Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
From The Unofficial DisneyWiki
Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is an attraction at Disneyland at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California that opened on March 17, 2005 (officially on May 5, 2005) for Disneyland's 50th Anniversary. It is based off Tokyo Disneyland's Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters attraction, but has some changes.

[edit] Premise
Guests board a "XP-40 Space Cruiser" armed with two infrared guns, "Astro Blasters," which takes them through scenes in space featuring characters Buzz Lightyear and Evil Emperor Zurg. Guests must shoot at differently-shaped targets, worth different amounts of points depending on the shape of the target. The Space Cruisers take guests through Star Command, to Zurg's ship, and then to Planet Z, through a lightspeed tunnel similar to that of Star Tours, and into a final battle between Buzz and Zurg.
[edit] Target Point Values
- Circle - 100 points
- Square - 1000 points
- Diamond - 5000 points
- Triangle - 10,000 or more points
[edit] Secret Targets
It is been said that there are secret targets throughout the attraction. Here are a few:
- In both the scenes with Audio-Animatronic Zurg, there are hidden targets in between his chestplates.
- On the right & left sides, and on the ceiling of the black tunnel with the horrizontal running lights.
[edit] Internet
Since the attraction's opening, guests are able to send their scores and photos via email. It is the only Disneyland attraction to offer free souvenir photos.
In June 2005, people at home will be able to help riders at Disneyland boost their scores by playing an arcade-style video game on their computers, in which the score on the game is added to a rider's score.
