Photos: Disneyland Paris' Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast Refurbishment Update

Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast is getting a whole new look!

Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast in Disneyland Paris has been under refurbishment for the past few months. Let’s take a look at the progress being made on the facade of the Discoveryland attraction.

The most noticeable change to the exterior is the removal of the attraction signage and large Buzz Lightyear statue that previously adorned the attraction’s entrance.

 

The construction walls around the attraction have artwork of the Little Green Men and a sign stating that “Recruitment of new Space Rangers will resume soon!"
