell in love with knuckles so much i puked on my neighbor
"It's kind of like... a ride?"
Love going on this ride even though i can never beat anyone I'm partnered with!! Also the very end freaked me out as the audio you put of Buzz started to talk over himself!

OH MY GOD I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE ONLINE GAME I PLAYED IT SO MUCH
Thank you for that, I’m actually gonna cry
Great vid! Would love vids on New Fantasyland '83 and New Tomorrowland '67 (the two-best land refurbishments Disneyland has ever had.)
I have always thought about the buzz light-year ride I went on when I was extremely young and hardly remembered. 10/10 work thanks.
Based off a classic film, interactive, incentives for winning, colorful as anything....great ride.
I LOVED if you had wings as a kid and I remember taking Delta dream flight at traditions when I was hired a cast member.
That's a fantastic loop at the end. Well done. I love it.
"If You Had Wings" was pretty good and a big influence on the original EPCOT Center Future World attractions along with the Mexico boat ride
That teaser trailer to Toy Story 2 is one of the best trailers ever!
I distinctly remember that online game, was very cool how it worked with the ride itself, I remember beating it too. Wish I could still play it
