(March 2005) FASTPASS Attraction
Get ready to help Buzz Lightyear fight his nemesis, The Evil Emperor Zurg while experiencing the fun filled "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters."
As you enter this attraction you'll see Buzz Lightyear himself. By using an oversized Etch A Sketch, Buzz will outline his plan to conquer Zurg. He'll need your help, so recruits be ready!
Next, you board your Space Cruiser and blast your way through. Each cruiser comes equipped with two Astro Blasters. Aim your weapon and shoot a beam of light at the alien targets while scoring points. The joystick lets you rotate your cruiser as you compete for the highest score.
The targets are great! Some rotate, some spin, some don't move, but all have one thing in common, the center circle that you have to hit in order to rack up more points. Your final standoff is against Zurg. No matter what your score, "Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster" always has you leave with a smile (and the urge to try it again.)
After your adventure, you can go to one of the five kiosks and email a picture of you with your final score to yourself or a friend. Click Here for a review
Restrictions: Guests in wheelchairs must transfer to ride, Adults should accompany small children.

(Photos) Via a submarine, you visit the underwater world of Nemo and his friends. Using new technology, the cast of 'Finding Nemo' will swim by your porthole in this fun filled attraction.
Depending on where you're sitting, you may spot Nemo at a different time from someone else (but everyone will see the little guy the same number of times.) 'Sonar Hydrophones' will allow you to listen to the action as Dorey, Marlin and friends go in pursuit of Nemo.
 The seascape also features new audio animatronic characters. Be on the lookout for the pesky seagulls and their trademark 'mine, mine, mine' vocals.
Recycled glass was used to 'paint' the coral and rock. The submarines have been retrofitted to add two new seats and portholes. Trivia buffs who remember the original attraction '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' will want to pay close attention to the soundtrack. There are snippets of dialogue from that ride.
While guests with disabilities will not be able to access the submarines, an Observation Outpost will allow them to take part in this exciting attraction.
(Opened: May 22, 1998)

Space Mountain
By: Kelsie Johnson

I originally rode Space Mountain during the opening weekend in 1977. When Disneyland announced that the NEW Space Mountain was debuting during the ‘Happiest Homecoming on Earth’ celebration, I couldn't wait try it out. It was everything and more that I hoped it would be.
The queue, (although still one of the longest I’ve walked much less stood in,) has been redesigned to make your wait a bit less painful. Over a dozen television screens playing music, news broadcasts and yes, you guessed it, even commercials, keep you occupied during the wait. I actually found so many new things to see and listen to that before I realized it, we were in the ‘launch area.’
The launch area has been redone as well as the ride vehicles. Once on board, a noticeable difference from the original Space Mountain is the speakers actually work again. I admit, being a fan of the original soundtrack, I was skeptical when I heard Disney replaced the music with an updated version. I actually liked it and agree it added to the experience.
The addition of new lighting, meteors and stars enhance the feeling you are traveling through space. Space Mountain has always been my favorite attraction and this hasn’t changed. There’s still enough of the original to bring back memories of that first ride but with noticeable changes that keep this ride new and exciting.
This is a very popular ride and the lines can be very long! We actually witnessed 3 hour wait times. This is also a FASTPASS attraction so I highly recommend using this option. Make sure you get your FASTPASS early because the daily allotment is often distributed by mid-afternoon.
