Rumor i hear about Universal Studios

[Bob O]

I just read this rumor on the old thrillride and have no idea if its true or not but i will post it and any comments from people who may know would be interesting.
"The rumor going around was that the space between Men In Black and Back to the Future was being saved for a coaster. The employee i talked with didnt know if it would be in 2002 or 2003. He stated it would be called Apollo 12."
So what do you think?????

[Seahag]

This is the first I have heard about this "apollo 13" but there was a roller coaster rumor running around ~~ does anyone else have any info ?

[EUROPA]

I thought this had been floating around for a long time. Didn't someone just drag up and post the patent information about the ride a few days ago?

Yeah here it is

What is that supposed to mean?

[Bob O]

I personally think both MIB and BTTF are great rides! I love the idea of a coaster but dont know how practical it is, hopefully some employee may shed some light on this rumor. A coaster anywhere is good for me, a B & M would be even better!

"...But MIB blows"

It is not a favorable term.:eek:

[JohnnySpaak]

For those of you that may be from Utah blows means the ride sucked, was terrible , no fun, stupid, keep King Kong get rid of MIB. Johnny

[manny2]

"MIB blows" It is not a favorable term."

It may not be a favorable term, but thank God we live in America, where we have the freedom to express how we feel.
BTW, in my opinion MIB doesn't blow .. it SUCKS!.

for those who have trouble hitting thier intended target i can understand the frustration. This is the initial problem of most space cadets, but under the watchfull eye of MIB agents this symptom can be overcome. :p

[manny2]

MIB999999,
You misspelled the words 'their' and 'watchful.'
Perhaps you should spend less time riding MIB and more time studying.

[Spaceman Spiff]

what does it matter? so mib didnt use spell check, call in the spell natzis :rolleyes:

[manny2]

Spaceman Spiff,
There is no 'T' in the word 'nazis.' Here's an address you might find useful:

[MIB999999]

for that great come back i may have to spot you 100,000 in the MIB shoot-off 10/20:smooth:

[Spaceman Spiff]

OR you could share some point secrets? like a great spot for racking up points (hint, HINT)

[MIB999999]

I know a few, which area of the game are you thinking of.
I stage it this way:
1) at the end of the training segment: 50,000 plus
2) just before the start of the ambush: 332,000 to 390,000
3) at the beginning of the Scan: 496,000 to 642,000
4) at the end of the game: 999,999 to 1,167,000

based on the above and your experience of how your score progresses which area do you want a tip for?????

[Spaceman Spiff]

I'll take 2) just before the start of the ambush: 332,000 to 390,000 for 100 alex. :jester:

[MIB999999]

right hand track: hit the multi-eye stalk creature right between the front two stalks and stay there until he disappers for good.
on the right is the news stand, hit the dog in the head as long as your gun keeps scoring points. dead ahead is a two story building. hit the alien on the lower floor on the right once so his eyes light-up. Immediately look to right on second floor for alien that the eyes light up red and it sounds like glass breaking when you shoot him. hit him 5 times. by this time the car is doing its spin. after spin i go to second floor on right and hit anything in the windows. Hit the flower pot headed alien on the ground floor just past the steps. I then aim for the door at 11:00 that has the verticle blinds. while shooting this i watch for the alien on the second story window to appear. sometimes he scores multi-hit points sometimes only one hit. as car pivots aim for for alien on second floor at the window with the curtians that open and close. aim for lower left quadrant of window in upper right corner. stay on this spot until the car rotates to go into the ambush and you can no longer see the window.

left hand track: aim for multi-eye stalk in same area as the right hand track. the minute you have a clear line of fire for the alien on the fire hydrant hit him in the left eye and stay on it until you can not hit the eye any more. Go fast to the building straight ahead for the alien in the lower floor window and quickly go to the right for the alien in the second story window with the red eyes and glass breaking sound. Hit him five times. car will spin. go for second story windows in building on right one hit each. switch to the center creature on the left right between the eyes till he falls backwards. Go for the alien up in the second story window at 11:00. If his eyes do not change color repeatadly go to the upper floor alien in the window with the curtians on the right. stay there until you can not get a shot at it any longer. you are now in ambush area. Smile you photo op is coming right up.

by the way, this whole time you are holding the trigger constantly. you do not pump one shot at a time.

How's that!!! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[eetsoop]

Wow good tips. they're pretty concise to, maybe you sould right a book MIB999999. :)

[Spaceman Spiff]

WOW, I am very impressed! You should definitely write a book.

[MIB999999]

Yeah i'll write a book for all 52 of us that love this ride:bounce:

[WebmasterBarry]

[MIB999999]

Sure!!!!

maybe i should just have a tip thread going?????:confused:
