Two new Walt Disney Records ride releases are on Apple Music: a five-track Buzz Lightyear EP by Mike Rubino and a two-track Soarin' Across America single by Bruce Broughton.
The Buzz EP arrived May 22 with "Star Command," "Outer Space to Planet Z," "Zurg's Domain," "Hyperspace to Zurg's Capture," and "Squeaky Toy City." The whole set runs a little more than six minutes, which fits music built around short show scenes, target rooms, and that jumpy Tomorrowland arcade rhythm.
The release lands soon after Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin returned at Magic Kingdom with its 2026 refresh. The updated game keeps the classic shooter mission and adds Buddy in the opening scene, reworked Star Cruisers with score monitors, handheld blasters with always-on lasers, and targets that react when they are hit.
The Soarin single arrived May 21. Both tracks run 4 minutes and 42 seconds: "Soarin' Across America" and "Soarin' Across America (Chamber Orchestra)."
Broughton handled the new arrangement of Jerry Goldsmith's Soarin themes for the film, and that is the detail longtime Soarin riders will hear immediately. Goldsmith's original lift and sweep are still the backbone, now pointed at American scenes instead of the California or global versions.
Soarin' Across America begins May 26 at EPCOT and July 2 at Disney California Adventure, where the park's Soarin' switches films for the summer. The film covers New York Harbor, Grand Canyon West, Mount Rushmore, the New England coast, the Great Plains, bayous, and Hawaiian shores, with a National Geographic trivia challenge added to the EPCOT queue.
A clean streaming copy changes the feel of both releases. Buzz is full of tiny ride-room cues that get chewed up by blaster effects. Soarin is the opposite: one big score that still works best when the room goes quiet and the bench lifts.
