Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin in Florida (also known as Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in California and Tokyo Disneyland, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast in Paris and Buzz Lightyear Planet Rescue in Shanghai) is an interactive shooting dark ride attraction located in the Tomorrowland area of the Disney theme parks. Designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, this attraction combines a carnival game and a third-generation Omnimover system. It is inspired by Disney/Pixar's Toy Story franchise, and contains several elements loosely based on the cartoon series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command.

The attraction first opened at Magic Kingdom on November 3, 1998. Subsequent versions can be found at Disneyland, Disneyland Park in Paris, and Shanghai Disneyland. Although each ride may have a different name, all share the same major plot and characters. The ride formerly existed at Hong Kong Disneyland under the name Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, but was closed in September 2017. For a brief period from the Shanghai version's opening in 2016 until the Hong Kong version's closure in 2017, the attraction was only one of two that could be found at all six Disney castle parks worldwide (the other attraction being Dumbo the Flying Elephant).[3][circular reference]
