MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[MIB999999]

Hope no one minds but there have been numerous requests on the pm and on the boards for tips. This will not be the difinitive final word on how to max-out on the points since i think only the designer knows that.
Since i hit the 999,999 4 out of every 15 times i ride i will share all that i know and have learned. (I can see the free Mythos meals by hustling people going down the drain.)

First i divide the game into five areas with scoring ranges for each.
AREA 1) THE TRAINING AREA: 40,000 TO 61,000
AREA 2) THE CRASH SITE AND TOWN AREA: 214,000 TO 342,000
AREA 3) THE AMBUSH: 414,000 TO 614,000
AREA 4) THE RUN FOR THE BUG: 800,000 TO 999,999
AREA 5) EATEN BY THE BUG: 999,999 TO 1,137,000

Basic guidelines:
1) always hold the trigger on the gun. even if you aim at the ceiling every ten NOISES that the gun makes is worth 1,050 points. SO NEVER LET GO OF THE TRIGGER.

2) With very few exceptions that i will note in the upcoming threads AIM FOR THE EYES or BETWEEN THE EYES. the do-right and dufus tape shows you can shoot the shoulder or neck area. You can if you want to stay the low score in the car.

3) free tip: the best cars to max out on the score are LEFT SIDE ROWS ONE AND TWO and RIGHT SIDE ROWS THREE AND FOUR. Now before you all try to get in only those cars, i have hit the 999,999 from all four cars in both front and back rows. i just find it easier to hit the 1,137,000 from these two cars.

I will stop here for now and see there are any objections to this plan by the moderators, or any specific questions. I will if allowed post a new thread every week or so. dealing with the stratagy for right and left car in each area.

well MsDisney you asked for it
:D

[sha_lyn]

MIB.. We haven't set a date for our next trip but DS would love for you to give him the pointers in person if you will be in the parks when we go. He couldn't believe that you get the high score often.

[MsDisney]

Thanks MIB!!! Yes, I DID ask for it!!! I'm going to get the printer going tomorrow so I can have this stuff (and Barry's tips) in a handy folder. They're going to think I'm very odd studying outside of MIB! LOL

Why would they have a problem with tips for getting a great score? I mean, having some clue is one thing...actually being ABLE to memorize and follow through is another thing altogether, so it's not like suddenly the game will be ruined by the info!

Well, anyway...I'm glad to see this thread!!! And I'm thinking there should be an onsite class the weekend of the 10th/11th too! :D I would imagine the weekends are busy, do you do the single riders line? It was funny seeing mention of do-right and dufus, we've only been through the regular line once...over a year ago! You might say we're spoiled! :rolleyes:

Thanks!!! And I look forward to more!!!

Aw man! I wish I had all these kick butt tips when I was there on the 28th for HHN! We got to ride two times in quick succession and a third ride before we headed home! I at least tromped the boyfriend by 150k 2 out of three times. Heh!

So, pardon my ignorance, but am I guessing here that you get a free dinner at Mythos if you score 999,999?

I am so with MsDisney, I'm gonna be printing out these tips and memorizing them for our next trip in Feb....

[EUROPA]

I thnk the free dinner comes for the many challanges that MIB gets from some locals.


Tips would be nice....I leave for US/IOA in a a few weeks....that ride is such a sensory overload that it's almost impossilbe to score high the first few times you ride it.

[MIB999999]

question for all of you: do we put it all on this thread????

sha-lyn: I will be eating my thru epcot 11/3 and ducking while the hurricane comes thru 11/4. I will be there 11/11 and then probably each saturday thereafter except for 12/8. just let me know and if i can be there i will.

MsDisney: i will be there 11/11 so bring it on, school will be in session!!! Yes i almost always ride single rider unless there is a meet and we all decide to ride in the same car.

BansheeBlue: EUROPA is correct. i was dreaming of hustling tourons for free dinners at Mythos. If you hit the 999,999 on MIB all you get is the option to purchase the photo which occured in the ambush area in case you were wondering where it is taken

EUROPA: you are correct about the sensory overload; first time riders that get more than 250,000 are doing very well but the fun of the ride is watching it all unfold. I can go thru and not fire a shot and just watch all the animatronics and scenery and be very content with the ride.

This thread will be all about the score however, Because if it was just for fun then why do they keep score!!!!:smooth:

[sha_lyn]

thanks, we will be down there sometime before the special runs out (if they still have rooms avaliable LOL)
Ds just joined the DIS tonight. I finally booted him off the teen board to post here.
I'll direct him over to this thread tomorrow.

[MsDisney]

MIB - No matter to me where you post...whatever is easiest!
I was sort of planning on going on Sat. the 10th since Sunday I have a standing football thing going on. (no, I don't play, but I like to watch...the game, that is) Hmmm...

Well, it sounds like either way, I'll be able to get some first hand tips from the MIB master, at some point in the near future!

I, for one, want to say that I really appreciate the time you are giving to this cause...and I agree about enjoying the ride either way, but the competitive nature in me doesn't allow me to do any less than try to kick some serious alien butt!!! :D

[BansheeBlue]

ok, so no free dinner at Mythos. THAT would be nice though huh?

And yeah I was wondering where/when exactly the pic was taken. I cracked up when we looked at our pics all three times last Sunday, my boyfriend and I looked so damned serious in them, probably because we were intent on kicking each other's *****.... heh!

Drool, drool, now I wanna go back again just to do MIB...at least we have Annual Passes in case we wanna be crazy and go for a weekend :)

[MIB999999]

Ok, i will start this instruction manual 11/4 on this thread.
I plan to take the game AREA 1 thru AREA 5.
I will detail AREA 1 for right and left track starting then. Now these will be detailed so the post will be long each time.

BansheeBlue: The picture is taken right before the aliens come to life in the ambush area. TIP: the big alien dead ahead of you is not worth squat point wise. I assume you will read this thread and not let your boyfriend see it till long after you have trounced him soundly!!!!

MsDisney: that standing football thing sounds intriguing:D

you do all realize that the whole point of this is the high score controls the flashy thing:jester:

[MsDisney]

Thanks MIB! I look forward to these classes!!! I only hope you don't USE the flashy thing on us when we get all this info stored up in our brains!!!:cool:


I'm going to decline comment on the standing football thing so as not to incriminate myself...:rolleyes:

AREA 1 HANDBOOK:
Left Hand Track: As you enter the training area the alien on the right pulling the levers is not part of the game so ignore him. The best target is on the left wall on the second story. Hit the red dot below the chin of the target face as many times as you can, do not come off it until you can no longer see it. This is done for two reasons: 1) he is worth a lot of points for multiple hits. 2) this is the target you use to "sight in" your gun. So while you are racking up big points you are also getting the feel for how your gun aim needs to be adjusted. After you have passed by the first target concentrate on the second story ones dead ahead in the first section. After you finish the first section look to the left on the floor for the alien pivoting out of the wall. hit him once and then go up to the second floor for the alien swinging like a pendulum. hit him once. Aim high for the swinging alien just above the car. Hit him once. Now look straight ahead and hit the target on the floor close to the left hand wall. hit him once and then move 2 degrees to the right and hit the other floor target that has just started to move towards your car. Hit him once and then aim for one of the wall tragets on your right at about 1:00. pick one and stay on it until the training session is over.

Right Hand track: follow the left hand track instructions while in the first section of AREA 1. After you finish the first section look to the right on the floor for the moving alien. Hit him once. Look ahead and slightly to the right for the alien swinging like a pendulum in the wall, not the one overhead. Hit him once and then go to the one over head for a single hit. Now aim across court to the two aliens on the floor on the left hand side of the room. Hit each one once. Now look straight ahead and pick one of the four wall targets and hit the red dot on one and stay on it until the traing session is over.

Remember your trigger is always pulled and multiple hits add up fast.

for both tracks this AREA is the only one where you will aim for the red dots on the tragets instead of the eyes. the red dots are on the chest of the alien.
The best score i have had in the area is 62,000. You want to come out of this area with 50,000 plus if you want to have a shot at the 999,999.

HINT: just because your guns are not shooting after the training session is over is no sign to relax. take a deep breath and get ready. The guns will start shooting before the AREA 2 aliens are ready so draw a bead on ol' four eye stalks right between the front set of stalks and start firing the second the guns are again active. You will have time to look at your score for the AREA 1 run but do not look to long cause the guns are active seconds after the score reappears.

About the guns: there are two types and i have hit the 999,999 with both. As a rule the noisy cricket II does not aim very well, but if it is right on it is as good of a gun as you can have. I prefer the larger gun and have found the aims to be more true but all will take a bit of adjusting on your part. Each gun should have sound effects that you can hear when you hit a target so you have both a sight and sound confirmation that you have hit the target. CAUTION: if you grow use to the sound efect it will cause you problems when the sound effect on a particular gun is not working, so get use to how your gun aim is set. :bounce:

Since Michelle has decided not to decide where she is going i will be honing the ol' MIB skills 11/4. i will be at the MIB at about 10:30 and MYTHOS at 12:30. Of course as barry knows i will be having a cinnimon roll first thing at CMB.

[MIB999999]

This area is the longest and will require much detail to cover it completely.
AREA 2 HANDBOOK:
Left Hand Track: Your guns will activate before you can see the targets so be shooting and rechecking your aim. Immediately after you clear the wall on your right, aim for the alien with four eyestalks. Aim for the head at dead center of the front two eyestalks. If you can keep him bobing up and down you will score some points. As the car travels shoot the middle of the upper lip of the two blue aliens right in front of the car. The minute you can see the alien sitting on the fire hydrant between the two tracks aim for his eye and keep shooting until the car is past him and you can no longer shoot his eye. Immediately aim straight ahead to the far end of the track, in the lower window at the right side of the building. shoot this alien once and his eyes will turn yellow. Immediately go up to the second story on your right 90 degrees and shoot the alien 5 times. This alien's eyes turn red when you hit him and there is the sound effect of breaking glass each time you hit him. Go back 90 degrees to the left and hit the trargets in either of the second story windows. By this time the car is spinning. After the car is done spinning, go back upstairs to the target in the left window. hit him once and pivot your aim 180 degrees to the three aliens on the left in the windows. I go for the second window and hit him right between the eyes. if for some reason his eyes do not change to red then to white switch back to the right side of the track and shoot the alien with the flower pot on its head. Now you have a choice of three targets coming up. And one that Barry likes to shoot.
1: the upper window on the right with the curtians over it. Hit this window in the lower left pane, in the upper right corner of that pane. Do not come off of it until the car pivots around to head into the ambush area.
2: the door straight ahead with the verticle blinds, shoot for the left eye of the alien target.
3: there will be an alien appear in the window on the second floor of the building straight ahead. This window is above the alien that shoots the water over your car when you shoot his eyes.
BARRY'S TARGET: The car to the left side of your vehicle has a big purple alien that pops out from under the hood. There is another alien hiding behind the drivers side door.

the number 3 target is touchy. If you do not get his eyes to turn red right away switch to one of the other two targets.

My favored method is hit 2 until i see the 3 target pop up i keep shooting him as long as his eyes keep changing and then switch to 1.
You are now entering the ambush area and should have between 214,000 and 325,000 points.

Right Hand Track: This side has its advantages and drawbacks so play it as best you can. this side requires the most precise execution. You are in the best position to hit ol' 4 eyestalk right between the front stalks in the head cause your track has an unrestricted view of him as he comes up. If you can keep him boboing up and down with good accurate shooting you are robbing the left hand car of points since they will never have a shot at the scoring area of this alien. after he is down for good ( his eyestalks are no longer green, the lights go out) aim at the PEKINESE on the newspaper stand counter along the right hand wall. You will have to pivot in your seat to even see him and if you are in the front row center or left hand seat you will be hard pressed to even see him. Hit him in the head as long as your gun keeps scoring. Pivot left and hit the alien on the fire hydrant in the area between the two tracks. Pivot back to the right up to the second story and hit the target between the eyes. one shot only. Pivot straight ahead and hit the alien in the lower story window of the building. hit him once and turn 90 degrees to the right and hit the alien in the second story window that has the eyes that turn red and the breaking glass sound. hit him five times. By this time your car is spinning.
When the spin is done go upstairs to the right hand side and hit the target in the left window. Drop down to the first floor and pop each of the lower windows once.
above the flowerpot up on the second story is a window that has horizontial blinds. there is an alien there with a target area between the third and fourth louvers ( counting from the bottom up) If can sqeeze a shot up there the blinds might open and you then have a clear shot at the red target. If not come back down and hit the flower pot and then the alien that is hiding under it. Now at this pint you will have the same 1, 2, 3 target selections. You will not have BARRY'S TARGET since the left hand car will be blocking your view. I go for the alien behind the door with the verticle blinds and watch fore the alien on the second floor above the water squirter alien. If his eyes do not change to red i go for the window with the curtians.

The big alien straight ahead is impressive but like most tempting targets in this game the point value is nil. Let the amatures shoot him.

Again at this point you need to be at 214,000 to 325,000 going into the ambush.

ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?????:confused:

[MIB999999]

AREA 3 HANDBOOK:
AREA 3: THE AMBUSH
This area is very short and simple with more do not's than do's.

Left Hand Track: While traveling down this alley way i frequently lean out and shoot back at the window mentioned in AREA 2 as long as possible. WHATEVER YOU DO KEEP THE TRIGGER PULLED. This is the most target rich side of this AREA. The big alien dead ahead will rise up and say SIX AGAINST ONE EH!. At this point the picture will be taken and all the aliens will activate. Do not shoot for the big alien eyes. no points. All of the aliens in this area are armed and to score points you must hit the sensor in the middle of the gun barrel of each alien. Since the big alien is waving his guns around they are a difficult target to hit. HIT AS MANY GUNS AS YOU CAN. also look up above for the alien moving from building to building on a clothesline. Pop him a couple of shots in the **** just before the spin takes place. As you finish the spin you will see the chess scene. Ignore the chess players and the chess board. On the left side are trees with four pairs of green eyes in them. pick a set of eyes and stay on them. aim for right between the eyes. as you move out of range of one pair of eyes shift your aim to another set and stay on them untill your gun stops working. You are now entering the scan area. In the first scanner you can wave to the people on the other side and they can see you. The second screen is the alien insertion into the car and real big points are about to come into play in AREA 4.

Right Hand Track: This side has a shorter interval between the end of AREA 2 and the point where the big alien dead ahead says " SIX AGAINST ON EH!. From this point on for this area the instructions are the same as those for the Left Hand Track. as you come out of the spin on this track you will see dead ahead the blockade and the alien swinging on it. NO POINTS. IGNORE IT. Look to the far left side and pick out a set of eyes in the trees and shoot them until the gun stops working beacuse of the scan area. Aim for right between the eyes. No points are able to be scored during the scan so sit back, make funny faces at the other car and take a break cause the high point area is just a few feet away.

You should come out of the ambush area with between 414,000 and 614,000.

Your gun will become active again just as you clear the scanner so have it ready and the trigger pulled.

Anyone know what it should be aiming for as you clear the last scanner?????
:bounce:

[JessicaR]

MIB9's! Incredible information:bounce:

Would we be aiming at the opposite cars exhaust ports? Is this where I spin like crazy?

I am printing this out and will study it prior to next trip!! Yipeeeeeee! Thank you so much for these incredible lessons:)

[MIB999999]

JessicaR is correct, you had better be aiming for the opposite car exhaust port, that is if you are in it for the points.
AREA 4 HANDBOOK:
AREA 4: THE RUN FOR THE BUG:

Left Hand Track: This is the area you want to be in the car that loaded from rows 1 and 2.
As you clear the last of the two scanners you need to have your gun up and trigger pulled aiming for the EXHAUST PORT RED CIRCLE OF POINTS. There are three things to shoot at in this area. 1) THE EXHAUST PORT, 2) THE EXHAUST PORT, 3) THE EXHAUST PORT. The only time you will not be shooting the exhaust port is while the other car is spinning because you shot the exhaust port. There are green eyes on the right hand wall, There are aliens in the ceiling area that will cause your car to spin if you do not shoot them first. There are lots of secondary targets to shoot. The green eyes are my favorite, maybe due to the high point value of the green eyes in the tree in AREA 3. The second the other car is done with a spin aim for the exhaust port and do not come off of it. Even if the other car does not spin you are racking up points at the rate of 20,000 per hit. Even as you approach the hot dog cart and the green smart mouth alien and your car pivots forward, lean around the edge of your seat and still hit the exhaust port on the other car if you want 999,999.

Right Hand Track: This is the area you want to be in the car that loaded from rows 3 and 4.
As you clear the last of the two scanners you need to have your gun up and trigger pulled aiming for the EXHAUST PORT RED CIRCLE OF POINTS. There are three things to shoot at in this area. 1) THE EXHAUST PORT, 2) THE EXHAUST PORT, 3) THE EXHAUST PORT. The only time you will not be shooting the exhaust port is while the other car is spinning because you shot the exhaust port. There are aliens along the left hand wall and there is one alien in the ceiling that will cause your car to spin if you do not shoot him first. As you head down the straight-a-way you have an extra good target in the second story of the building on the left. A pair of green eyes that when you hit them they turn red. You will only hit this traget if the other car is spinning and you can not get a clear shot at the exhaust port. The second the other car is done with a spin aim for the exhaust port and do not come off of it. Even if the other car does not spin you are racking up points at the rate of 20,000 per hit. As the car in front and to the left of you pivots to face forward the red circle will disappear. switch aim to the trailing car on the left hand track and traget it's exhaust port. Do not come off of it until you can no longer get a clear shot.

You are now making the turns that will take you to the BUG.
You should have between 800,000 and 999,999 by this time.
Keep those triggers pulled and keep shooting even if you do not see any targets, do not let go of the trigger until the final spin sequence begins.

Things i have noticed of late.
1) You can be dead on the exhaust port and it will not register. some exhaust ports will only register with a side hit and not a straight on hit. It stinks but it happens.
2) Some guns score better on the exhaust ports than others. IT HAPPENS so do not get your knickers in a twist. Do not complain to the ride attendents. just hop back in the single riders line and give it another go. IT IS JUST A GAME, so have fun and enjoy it.
:bounce: :smooth: :D :eek: :p ;) :) :pinkbounc

[MIB999999]

AREA 5 HANDBOOK:
AREA 5: EATEN BY THE BUG:

Left Hand Track: as you round the the first curve at the end of the straight-a-way, continue to shoot at the exhaust port of the car in the right hand lane. If there is no car behind you then shoot at anything you find interesting. I have found no major point accumulators in this section of the track. The second you make the second curve aim at the eyes of the BUG and keep shooting. If you listen you will hear Zed say " ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO, PRESS THE RED BUTTON. When you hear the word LEFT start pressing the red button and keep the trigger on your gun pulled and pointing at the BUG'S eye. This will not garuntee you the 100,000 bonus but you will get it 95 out of 100 times by doing this. By this time you are under the bug and being fogged on and sprayed with internal bug juices. If you have over 800,000 you really have done very well and with just a bit of fine tuning and precise execution the 999,999 is within your reach.

Right Hand Track: As you round the first part of the curve continue to shoot at the exhaust port as long as you can. Yeah i know it is not easy to hit it from a turning moving target, but if you want 999,999 then keep trying. As on the Left Track there is very little to accumulate points with in this area, so just keep shooting at whatever you want but KEEP SHOOTING. As you round the last part of the curve, aim for the bugs eyes and keep shooting. . If you listen you will hear Zed say " ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO DO, PRESS THE RED BUTTON. When you hear the word LEFT start pressing the red button and keep the trigger on your gun pulled and pointing at the BUG'S eye. This will not garuntee you the 100,000 bonus but you will get it 95 out of 100 times by doing this. By this time you are under the bug and being fogged on and sprayed with internal bug juices. If you have over 800,000 you really have done very well and with just a bit of fine tuning and precise execution the 999,999 is within your reach.

Hint: i have seen as many as three people in one car get the 100,000. Usually it is 2 per car.

the only way to get more than 999,999 is to have this total on one gun before the end of AREA 4, no one sitting beside you, you pick up that gun and finish out the run with that gun and get the 100,000 bonus at the end.

I have tried the old wild west trick of using two guns at once and i will never embarass myself in that fashion again. It may look cool in the photo area, but if you are all about the score do one gun at a time, cause you are not that good. I found out i was not that good with two at once.

Well this is my routine and i am sure i will try some new wrinkles as continue to play this game. it has been fun sharing this with those who requested it. If you have any questions just ask or I am usually out there at 10:30 on saturdays just stop me and ask away.

YOU ASKED FOR IT MsDISNEY
:smooth: :eek: :cool: :) :D ;) :p :bounce: :smooth:

[MIB999999]

I ran a test today just to find out something: If you pull the trigger on your gun and point it at the ceiling for the whole ride and hit absolutely no targets, you will still end up with 20,225. :smooth:

[JessicaR]

MIB9's....is this how you try out new wrinkles? I am laughing so hard picturing you going through this ride with your gun pointed at the ceiling the whole time! After scoring 999999 a few times this is what you have resorted to!:D

[MsDisney]

MIB!!! You ROCK !!!!!!! I too am laughing out loud picturing MIB going through the ride with his gun aimed at the ceiling! People were probably looking at him like "moron doesn't know what to shoot at!" :D
I'm going to look like a moron with my printout on the ride next time too...I couldn't possibly hope to remember much of this since I've been on it a million times and still don't know what he's talking about some of the times! LOL I'm going, "cornstalk?" :confused:

Anyway, I for one, can't say enough thanks to ya MIB! I am really excited about getting out there and working on this! I didn't get a chance Sat. because with such short hours, we usually start at IOA and never seem to leave with enough time to go to the studios! (as in, they're closed!) That would be the kids' faults! I'll have to start practicing on weekdays! :)

I'm sure there will be questions, but not until we can all start putting this to work out there on the ride! ;)

Thanks again!!!
Karen :bounce: :bounce: :D

Hmm...I see people ending up with scores like 2,000 or 8,000. They're trying too hard. :)

Well i had never tried it before and hitting a high score is not top on my list of things left undone, so i thought i would give it a try. It was fun because i still beat two other people in the car.
Besides now that i add them up i had 7 999,999 games today. :bounce:

[BansheeBlue]

But also jealous once again. I want to be able to go to MIB enough times that I can just fire at nothing for the whole ride... :)

[sha_lyn]

MIB... well now we have our dates 1/10-1/13. We will be in the parks the 11 and 12. Russ (aka Flyingninja on the DIS) is looking foward to learning all your tips in person if you will be around either of those days.

sha_lyn as of now i will most likely be at the park 1/12. Since i live here let me know what your schedule is and i will meet you at MIB. I will have to have my cinnimon roll at CMB first but the rest of the day is just play time for me. :smooth:

[JessicaR]

I am convinced there is MIB magic in those cinnamon rolls! Come on MIB9's you can tell us...thats your secret weapon isnt it? What would happen if CMB...*gasp* was all out of cinnamon rolls? Would you have a big chocolate chip cookie instead?;)

[sha_lyn]

sounds good. I'll plan on the 1/12 for our IOA day. Look for the dweeby 12 yr old surounded by all the good looking girls( LOL) DS will be the only guy out of the 5 of us (me, 4yr DD, My sis and her 9yr DD).
I think I will be hearing "cool" a lot for the next 8 weeks. DS is so excited.

i have to admit jessica that when they closed confisco's i was a bit concerned that CMB would follow shortly.

you would LOL if you were with me on a saturday morning when i walk into CMB. They all say hi and automatically prepare a cinnimon roll with extra icing and a vanilla creme coffee. All i have to say is HI!! they are a good bunch of people and they ask some questions about MYTHOS and why i always eat lunch there and not at confisco's. ;)

I see a guy's versus girls competition. I would say your son and my combined score will double the girls combined score. :D :D

Remember that MIB is in Studios not IOA. If you want to do MIB first thing in the am they do have the same cinnimon roll in Studio's at Beverly Hills Boulangerie so i could meet you there first thing. It is your vacation so i will work around whatever time or ride schedule you have. Just say what time and where and i will be there. :bounce: :bounce:

LOL... I realized as I was posting it that I was posting wrong, but I thought I went back and changed it. It was a long day Thur, and DS and I were headign out of town for a campiong trip Friday morning.

[WebmasterBarry]

Here's a few more tips:

1.) Try to shoot at the aliens in the second floor.

2.) When you see the alien with the two guns, don't shoot at him. Hit the targets in the 2nd story windows. As you are backing up into the ambush area, shoot at the alien with the two guns. Aim at his eyes and you should get a few hits. I don't think it scores much, but at least it's better than nothing! :)

[big ian]

Great tips from MIB999999. I have ridden MIB about 100 times in the twice we have visited Universal and got my wife hooked on it. We have even been fortunate enough to get to ride against each other with just us in separate cars.

As MIB999999 indicates second floor eyes seem to give more points. As you straighten up in Area 4 by the cinema?? there is a pair of eyes in a window which most people seem to miss waving the laser across them racks up a good points score. Best done from the right hand side.

[MIB999999]

Ian, are you refering to the eyes on the left hand side second story, just to the left of the guy at the pay phone and straight up to the second floor. if so these do score well but not as much as the exhaust port. these eyes are my main secondary target to shoot while the other car is spinning. ;)

[big ian]

Yes those are the eyes. I sometimes get frustrated with the exhaust port and so manage to get off 6 - 8 shots at those eyes as they change from red to green

Going to read your tips on the plane over and see if I can improve my score.

Ian
:cool:

[MIB999999]

Some of the guns will not register with a straight on hit in the area after you come out of the scan. If that is the case hit any and all secondary targets. After you finish the 90 degree turn you will have a shot at the edge of the exhaust port of the other vechicle. it is a small target area but once you home in on it you will score big.

Frankly i am amazed at the number of views on this thread. Must be a lot of closet MIB fans out there digesting the info. :D

[MIB999999]

:pinkbounc bump:smooth:

[rocketman23]

Wassat mean?
Anyway, these tips were quite helpful. Within 5-8 tries with this guide I upped my high score from 990,250 to at last 999,999. I also noticed I do better in the morning. I don't know whether it's just me or what?

Do you think it's because it's less crowded? I was there this morning and generally, the cars were empty...I find it's a LOT easier to hit your targets without all those OTHER pesky red dots allover the place...

I can definitely tell you that I do a heck of a lot better without a bunch of MIB pro's riding with me! ;)

I got a personal best of 718, and change today...not good enough!!! It's tricky when you get in a groove where you hit the same targets, cuz obviously it's not enough! :(

Karen

[WebmasterBarry]

It's true. I score a lot better when I am not with a bunch of experts. I can have the good targets to myself. It's better if you're riding in a car all alone. Then you know which dot is yours! You can do that if you arrive right at opening at ride MIB a few times.

[MsDisney]

That's what I did today....for the most part, I had the car to myself, or was with 2 others....

You know what was really cool? A couple of times, different sets of kids rode with me after their parents rode once, and it was really nice to give them the suit - they were psyched, as they sat there with their 22,000 points! That was nice.

It's also nice to be alone in a car and beat a full car on the opposite track, but that would be tougher to do if it took the avg. of 6 players (with my score and 5 zeros), regardless of how many are in the car (which would make my score cosmically avg. at best!:rolleyes:) But they probably don't know that's how it is...sometimes those low scores can really bring you down! :D

Karen

[MIB999999]

i love it when the high score in the car (outside of my score) is 113,000 and the average shown on the board is 278,000 and we totally blow away the other car. All the others are whooping it up and i sit there in the back row with 999,999 and wonder, did they flunk math or what. They saw the average but have not made the connection of how the car got the average.

this is great MsDiz is now a MIB philanthrapist. she donates her high scoring ability to the kids so they get to see the suit.


:D :eek: :cool: :D

someone in my car picks up two guns at once, i just reach down and slap them. :D

congrats on the 999,999 to rocketmam23 and on the 718+++ to MsDiz. i know MsDiz put in a lot of sweat and time to get to that score. :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :smooth:

Yeah, I notice that a lot. The people in the front somehow think they averaged the 250,000 with scores of 48,000 and 52,000!

Hey, can you do that slap thing during the on-ride photo and send me a copy!:D

[MIB999999]

the photo people asked me to stop holding the gun to my head, so they will really go ballastic if a slap a two-gun-holder in the ambush area.

again great job on the 999,999

I had that happen, but the people in front of me obviously realized THEY weren't the reason for the avg. score of 242,000, cuz they looked at it, looked at eachother's scores and then turned around and looked at me. I said, "BOW TO ME!" - ok...I didn't say that...:rolleyes:

I don't like going on repeatedly all morning when it's dead...I start to feel a little self-conscious! :rolleyes: And I'm really glad, MIB that you never had the occasion to slap ME during out outing!:D Would you slap me if I shot at our OWN exhaust port???:D :D :D

Karen

[MIB999999]

No MsDiz cause if you shot at your own exhaust port you have not learned a thing grasshopper.

By the way exactly which exhaust port are we talking about???:D

[rocketman23]

My dad got a 999,999 from shooting his own exhaust port.:D

[MIB999999]

that must have been when the ride first opened and the blue-flame club was on hand:smooth:

[big ian]

Now back from Orlando after what was a one week vocation turned out to be three and a visit to Celebration Hospital.

Good to have seen you on the Saturday morning MIB999999 when we meet in Islands of Adventure but I was not a well man.

I have been following the thread and I am glad to see there are others who get a buzz from being responsible for getting others the suit, I only managed a couple of dozen rides on our first day. MIB was almost empty for most of the time, almost spooky so while I didn't improve on my best I managed a good enough score to see we got suited. Again riding in the back it amazing to look at the other scores and have people cheering when they have beaten the score of the other car and their own score where in the 50000.

Did notice however that some of the aliens now no longer appear to be responding.

Big Ian

[rocketman23]

A bit off topic, but was anyone there 1/1 early in the morning that got a 999,999? Because if not, I may have gotten the first perfect score of 2002. :p :D :p

[MIB999999]

Way to go rocketman23.

Heard a rumor that there is someone who can get 999,999 without ever shooting at the exhaust port. Have to ask some of the ride attendents i know if they know this guy. :confused:

[rocketman23]

Maybe the car that he was on stopped for a little bit allowing him to collect a good score from targets in the area 2. Other than that I couldn't see how this could be done. If it is true, I gotta know how!

EDIT: Nevermind... ;)

[SouthernMom]

Does anyone know where to find a video of the whole ride? I've never riden this before and would like to know what all of the things you are talking about are before I ride it. Thanks!

[MIB999999]

i do not belive such a thing as a video exists, that would be for public consumption.

[flyingninja]

thanks for the tips

[fox]

Thanks for the tips. I was at Universal last week and managed to get on MIB about 10 times. I was able to get my score up to 550,850 and never would have done it without reading this.

Never having been on MIB before, it took going through a few times too understand what you're talking about here. Then I read the tips again that night and realized I had forgotten about pressing the red button.

Even when I was "only" getting 150,000 or so, other people kept asking me how I got such a high score. Same thing as I saw someone else here say before, when sitting in the back and seeing the other low scores and people cheering when they got the suit.

I had room key from RPR for front of line. But single rider was usually shorter, and most of the time when I went through single rider line and showed my room key they either told me to go in single rider line because it was shorter or go to express if it was shorter. I preferred to use the express line because they always seem to go into the left lane - so it was easier to stick with one side and get used to it.

[Laurabearz]

I am finding this tread interesting. I have never been to US or IOA, but we have a trip planned for this September. Reading all the tips is not helping me at the momment... so I will print them out and take them with us....... :teeth:

BTW What is the suit and how do you get it! ROFL

[fox]

I understand what you're talking about. Since I had never been there, the tips didn't make sense to me. So I printed them out before I left and read them before getting there. Then, skimmed over them again before going to the park.

The first time, there was just so much that I forgot about most of the tips, but at least knew to hold the trigger in all the time and to shoot the exhaust on the other car.

But after that, I kept remembering more and more of the tips. It was really fun, and with room key to get FOTL, I was able to get on again and again. If you don't have FOTL, try the single rider line. Even if you have several people you should all get on within a few cars of each other - maybe even be opposite each other!

Have fun.

[WebmasterBarry]

I think that sometimes we get caught up in scoring 999,999 that we forget to have fun on the ride. I've read the tips and found some good pointers, but I never forget to have fun. My highest score was around 600,000. I think I will eventually score all 9's someday. Some people don't visit the park every week and ride MIB 30 times a day. :)

Besides, even if you score 200,000 or 300,000 or even more, it's worth it to see the faces of the guests next to you. The guests sitting next to you will have scores of 50,000 or so and they will feel they were hot stuff. Then they look over at my score of 400,000 or so and their jaws drop!

[MIB999999]

we know what you mean barry, when the fantastic four ride with you and we see your score our jaws do drop. :p ;)

[paulakim]

I just got off the phone with a universal operator and she said you can't use the fotl for MIB. Is this true? If so how long is the wait. thanks Paula

[WebmasterBarry]

If you are referring to your room keys, you can definitely use them on MIB. I've done it many times. Just go through the Universal Express line.

[paulakim]

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I knew that there were a couple rides you couldn't use them on but MIB was never mentioned to me untill i called yeasterday. She obviously didn't know what she was talking about. :D

[MIB999999]

the way things exist we are all going to have to stop using the letters FOTL when we mean EXPRESS.

FOTL is a perk of the VIP tour which is an extra you pay for.

EXPRESS is a room key, or express pass machine function. :smooth:

[paulakim]

I see. That is just what they called it when i made my reservations. "frount of the line". I understand that you will have to wait in the regular express line and you may or may not end up in the fotl. thanks! :cool:

very good guide Rocketman23.

:smooth:

[dcookies]

I just got off the phone with a universal operator and she said you can't use the fotl for MIB.

NOT TRUE!!!!

We just returned - we were at HRH form 8/27 through today. We used our room key to get into the Express line at MIB, many, many, many times! My kids loved this ride, and must have done it over 50 times in the 4 days we went to the parks.

[phamton]

I just wanted to thank you for your tips. We are just back from 3 days Universal and IoA and 7 days at WDW. We stayed on site and used front of the line access on MIB at least 10 times. We did MIB for the first time and my husband and I and 2 teen sons scored an average of 47,000. Then we pulled out these tips that I had printed off for our trip (I printed a copy for each of us.) We each skimmed the tips and went back and tried again and averaged 400,000. Major improvement there!

None of us ever scored 999,999 but were averaging 700,000 by the end of the trip. We couldn't remember all of the tips but did study them when we got back to the HRH each night. The part that helped us the most was to shoot between the eyes, putting the other car into a spin, and making sure we all got the 100,000 bonus points at the end. We looked for "MIB999,999" on Saturday morning Nov. 2 as we read he was there on most Saturday mornings but since I didn't know what he looked like or his real name, we couldn't find him.

[MIB999999]

MIB999999 has been with MsDisney since the early part of this year and we have not been there on saturday's due to little league games for the boys.

we were there 11/10 and rode a few times. MsDis had the misfortune of getting a bad gun both times. MIB9's hit 999,999 once. :smooth:

glad the tips were of help. 700,000 is a great score. :bounce: :bounce:

[Deevan]

Hey straight 9's are possible without going for the exhaust port. One thing that wasn't mentioned is the octopus alien between the two tracks that pops up out of the barrel after the scanner. He's hard to hit, but two consecutive shots on him is almost 250,000 points, easy. After that just lay your laser dot on the scaffolding aliens and you should have straight 9's coming out of the scanner/detour scene.

Jason

[MIB999999]

MsDis and MIB9's will check it out next time we are there. one of us will shoot and the other will watch the score to see how many points you actually get from this target. that is if we can hit it!!!:smooth:

[Deevan]

Well, all I know is that I can go into the scanner with 600 or so and come out with about 950... Exact point values? Not sure.. but those two sets are the definite sweet spots.

Jason

[Tigger&Belle]

I had fun reading though these posts. I did some reading before our trip Aug 01 and we did ok, but will study up before our next trip in April.

One funny thing that happened in 01 was that a older teenage guy was seated in our car and his friends were in the car opposite us (they must have had too many people to all fit in one car). He took one look at me and my kids and looked like he was wondering what he'd done wrong to get stuck with us. He gave us a pointer (ie, do you know about the _____?) and we said, "yes, and do you know about x, y, and z?". He looked surprised and was happy when we not only kicked alien butt, but also beat his friends by far. :)

My daughter (13yo at the time) remembers getting close to 600,000. Hopefully we'll be able to repeat that if not improve.

[UKAnnie]

MIB999999 - Just to say thanks for the tips. It's my husband's favourite ride. We went last month with daughter and son-in-law. Both the guys got the magical 'all the nines'. Us girls are not far behind - daugher on 900,000+ and I'm on 804,000+. At least us gals have something to aim for on our next trip!

Funniest ride for me was when I was in a car with two teenage boys. They scored quite low, looked at my very high score (me being a middle-aged woman, old enough to be their grandmother) and said - "I guess our guns must be broken"!

We always use single rider line and just cut through the baby swop, never go on the same car together as we end up aiming at the same targets. By the end of two weeks, the attendants were telling us how much they were going to miss us!

Thanks again.

Ann.

[MIB999999]

You are most welcome.

this ride seems to hold a special fascination for those from the United Kingdom. The ride attendents are great and get to know frequent riders quickly.

an added bonus that was not known at the time the handbook was done.

right after the scan, there are two alien over the left track and one over the right track that drop down from the ceiling. on the I-beam behind them are the sensors to shoot for and they are worth big points. If you find the sensors, keep shooting them since they continue to give good points, even better than the exhaust port:smooth:

[Luvinit]

Thanks for all of the GREAT tips!!!! I Finally got to BEAT my BIL!!! The look on his face when he saw my score was PRICELESS!!! I will NEVER tell my secert to him!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!

[dogg2727]

To bad they don't take a picture at the end so you could get that priceless look. They take it at the 6 against one alien which I think was suppose to be smart planning but no one caught on. When the alien would say don't shoot, don't shoot, it is suppose to make everyone stop shooting and put their guns down so that when they took the picture, you could see a great picture of yourself. I just love this ride. Also check out my updated handbook that clearifies a little more and is all neat in one thread instead of bits and pieces.

when you guys say not to let go of the trigger, do you mean keep pressing the trigger non-stop, or literally holding down the trigger from the start to the end of the ride? thanks

[dogg2727]

We me pull and hold down the trigger from beginning to end. You get an easy 20,000 just for shooting the ceiling the whole ride. So if you get less, you stink. No offense.

[Patch'sD]

Didn't see these tips before our trip, what a bummer. However after talking with the ride ops we were given enough tips to get respectable scores. My son got 741,000 and I was at 600,000. Even my daughter was getting 300,000 scores. I scanned this post and didn't see anything on the Baby Alien in the Baby Carriage or the Mailbox Alien. These are some of the tips we got from the ride Ops. Never looked to see the actual scores from these guys though. But the ride Ops are a very friendly bunch and we were on a first name basis after the second day, they made the ride even better. Noisy Cricket II stinks could never get above 250,000 with that gun. Next time, 999,999

The baby carriage alien you have to hit the sensor's directly or it will not activate. it is also difficult to hit if you are on he right side of the car on the left track. to many heads in the way

i am interested in what the ride ops told you about the mail box alien. :smooth:

[dogg2727]

Yeah unless there is something MIB999999, rocketman, and I missed, I don't believe there is much to be given out of the mailbox alien. He is really there for show in my mind. I am more focused on the Eyeball or the second story windows. Anything on the first story that is close to you isn't worth much (except the baby alien which we know is a big exception). Oh and by the way, Anyone who is interested can check out my brand new guide on my very own webpage. This is a miracle in itself because I have never created a webpage before and it actually came out pretty good. Still waiting for the response about getting it on IOAcentral.com. I hope I get that confirmation :)

[Patch'sD]

No points were given, Where told good point totals where for Frank the dog, Baby Alien, and Mailbox Alien. Sorry for little Info. Mailbox Alien does get red eyes. I think to busy shooting. With Express we were limited to the left side so we were getting good at Baby Alien.

[Motherfletcher]

We have to keep this thread open until I get a chance to read all the pages. I live in constant competition with my DD15 who scored a 999999 on one gun and 167800 on another on his 15th birthday. I printed your older handbook which gave me as good an edge as possible and I could see my son aiming at the same targets. When I tried to share your info I was ignored. Any updates? I had a hard time finding all of the targets.
Any truth to the rumor that you shoot your own exhaust port?
We are normally in the 500000 range. We rarely loose to the other car.

[daywalker]

Just got back from my trip and managed to bag all nines 3 times and alot of near misses (980-995k's). Everytime I got all nines I only came out of training with 20-30k. I've always struggled in training even with the tips here.

In Area 2 where MIB999999 suggests going for the alien on the fire hydrant. I aim for something else. On the Left hand side there is a building with 6 windows, 3 aliens in the the bottom ones (plus one outside). On the second story, in the end window there is an alien that pops up in here. The window is split in two and there are two sensors at the top of the split (Just below what you can see of the bottom of the aliens torso) I tended to bang these alot and on occasions I got the noise you get for hitting the exhaust point, along with a stack of points!

To be perfectly honest, it's all down the gun you get, I found some of them to be much more sensitive than others, my scores ranged from 218k - 999,999 Obviously I am not perfect everytime but the gun makes a massive difference and can be the difference between maxing and not IMO.

Good luck all.

[the Dark Marauder]

I'm getting better on both sides, moreso on the left lane than the right. I never knew about the fire hydrant alien, so I will have to try and shoot him down.

Congrat's on the 999,999. If i am having trouble hitting the right area of the Hydrant Alien I will go up and hit the alien you are talking about once or twice. I will then always go over the the alien on the right side, second story for the big points before the spin. I will have to check out the other one and see how many points you get for repeated hits. Thanks for the info. The gun really does make a difference. We have found that it is hard to explain the problem to the ride attendents when your score is over 300,000 and you try to tell them the gun is not working properly. :smooth:

Hey Dark Marauder, nice to have met you at HHN. Just once i would like to ride through MIB with all the lights up to full, just to be able to see all the sensors. The sensors on the Hydrant alien are sometimes hard to hit. Next time i get to ride in the left track on the right side of the car i am going to try to see exactly where they are located:smooth:

[the Dark Marauder]

I do get a few hits on the hydrant alien. Sometimes more than others. When I got 913k, I got all the hits on him. I thought it was so cool seeing him rise up and the water below.

After I shoot him I aim for the aliens up high, then at the gun of the big eyeball alien. If I'm doing well, I'll enter the ambush area with 300k+

[daywalker]

OK MIB, I'm not saying my target is worth more than your hydrant one, I just struggled to get the sensor on the hydrant!
Switched to the one I talked about all the time and got the distinctive 'ker-ching' sound on occasions. Not sure what the target is worth but whenever I entered the spin after a 'ker-ching' it was always with one of my better scores.

Will be interesting to see what you can find out.

[phamton]

I've thanked you, Kevin, before for this awesome guide but I just have to do it again. Thank-you, buddy! Now my two teen sons get 999999 almost every time and my husband gets it fairly often. (I'm still in the 7-800,000 range.)

But today! Woohoo! My youngest son got 100,000 plus in the training area and the next time he got 110,000! Yes, the training area! Since he consitently gets the 9's, if no one is sitting by him, he'll pick up another gun when he gets the 9's (and has maxed out his gun) and scores some more points. He got 999999 today and then another 459,00 with the second gun. He can sometimes max out one gun by the time he gets to the scan and then get more points after the scan with a second gun.

My sons are really hoping they meet you sometime to thank you for all your excellent tips. Did I mention how much we love living in Orlando? We don't even miss Texas.

Finally, finally, finally I got the 999,999 today. Life is good!

Bev

[rocketman23]

Congrats... the first is always the hardest!

[phamton]

Thank you, Rocketman! I was afraid my wonderful news would be lost in this long (and relatively inactive) thread. I seriously considered renting a billboard! ;)

Only one thing marred my experience. We have a rather recent tradition in our family. The first time someone gets the 999,999 in our family, we buy the photo. Both my sons and my husband have pictures (three pictures in all.) Well today, the photo didn't catch any scores for my winning picture and showed zero for everyone's score on the photo. It happens from time to time but why, oh why did it have to happen when I finally got my 999,999? I'll just have to max out again soon on MIB so I can buy the picture.

[Motherfletcher]

My 2 kids and I went on MIB last night about 7. The queue was long so we hit the single riders line. I ended up in the back seat with 2 guys in their mid-twenties. The one next to me leaned over and told me to keep my finger on the trigger. "You mean to keep the trigger engauged?", I asked naively.
We got through the first area and I had 30k. Not my best but 3 times more than the other 2. I did good in the next area but when it came to our car hitting the opponents exhaust port these guys were terrible! I finally turned the gun on our own exhaust port and let us spin. I ended up with 600k while the other 2 had 129 & 140k, pathetic! Pulling into the dock I asked the guy, How'd I do?" "How did you score so high?", he asked. "I kept the trigger engaged!"

[phamton]

I love riding single rider. For me, it is easier to get my points as my husband, sons, and I aren't all competing for the same targets. Nothing like seeing a mass of red laser dots and trying to figure out which one is yours!

I do the same thing that you do when I'm with strangers. They always seem to want to give me helpful hints. I just smile and say "thanks for the tips." One teen warned me to never push the red button or it would make us spin. So when I pushed it for the bonus points at the end (the one where you go into a spin inside the big, big bug) he said "I told you it would make us spin." I said, "Oops." But I left the ride with around 920,000 points and he left with 45,000.

[rocketman23]

I saw one kid once that thought the reason the ride stopped midway through the training area was because he pressed the red button. His mom actually scolded him.

Try asking the operator after you get all 9's: "I beat the game, can I ride again?"

That is a really great score by yourself since i see later in the thread you got the BIG 9's. Your son's score with two guns is really great. It sure out does what i have been able to do with two guns.

Way to go and it is great to find others that enjoy the game as much as the rest of us do!!!! :smooth:

[Pooh667]

Hi,

I will be going to US/IOA very soon and it will be my first time on many rides, MIB included. I have been reading the tips, but when you say sensors, what does the sensor look like?

Thanks,
Susan:D

[phamton]

My son has some pictures of what the sensors look like on different aliens at: http://www.meninblack.tk

He has circled some sensors on the "Alternate Aliens Green Side" link on that page.

There are many kinds of sensors. Some are easy to see and some aren't. Many of them are 2" square metal plates.

Bev

[Pooh667]

Hi Bev,

Thanks so much for the information. I appreciate it.

Very nice pictures and good shots of some of the sensors. How did you find out about the sensors on the wall in the alley leading to the ambush area????

:smooth:

[phamton]

One of the ride ops at MIB who had walked the track many times told us about those sensors.

We are pretty sure that the sensors aren't working on the green side (outside track) though. They are very easy to see on the green side but none of us have been able to get any points off of them. But the ones on the red side (inside track)which aren't very visible behind the ventian blinds on the window, give 15,000 points per shot. I don't know why the ones are disabled on the green side. I'm not sure if they're broken or intentionally disabled.

But on the red side, those sensors behind the venetian blinds at the ambush can really rack up some points. They are active even before you have turned to face them in the ambush.

Bev

[signtalker]

What a great thread!!!!

Have enjoyed reading it, and hoping to put everything into practise on my 2005 trip!:)

[pumpkinfish]

I just wanted to thank MIB9999999999999999 for this fabulous thread that looks like it has been going on for quite some time. I have been reading all these tips and laughing, because I thought i knew it all when I knew to push the red button at the end! HA! I feel like a fool. BUT, I am so excited and looking forward to our trip in Sept, because I am on a mission. The first time my DH and I rode MIB, I killed him in points. This irritated him because he had done so well at Buzz Lightyear. Well, our next trip on the ride and every time thereafter, he has totally kicked my butt. So now...I have the power in my hands! :sunny: I am so stoked (as my brother-in-law would say!) AND I don't plan on letting my husband in on the secret! Thanks again Mr.MIB99999999. I appreciate the hardwork you put into the tips and allowing others to live your 9999999999 dream! :jumping1:

[maggiew]

OK. Just back from Universal for the first time. Let me just say that I did read this thread before going on MIB. I read it but didn't study it. I didn't memorize which aliens to hit or anything. But I got general tips. And I am proud to say that I got 308,000 on my first try!! This is pretty good from someone who usually is a Galactic Zero on Buzz Lightyear. I did get the bonus 100,000 for hitting the red button, but only because I knew about it. You couldn't really hear Z say push the red button.

Thanks for the help. Maybe next time I will study the tips and get to 999,999!

Maggie

[pumpkinfish]

maggiew

Good for you! You are my inspiration right now for the upcoming trip. I still plan on beating my DH... and haven't told him about the secrets I learned either ;)

[JenniferW]

Ok, since we are going in a month I am making my cheat sheet, it's really long when I print it all out so am going to try to condense it to a few pages. Wish me luck, my hubby is the type A personality who always scores better, and we both look at the tips.... That's how I convince him for another trip : )


Jenn

[GrimReapuh]

Very cool, I doubt I can get 999,999 because I will be looking at all the details...

[Shutterbug]

this was my gfs fav ride of the whole Disney/universal trip.
There was no line at all, we walked onto the ride which might have been part of our problem. The other part of the problem was leaving the tips at home.

Since we were always walking on to the ride we never watched of the training vids. We never saw anything about choosing a gun. How do we do this.

The two tips I did remember was keep finger on the trigger and aim for the eyes. My highest was above 200,000.

Her and I were the only 2 people in the car on our last ride of the day and managed to get suited. Whats the average needed to get suited?

[phamton]

You don't really get to choose a gun. There is no average needed to get the suit, you just have to beat the other car's score that is across form you to get the suit.

[Shutterbug]

On all the other times where we did beat the other car, never got the suit. Wasnt till the last one where we got the suits. Was there a program malfunction possibly?

[phamton]

Hmmm.. I thought you just had to beat the other car. I just asked the question and should get answered by some employees/experts on the ride in a little while. I always max out so whatever car I am on gets the suit. I can't remember not getting the suit. I'll find out though.

[Shutterbug]

Thanks. On the one we got the suits I had 206,875 and she got 112,500. There was no one else in the car.

[phamton]

OK, here's the answer from an MIB agent:

"You have to have an average of 150,000 to get the suit ending.

Think about it this way, if one car gets 0, and the other gets 250, then why should the 250 car deserve the suit ending? That's a horrible score. "

[Shutterbug]

Okay so since we got an average of 159,6875 we got the suits.
Well heres another question do you need to have an average of 150,000 and beat the other car to get the suits?

Say our car gets beat but we still have 150,000 average do we still get the suits?

Thanks!

[phamton]

As long as your car average is 150,000 or more, you will get the suit ending even if the other car beats you.

[Universal FReak]

I go to Universal or IOA every other day but i have only gotten 987,000
im so freaking close but i need a few more points

Also is it better to shoot the sensors under the bug at the end or go for the bonus???????????????

[phamton]

I'll be glad to meet you there sometime and give you some tips. You can easily get 200,000 points off of the sensors on the big bug and it's not unusual to get 300,000 from shooting the sensors. Don't go for the ones under the bug as most of them are not active sensors. Shoot the round circles under the claws that move up and down. Do not hit the red button at all as your gun shuts off at that moment and the only points you will get will be the bonus.

Bev

[Corporal_Radar]

the highest i have ever gotten on that ride is 800,000 solid...

if you take the left side, at the end when you have to shoot at eachother, there is a small alien in the 2nd story of the building right after you get out of the little over hang((( or whatever you want to call it))) shoot at him like you have never shot before!!!!! keep on aming at him untill you get around the corner... then

the rocket that is on the billboard at the end, over where will smith is explaining how big the bug is, you need to shoot at the far tail of the rocket, and you easily get acouple of thousand points...


just remember,

the smaller the target, the more points it is worth...

[Universal FReak]

cool thats what i thought

when were u last there i was there wearing a revenge of the mummy hat
just wondering if i already met u

[phamton]

cool thats what i thought

when were u last there i was there wearing a revenge of the mummy hat
just wondering if i already met u

Yes, I did ride with a guy a few times with the revenge of the mummy hat. I'm the one who almost always gets straight 9's. I asked if you worked at the Mummy with my son. I am 50 something years old and have shoulder length blonde hair. I moderate the discussion board at ioacentral.com.

Bev

[Universal FReak]

yeah i thougth that was u
thanks again for the tips

yeah i forgot to tell u i got 987,000
i was in a hurry to ride the mummy

[phamton]

yeah i thougth that was u
thanks again for the tips

yeah i forgot to tell u i got 987,000
i was in a hurry to ride the mummy

Well one more exhaust hit would have gotten you over the top for all 9's. So close and yet so far!

[Universal FReak]

yeah i know if only i had gotten it
also where are the sensors on the drop down bugs i cant really tell
and is it better to shoot the exhaust port when u are facing the screen before the bug or to hit something else

[phamton]

The sensors are on the bar that runs horizontal not on the bugs. They are square computer chips. I usually hit the dropdown bugs first but you can hit the exhaust then if you want to. I usually don't because other people are usually shooting at the exhaust. I wait to hit the exhaust when we aren't facing the other car. I even turn around and shoot them from behind. I can hit the exhaust 20 or so times if I need to. You can also shoot the green eyes in the two movie posters (on the red side of the track) after you come out of the scanner.

[Universal FReak]

oh i never knew about the sensors on the bar
thanks i think next time i go ill be able to get 999999

for some reason i can't get anything above 700000 on the right side
what are the differences that i need to look out for

[phamton]

The right side is what I call the red side becuase you stand on red marks when you are waiting to load. The other side has green numbers that you stand on.

The red side is harder as there are not as many targets also the sensors on the big bug do not work on the red side. You can aim for the sensors on the green side of the bug though.

There is a dog on the news stand on the red side that is good to hit also many posters with green eyes that turn red when you shoot them. 2 posters are right when you come out of the scanner on the red side and also another poster of an alien with glasses just before you get to Will Smith warning you about the big, big bug.

There is also a hidden sensor in some window blinds in the ambush area on the red side that give you 10,000 a hit. Nothing else in the ambush (trashcan) area is worth much though. It is easier to hit the alien that goes back and forth in the window in the training area when you are on the red side.

[Universal FReak]

what area is the dog in
also should i just hit the targets for the left side in the crash site or are there specific targets i should go for
and is the baby carriage better than the fire hydrant alien

[Universal FReak]

just for other peoples eyes the website universal-excitement.com has a video of the whole MIBAA ride

[phamton]

what area is the dog in
also should i just hit the targets for the left side in the crash site or are there specific targets i should go for
and is the baby carriage better than the fire hydrant alien

The dog is right before you get to the fire hydrant on the red side. You can only hit him if you are on the red side.

I do both the baby and the fire hydrant but I think the fire hydrant is better as you can only get 2 or 3 shots off of the baby carriage before the sensors go inactive while the fire hydrant stays active for my longer. You can hit it 10 or so times.

I seldom bother with the aliens in the crash site as the points are minimal.

what i meant was what other aliens in area 2 for the red side are high in points
should i just hit the usual guy who makes the glass breaking noise and the guy who appears in the window before the ambush

[phamton]

That's basically all.

After the crash scene you enter China town before entering the ambush at the trashcans. There is an alien in a window right next to the glass breaking alien. It is the one with the window shade that opens and closes. The sensor is on the bottom of the window sill. It is worth more than the glass breaking one. You can also shoot the guns that the giant eyeball alien has. My favoirite is when you are leaving the crash scene and right before you enter the ambush (trashcan area). It is in Chinatown in the upstair window on your right hand side who comes up slowly in the window and, when you shoot him, his green eyes turn red and it makes a weird sound. This one is worth 15,000 a shot and like the others, the sensor is on the bottom of the window sill not on the alien. It becomes active right after you do the spin at the breaking glass alien.

[Universal FReak]

the one that comes up slowly is the one above the alien that shoots water(orange lights) overr your car right

also mib999999's guide said something about having to shoot the curtains to make them open....is that true

also today i went for a while but at most only got 916,000.....my only improvement was in the training area where i got 80,000

[phamton]

the one that comes up slowly is the one above the alien that shoots water(orange lights) overr your car right

Yes, that's the one.

also mib999999's guide said something about having to shoot the curtains to make them open....is that true
I don't know about that. Which curtains?

also today i went for a while but at most only got 916,000.....my only improvement was in the training area where i got 80,000

I rode once on Saturday at around 6:00. Got the 9's and left for the Mardi Gras activities. You'll get all 9's soon. I just know it. Try to turn around and shoot the other car's exhaust more from behind. Most people stop shooting it when they aren't facing the other car anymore. It's easier to get multiple shots from behind.

[Universal FReak]

if you look at his guide for the left side(green side) you can find the curtain alien at the bottom of the crash site area......he list 1,2 and 3 im pretty sure its one of those
also yesterday they brought out more cars because of the high amount of people andi had a couple of guns that didn't register on the exhaust from the front so i missed out

im still having trouble hitting the drop down bugs......where exactly should i shoot to get points off of them

thanks again for telling me the sensor for the alien in the window is on the window sill....i thought it was somewhere else because sometimes i scored points off of him before he came up all the way

[phamton]

if you look at his guide for the left side(green side) you can find the curtain alien at the bottom of the crash site area.

Oh I know which one you mean. Yes, you have to keep shooting to keep the curtain open.


im still having trouble hitting the drop down bugs......where exactly should i shoot to get points off of them


_x__x__9__x__x_

The alien is the 9 and the x's are the sensors. They are on the bar and ledge that holds the alien not on the alien itself.

Corporal Radar mentioned:
you need to shoot at the far tail of the rocket, and you easily get acouple of thousand points...

The poster above Will Smtih that says "Blast Off" and has a picture of a rocket does not have any sensors on it at all. If you got points it was only because every 10th shot gives you points whether you hit anything or not.

[Universal FReak]

yeahi knew that didn't have any sensors

anyway all i can say is finally

I went twice today on MIB with my brother......the first time i got 933,695
close right
then i asked if i could go again

these were my results
training:80,000
crash site:314,000
ambush:560,000
Run for the bug:934
bug:999999

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS

thanks for the help on getting the 9's
this was really great
i bought the biggest picture possible and no one in my family can even come close

they usually get the following
Dad:180,000-370,000
Mom:19,000-180,000
Oldest brother:63,000-91,000
middle brother:200,000-280,000
me:850,000-999,999(the 800's are on the right side for me i have the left side down)

[Corporal_Radar]

i went there saturday and the first time my friends said "i hope your gun doesnt work!!!!!!"

and guess what... id didnt... i only got a score of 15,000 points...

then we went on it again and i got somewhere over 870,000

then i blew rasberries in their direction and stuck my toung out... they all got an average of 400,000pts or higher... but lower than 550,000

i am good... but not as good as most of you all on here....

^___^ i envy you all...

[Universal FReak]

i was there on saturday too
of course every time i go i usually where my ROTM hat
it looks like the one that the people who work there wear

i know what you mean on saturday none of my guns registered on the exhaust point from the front only the side
i still got above 800,000 but this was deffinently a bad day for me

yesterday on the other hand was really good
first time 933,000
second time 999,999

dont worry youll be able to get higher eventually
what aliens do you hit anyway

i go through a basic routine every time
i never really go for the small aliens but the very well hidden ones

If any one here ever sees a teenager with a red ROTM hat on just ask if he is universal freak
chances are it is going to be me
__________________________________________________ _______________
finally 999,999 on MIB :smooth:

[Corporal_Radar]

i went with my friends on saturday... 2 out of us four wore red cat in the hat hats, and we got on in the single rider lines.... i am going this weekend to see the temptations... hopefully we will meet up there????

[Universal FReak]

yeah i will probably be there on saturday
i always ride in the singles line
im probably going to just be ok on MIB that day because when there are a lot of people they bring out the cars that dont register well or only on the exhaust port onthe side so its really luck of the draw

[Corporal_Radar]

... that sucks.. i will keep that in mind....

[Universal FReak]

yeah it sucks when they do that

i have never gotten anyhting above 250,000 with the noisy criket thing
also they pop up blocker on my computer didn't let me read your message that you sent back to me so can you send it again or just write it in a normal post.....thanks

[phamton]

My pop up blocker does that too. Just click on the link at the top of this page that says "User CP" then click on "list messages" under the private message link and you can read it there.

[Universal FReak]

oh cool thanks
when do you think meninblack.tk will have a new server

thanks again for the help on MIB
what is the next time you think you will go???

[Corporal_Radar]

i go this saturday due to good report card^___^

[Universal FReak]

thats cool......today i went and hit 999,999 twice and the other time 935,000 :(
only because the other car didn't start the same time we did so i had no exhaust port to hit......how did you post this at 11:00 AM....did you have school or did you have the day off or something

[Corporal_Radar]

i have a bst class... no one ever listens to the teacher.. and i do not think she gives a hoot what we do on the internet... plus... yesterday was early day...

^__^ do you have a car???

[Universal FReak]

i didn;t have short day yesterday because my school is doing something stupid for hurricane days

[Corporal_Radar]

you are still making up for hurricane days???

wow... my school district was over that around december... they cute some time out of our winter break....

it cut out of my universal time...

[Universal FReak]

yeah i know what you mean
my school sucks they are taking away a lot of our days......i don't care i just take them off anyway

[phamton]

you are still making up for hurricane days???

wow... my school district was over that around december... they cute some time out of our winter break....

it cut out of my universal time...

Orlando was hit by 3 hurricanes this school year. Most of the rest of the state was only hit by 1 or 2. We took a direct hit for all 3 hurricanes and lost more days than most of the other school districts so we had more days to make up.

[Universal FReak]

i know that orlando got it worse but corporal radar lives like 10 minutes away from me
my school just hates us thats all
they dont give us anything new and our pricipal is worried about school dances so she bans them

[Corporal_Radar]

man, i cant believe that... that is soooo odd...

*wonders back on topic*

i went to universal this past saturday, and i was VERY dissapointed with my score...

425,000

i wanted to go again.. but we hade to make it to the next ghostbusters show...

[Universal FReak]

corporal do u know where i can find a video of ROTM in california with night vision...i have one that isn't in night vision buts it is the best i can get....i figure no one will care that this is off topic because no one really ever posts on this that often
:)

[Corporal_Radar]

... no i dont... i am so sorry... i wish i could have one too..

[Foladar]

sweet .. got 418,000 on this ride, my highest yet .. and I didn't even know of this topic :( I'm going back in 3 weeks or 2 months .. not sure yet

[Universal FReak]

418,000 isn't bad but try to get better next time u go if u need help maxing out just ask

[Foladar]

418,000 isn't bad but try to get better next time u go if u need help maxing out just ask
I know 418,000 isn't bad .. and of course I'm going to try better .. who tries worse next time? :confused3

[Universal FReak]

my bother thats who
he gets worse every time he goes on oh and i got a new high score
1,312,000
mewning i maxed out on one gun and then switched to another one to finish the ride

[ThePhantomsGirlfrien]

Besides, even if you score 200,000 or 300,000 or even more, it's worth it to see the faces of the guests next to you. The guests sitting next to you will have scores of 50,000 or so and they will feel they were hot stuff. Then they look over at my score of 400,000 or so and their jaws drop!

Ha ha - I KNOW that! I am getting better - but I usually get AT LEAST 250,000+ whereas many people on with me tend to get from 6,000 to 50,000. They look at my score and are absolutely amazed.... of course that may also be because I am not a young kid...I'm a chubby-ish woman who looks 40's or so. It's soooo much fun to outshoot the teenage boys... :cool1:

[Universal FReak]

u would never out shoot this teenage boy:smooth:

[Foladar]

Yeah, Imagine .. I'm about 18, and when I went on Friday, there was a load of school kids out. I ended up with half a group of 10 of these kids my age, and they were in the range around 5,000 and had no clue what they were doing. I also had to teach these four year olds who kept getting put next to me.. None had any idea what to do or even how to do the seatbelt, I remember hearing one kid who was like 7 saying to his brother "Man he's good" when I scored 400,000 lol

[Universal FReak]

i went on saturday and maxed out everytime....it made me really mad when this little girl told everyone in her family that i cheated and that she got the best score(she had 24,000 and got the bonus) i guess im not really mad but i hate it that i try so hard and then people dont appreciate my work
i sometimes think i would have more people believing me if i stopped at 956,000 or something
(my new mib high score:1,312,000 yahhhh or for u more precise people 1,311,999)

[phamton]

i went on saturday and maxed out everytime....it made me really mad when this little girl told everyone in her family that i cheated and that she got the best score(she had 24,000 and got the bonus) i guess im not really mad but i hate it that i try so hard and then people dont appreciate my work


You've got it all wrong. You do it for yourself not to impress anyone. If someone comments and asks for help then you teach them or give them some hints. Then whenever their score increases, you cheer them on. I get more excitement seeing one of my "former students" improving and even exceeding my score. Sometimes I ride with them and we see who can max out first. Many of them have far surpassed me and I couldn't be prouder.

its just that i was told by almost everyone i rode with that day that i cheated
it would be different if she asked my for help or asked what aliens u should hit

anyway on that day i was helping someone
my next door neighbor is a couple years younger than me and ever since i helped him he has increased his score from 111,000 to 396,000....he still has some work but i think he is doing great for his age
i really thought that he was going to beat me on one of the runs becasue i idn't do so well
the cool thing is is that he has beaten everyone else in my family :rotfl2:

[Corporal_Radar]

haha guys.. i am finally back on the boards... long time no see to all of you^___^

anyways... iam going march 9th to see lynard skynard in concert... though the lead singers brother is now the head of the band, I am not sure I want to see them… I do not know hw they would sound with his brother…

anyways,

when I go with my friends… we are riding nothing but MIB the whole day… with occasional stop off at dueling dragons, ROTM, and the hulk. I plan to try and max out this time…

[Universal FReak]

yeah my brother and i are going to see lynyrd skynyrd
i am going to try and get him to max out
he still doesn't believe me so i am just going to have to crush him in a game of mib
:teeth:

[Slacking]

I have never been accused of cheating (and I have ridden waaaaaaay too many times), but even if I had been, who cares, its not like you'll ever see these people again.

It is funny though when people point out my scores. Most of the time, it is always the father of the group who has to point out my score as if I am threatening his position as alpha male. Its quite hilarious to see.

But, one of the last times I went (2-3 weekends ago, wow), a mother and her son were riding in the SRL, and I was placed in the same car as the mother. At the end of the ride, she was so excited to see my score, much more excited than I was, lol. After we got off, she ran to the other side, grabbed her son by the arm and dragged him over to where I was sitting. It was pretty hilarious to see BTW Bev, I was in a hurry, so didn't stick around to give pointers, sorry ;) )

Bev, can you believe its only been a little voer a year since we've been able to consistently max out?

[phamton]

Bev, can you believe its only been a little over a year since we've been able to consistently max out?

I know. It seems like much longer. I think I first maxed out the first part of Jan.2004 but I wasn't consistent. It took even longer to max out on the red side and even longer if I got a cricket.

I remember the first time I did it and rushed down to purchase the picture and was so upset to see that the picture had all the scores as zero.

mib999999 i have been waiting to get a chance to thank u for the great guide u made
im only just a kid and ur guide has helped me from the start and of course bev helped me a lot too
i really just want to thank all of u for the great help
i now pass the well known secrets of this famed ride onto my friends and family and find it amazing that so many people have looked for help and have been able to max out on this ride
my next acomplishment is to max out with a cricket
i have been able to master the right and left side, but when i have a cricket i find myself dropping down to the 6 and 7 hundreds

anyway i really feel like i have been an idiot with my past couple of posts and would like to thank u all for your help:teeth:
also it would be cool to meet up with u guys sometime at unviersal and really test our skill

thanks again

[Corporal_Radar]

maybe i can see one of you all there... i will be in a cat in the hat hat... adn do not be afraid to as if the person with the hat is Radar... if it is me, i will understand, smile and knod my head, and then great you with a high five, or a hand shake, after you tell me who you are on the boards... i garatee you guys, that i am not a rapist!!!! ewwwwwww......

[phamton]

I understand the feeling PHAMTON :smooth:

I'm still waiting for the opportunity to meet the great MIB999999. You were my mentor even though we have never met face-to-face. You are the person I have to thank for this "magnificent obsession." Hopefully, someday we will meet in real life.

Bev

[Universal FReak]

yeah i feel the same way u feel bev
u were my mentor too but mib999999's help and guide was what started me on my quest for maxing out:teeth:

I was rereading this thread and first i am amazed how many people have looked at this thread. I was on MIB within the first week of opening when the air conditioning would freeze you out of the building, and there were no lines and no single rider. What a different world it is now!!

This thread and eventual handbook was a result of people asking over and over how i was able to score so high. Remember that at the time, scoring so high was hitting in the upper 800's plus, and maybe maxing out, 3 out of 20 runs per day.

I am glad and overwhelmed at the level you guy's now play at. I would love to make a few runs with you guys in the future. It would be a real honor to watch you guys do your thing. :smooth:

The most important thing is to make sure the ride remains fun for you no matter what you score cause it is a great ride in and of itself. :smooth:

posted by MIB999999

[MIB999999]

Sorry for the possible confusion. the system would not let me log in and since MsDis was already in and she is my lovely wife i just posted as her. well tonight it finally let me in.

as i said with the scores you guy's now get, it is you that now rule the MIB world. Congrat's
:smooth:

[Universal FReak]

thanks mib999999

today i didn't do so well but i did max out 4/6 times
i didn't feel at all bad because my dad increased his score to 508,000
i feel so great for him

i told him everything i know and with some fine tuning he should be able to max out too
i think its great how many people love this ride as much as i do

just a question
any tips on maxing out early so u can get higher than 999,999...like i have gotten 1,312,000 with maxing out then using another gun afterward

thanks again for all of the support:teeth:

[MIB999999]

for me, a real good run means there is no one sittng beside me, i have 700,00 plus by the scan and 999,999 after the drop-down-boys. i then pick-up the gun beside me and hit the exhaust port and every other target left till the BIG BUG.

you have to have a good gun and hit everything you aim at, especially the eyes in the trees. :smooth:

[Universal FReak]

yeah i know what u mean
i have had as much as 801,000 going into the scanner but of course someone is sitting next to me
fortunately he wanted to increase his score so i took his gun and brought him up 400,000 points by the end

yeah tonight i had a gun that didn't register on any sensors, it was messed up(of course) :(

[phamton]

Both my sons have maxed out on 2 guns. They did it by getting all 9's before entering the scanner.

The highest I have ever gotten after maxing out one gun was to get 860,000 on the second gun. I am sure you will all hear a shout heard 'round the world when I max out two guns.

Bev

[Universal FReak]

same here
it seems that we just can't get enough huh
i have tried to max out before the scanner but i have only gotten up to 800,000
any tips on what i could do?????
(also did u guys get a new web address for meninblack.tk?????)

[phamton]

same here

(also did u guys get a new web address for meninblack.tk?????)

Not yet.

[Universal FReak]

ok
i just really want to see the location of those sensors in the blinds on the red side
im having a lot of trouble finding them
which set of blinds are they in the left or forward set????

[phamton]

They are on your right, just next to the alien who says "6 against one." They are the blinds behind the alien who spins in the trash can, right over his head.

[Universal FReak]

oh yeah ok i know what you are talking about its just i have trouble pinpointing one sensor and staying on it
i know u said they are in the bends in the blings but do u mean like the openings where there is a samall piece broken away just wondering

[phamton]

I don't remember anything being broken off, just that the blinds are open a little bit there. Just look right over the head of the spinning alien. There are about 4 or 5 sensors that go horizontal across the entire window. They are the size of a computer chip. You may be able to see the wire that connects each of the chips together.

[Universal FReak]

like the chips on the bar from the drop down guys
im going to check today
they are worth about 15,000 per shot right?????(the sensors in the blinds)

[Universal FReak]

yeah i found them but sadly i had the cricket and im still not good with that
i can get around 700,000-800,000 with it
thanks Bev those sensors are a real help

am i understanding this correctly. 1 person, 1 run, 2 guns, 999,999 on each gun??? :smooth:

[phamton]

am i understanding this correctly. 1 person, 1 run, 2 guns, 999,999 on each gun??? :smooth:

Yes. Both of my sons can get 999,999 on one gun before the scanner and then pick up a second gun and get 999,999 on the second gun. They can both max out 2 guns using only one gun at a time.

The highest I can get on the second gun is 860,000 but I'm trying to max out on 2 guns.

[Universal FReak]

thats cool
i wish i could do that
its just that half the time i dont get a chance to because of the crowds
how old are your sons anyway....they must really know the ride well(i never saw meninblack.tk.....did it have pictures of sensors and stuff like that)

[phamton]

thats cool

One is 16 and the other just turned 18 years old. Yes, we had pictures of the sensors and drew circles around some of the harder to see sensors like on the Big, big bug.

[Universal FReak]

thats cool i can't wait til u guys get a new web address for it
it id going to be cool to see the sensors(if u guys still post them)
how did he get those pictures anyway????????

I could tell you how but then I'd have to kill you. ;)

We're just not ready for a new website yet as my sons wants to put the server on the new computer he is saving up to buy---a new G5 with all the bells and whistles.

[Universal FReak]

ahhhhhhh
ok ok ok
i understand its private....i was thinking about going on the ride and just taking pictures of the certain aliens that u and i hit to max out
i was wondering if u had any tips for doing so or warnings because i know flash pictures aren't supposed to be done
also whenever i go in the baby swap and say single or say i would like to wait for the left or right side, the employees always seem to give me a scowl :mad: and then when i go on again they just act as if they hate me
this same thing happens on the mummy if i go on like 6 times in a row they start to comment on my hat or just me in general.
not everyone there but just like 3 main people that always have the same shift
.sigh. oh well i can deal with it
-going on friday with my brother-50 time on the mummy this friday-:teeth:

[phamton]

Well, today I maxed out one gun and picked up the second gun and got 975,000. So close and yet so far!

I did have a personal best today. I maxed out the first gun at the ambush. Usually I can only max it out right before going into the scanner. So this was the earliest I have maxed out a gun.

[Universal FReak]

woah thats really good
today i got 111,000 in the training but alas there was no other exhaust port...but dont let that make u think i didn't max out...i still did before the bug but not as fast as i usually do

how did u max out before the ambush....it looks like i still need some practice:teeth:

[phamton]

I maxed out in the ambush not before the ambush. So when I left the ambush I had maxed out so I got to use the second gun to hit the green eyes in the bushes before going into the scanner.

Instead of hitting the aliens in the ambush, I turned around and kept hitting the alien in the blinds that open and close that were behind me in the other scene.

[Universal FReak]

i know u maxed out in the ambush i meant to write that but it didn't come out that way
a little while ago my brother who i helped has now gotten to 896,000 he is really excited about doing so well but he still hasn't been able to beat me on the ride
next time he says "i will smoke you and you will never be able to max out again" then there was a weird silence and he punched me
well as of now he still can't quite max out and hopefully next time i can get to a higher score with 2 guns:teeth:

[MIB999999]

Yes. Both of my sons can get 999,999 on one gun before the scanner and then pick up a second gun and get 999,999 on the second gun. They can both max out 2 guns using only one gun at a time.

The highest I can get on the second gun is 860,000 but I'm trying to max out on 2 guns.

This is really the old school being relegated to the "has beens" by the new school. I am in awe of you being able to max out 2 guns on one run. You guys must make the FLASH look like he is moving in slow motion. When we get the opportunity to re-up our passes MsDis and i have to meet you guys there to watch you work your magic.

Congrats, WOW, Way to go. :smooth:

[JulieWent]

This will look silly with all you guys that max out before the ride is over, but I just wanted to say that I score 250,000 first time ever on MIB on our first trip to Universal last week. (Thanks to a few tips from this board.) Wowed my DH and DS who both scored under 100,000. (I've never scored over 50,000 on Buzz over at WDW. I was soooooo proud. Came back and told all my 9th graders what I did. They said it was because of my killer instinct.) :cool1:

GOOD FOR YOU, my first ride thru i scored 121,000. :smooth:

[Universal FReak]

On my first ride ever I was monly 8 and I got around 50,000. Hey I was little. Now I'm 14 and can max out every time:teeth:

[phamton]

My first ride was around 3 years ago and I got 45,000. There is hope for anyone!

[MIB999999]

My first ride was around 3 years ago and I got 45,000. There is hope for anyone!

I have a question. before i posted the handbook i was concerned about people using it to get high scores, then becoming bored with the ride since they max out every time. I have been on MIB over 1,000 times and the ride is still just as much fun even if i do not max out on points.

For all of you that max out as easily as you do, Is the ride still as much fun as the first time thru??? :smooth:

[phamton]

Well, there are 4 people in my family that all max out easily and we all still love the ride. Sometimes, I shoot at totally different things and see how many points they get. I also shoot and determine when certain sensors become active. They aren't on all the time. When someone tells me that a certain aliens (like Frank the dog) gives BIG points, I check it out (he doesn't). Or someone says that there are sensors on the rocket above the screen when Will Smith gives us a warning about the big, big bug, I ride to check it out (it has no sensors). Or people say that the second and third shot on the aliens makes the points you receive go up ( it doesn't), I check it out. Another myth is that you get more points from hitting your own exhaust than from hitting your opponent exhaust (you don't.) I also like to ride and help others increase their scores or secretly reach over and hit the red button for a little kid so he can beat his big brother.

I think making a high score has helped hook me. I have no desire to ride Buzz as I suck at that ride. Most people enjoy doing things they are good at. If you are a good swimmer you like to go swimming. If you can't even float or dog paddle, you usually spend less times at the pools. I never go bowling or golfing because I am not good at it. I love horseback riding because I'm good at it, same with MIB.

[Slacking]

I've maxed out on Buzz and still have no great desire to ride that ride.

[Universal FReak]

To me the ride is still a fun experience. I do have to say though it isn't like ROTM to me where I will constantly go on and really really have fun. I do like MIB and I max out everytime(except when I am vs. Bev), but sometimes it isn't as exciting and I don't really have anything to look forward to. I guess now I'm going to have to mix things up cause shooting the same guys everytime (training top left corner, baby alien windowsil drop down bugs etc) can get really boring. Right now I'm currently excited when riding because of my brother. He is 8 years older than me, but is having trouble maxing out. His highscore is 896,000 after I introduced him to the proper aliens to shoot for the big points. I really have hope for him and when we ride its fun competing with him to see if he will eventually surpass me on the ride:teeth:

[thedisneymom]

My son -Mr. Gamer has been asking if anyone who has accomplished 999,999 such as MIB999999 will be there when we go June 29,30,July 1,2. He would love to ride with you once and observe your technique. This is the guy who made fun of my Dis'ing yet, was caught reading your hints last summer. He is graduating this year from college and looking forward to more time for games. Need I say more! :rotfl:

[phamton]

I'll be glad to meet you there any of those days. I've taught lots of people how to get all 9's. Just PM me with information on times and dates as it gets closer to your trip. I'll also see what I can do to get him a few front of the line passes for MIB.

Bev

[Universal FReak]

Count me in. I would love to go and help him out...even though he is older than me. Bev do you think if I went you could get me some express or would that be too many. Just asking cause I would be happy to be there :teeth:

[thedisneymom]

Ohhhhhhhh thank you all! He is soo excited! I will send you all the details as the vacation approaches with our "real " names , our hotel info etc. this is so great! I will wait outside for you to just to say hi if you don't mind. By the way Universal Freak -it doesn't matter how old you are when you are so generous and kind. we would love to see you too! My daughter is a bit younger than her brother(22), she is 16 and although not much of a gamer can always use ant help she can get destroying her brother. Thanks so much Bev!!!! You made our day! We are staying at PBH so I don't think you need to try to get FOTL passes for us but we appreciate the thought. You can pick the day and time and he will be there with bells on.

[Universal FReak]

Sounds great.
I will get express myself if I can't get a FOTL. I can get a couple express if I get like my brother(22 huh thats funny) to come with me. Anyway I have even taught my 22 year old brother how to max out. It only took him a couple of tries. All I had to do wastell him what to shoot and then have him ride without shooting so he could see what I shoot at what times. Also, today I tried helping my friend who has an AP by not shooting anything and explaining to him what to hit and when to stop shooting something. I can't wait to help. :teeth:

MIB999999 and MsDis will not be able to go those days but it seems that you have the current "best of the best" attending. I remember all the meets we have had in the past and it was always a great time.

Good luck in the quest for the "999999's" :smooth:

[thedisneymom]

Sorry you can't make it. My son is so thrilled to have the opportunity.

Hi Phamton and Universal Freak!
How does July 1st at 11 AM in front by the expess line MIB sound to you?

[phamton]

Hi Phamton and Universal Freak!
How does July 1st at 11 AM in front by the expess line MIB sound to you?

Sounds good to me. Just send me a reminder a couple of days before hand as my memory isn't the greatest.

[thedisneymom]

Yours!! I keep saying that I better write down what time/day that I posted! LOL
Sounds like a plan. :flower:

[Universal FReak]

I will be there I think, but I will be there with my older brother who can't max out. We will go on, but I can not be certain that I can stay for long. I didn't realize that this would be the week he is down. I will still try to help though. Also, Bev have you noticed lately that the firehydraunt guy isn't working lately. His sensors are turned off or something and he wont rise up anymore. I noticed this when my score fell down just a little. Anyway I hope you guys have a nice trip and maybe I'll see you there.

[Slacking]

I noticed yesterday that the hydrant wasn't working.

I would meet up with you and help your son max out, but I'll be out of state during those days.

[phamton]

Hydrant wasn't working today either but that was the least of their problems. The ride was down a lot today----more often than I can ever remember.

[Universal FReak]

I hope everything works out well. It would be nice if MIB got a major refurbishment to restore some of the sensors and ride effects. But if theydon't fix the hydraunt I guess it will be OK. I still max out without it, but I am gonna miss that alien. He always looks so freaky and tall after you shoot him twice. Oh well. Hope you guys had fun today dispite the break downs.

[thedisneymom]

Hi everyone!
Universal Freak-Hope you can make it
Slacking- Sorry we'll miss you!

[Universal FReak]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO ONE READ THIS POST!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU DO YOU WILL REALIZE HOW I CAN BE AN IDIOT SOMETIMES WHILE READING DATES

I'm sorry I wasn't there. I planned on it, but my brother is kinda lazy over the summer. I dont think he really even got up unitl 12 o'clock. I hope you guys had fun anyway. Maybe I could help out next time. You have to post a trip report or at least a ride experience report and how well your son did. I would like to know if he maxed out. I know that his score had to be good though. Phamton is a really good teacher. She was the one who told me how to max out and now I do everytime......except when I am againt her :rot

They aren't there yet. We're meeting them on July 1st.

[Universal FReak]

Oh hahahahaha
OMG I'm an idiot
WOW!!!! Im leaving that post there for an example of my stupidity. Everyone laugh at me yes I can take it.

Ok back to the subject. roed today. Another bad break down today. I think it was for about 15 minutes. We were in a horrible spot. Right out of the scanner and strobes were flashing in my face every second. I actually took off my hat to cover my eyes. I still maxed out though :teeth: and gon't think I cheated. Actually I couldn't. Our guns were still off. Anyway sorry for my great idiotic post. I hope to see you guys there. Right now I'm trying to deveop a different strategy just incase I start to fight someone for the sensors.

[Universal FReak]

I would like to post that the Fire Hydraunt Alien is back up. My computer crashed so I would have posted about a week ago. Anyway I am doing much better and I max out even earlier. I think my best run THIS WEEK was going into the scanner with 896,000. I did ride with some people from the UK. They claimed that they could max out, but none of them broke 600,000. It made one of them really angry when I beat his score with an empty gun even after maxing out. He was cursing me out saying "stupid american knows where all the sensors are" and a few more things. I didn't really take it personally. I know he was trying to prove to me that he could max out(he never did). After riding a few more times I helped them increase their scores by about 200,000. It was a very good and fun week!

[thedisneymom]

Hi Bev,
We'll see you July 1 at 11 AM by Mib express. :sunny:

Hi Bev,
We'll see you July 1 at 11 AM by Mib express. :sunny:

I just sent you an email--- a little change of plans---still planning on meeting you but at a later time on Friday.

Bev

[Motherfletcher]

Do you get to ride MIB these days, Bev?

[phamton]

Not near as often, maybe once a week for an hour.

[thedisneymom]

Trust me she doesn't need to bat an eye to get all 9's, Mr Playstation2 is still talking about her skill.

[MOQu]

Hi-- Im am on my mom's username but i was watching "Backstage At Universal Orlando" on The Travel Channel and they said to aim for thing far away. They said this since the infared light cones to you have better chances of hitting somting!~ Also, never let go of the trigger, if you hit the ceiling 10 times, you get 1,050 points!

Leaving on 8/18 for HRH :rolleyes1

Actually a friend of mine (Chris aka Rocketman) was on the demonstration of the MIB part in "Back Stage at Universal."

As far as hitting the ceiling, that is a myth. Holding the trigger down all the time helps because for every 10th shot you get an automatic 250 points even though you haven't hit anything.

I forgot to mention--just a heads up for those of us who always max out. I got it from someone on good authority that they are going to be changing some of the points on the higher scoring aliens. Some previous low scoring aliens will soon be high scoring and vice versa. It hasn't happened yet but is coming soon. They felt it would give those of us in the 999,999 club a challenge without effecting the newbie to the ride. They wouldn't know the difference anyway. I'll try to let you know when it is changed.

Hope no one minds but there have been numerous requests on the pm and on the boards for tips. This will not be the difinitive final word on how to max-out on the points since i think only the designer knows that.
Since i hit the 999,999 4 out of every 15 times i ride i will share all that i know and have learned. (I can see the free Mythos meals by hustling people going down the drain.)

First i divide the game into five areas with scoring ranges for each.
AREA 1) THE TRAINING AREA: 40,000 TO 61,000
AREA 2) THE CRASH SITE AND TOWN AREA: 214,000 TO 342,000
AREA 3) THE AMBUSH: 414,000 TO 614,000
AREA 4) THE RUN FOR THE BUG: 800,000 TO 999,999
AREA 5) EATEN BY THE BUG: 999,999 TO 1,137,000

Basic guidelines:
1) always hold the trigger on the gun. even if you aim at the ceiling every ten NOISES that the gun makes is worth 1,050 points. SO NEVER LET GO OF THE TRIGGER.

2) With very few exceptions that i will note in the upcoming threads AIM FOR THE EYES or BETWEEN THE EYES. the do-right and dufus tape shows you can shoot the shoulder or neck area. You can if you want to stay the low score in the car.

3) free tip: the best cars to max out on the score are LEFT SIDE ROWS ONE AND TWO and RIGHT SIDE ROWS THREE AND FOUR. Now before you all try to get in only those cars, i have hit the 999,999 from all four cars in both front and back rows. i just find it easier to hit the 1,137,000 from these two cars.

I will stop here for now and see there are any objections to this plan by the moderators, or any specific questions. I will if allowed post a new thread every week or so. dealing with the stratagy for right and left car in each area.

well MsDisney you asked for it
:D
Are you seriously this sad ? LMAO

If this thread doesn't interest you, may I suggest that you just skip over it. There really is no need for condescending remarks.

[thedisneymom]

I agree! This site was exceptionally helpful to my son who is a gamer. Also, many kind people offer to help those and meet those who ARE interested in this.
No unkind remarks are necessary-just skip to what you are interested in.

[metsfan11]

I also agree. As i always say: if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything! now for my high score story. the first time i went to usf, i got somewhere in the ten thousands. i just came back in late august and i got 145,400!!!!! thank you mib! you rock! i got the high score in my car! it was so much fun!

[Motherfletcher]

There was some discussion about reassigning the point values on specific targets. Has that happened yet?

[Motherfletcher]

I'll go there Monday and let ya'll know if they changed the target values! :cool1:

[steve_rob]

I have two things to say:

1) Thank you SOOOOOO much for these guides! I'm nowhere near 999,999, but you've improved my scores from an average of 100K on my first trip to USO in 2001 to over 450K when I was there in 2003 which makes me consistently the top scorer in my family (and that's what counts!). Maybe this year if I study the guide hard enough on the plane, I might crack 600K on my upcoming holiday...

2) One day I'm going to have to ride with one of you million point plus guys. Despite having ridden MIB now about 20 times, I have NEVER EVER seen the "winning" ending. Even the times I've got over 500,000, I was always in a car with five people who all barely got out of single figures and the low average score for our car meant we usually ended up being "Cosmically Average" (and once or twice "Bug Bait"!). If I could only ride with a great player then maybe their perfect score plus my reasonably good one might be enough to offset the rest of the riders so I can get the suit!

Next time you go, just send me an email or private message, and I'll meet you there.

MIB999999 is BACK.

i have an annual pass again and i am not afraid to use it. depending on the weather this coming weekend i will be getting aquainted once again with the MIB ride at studios either saturday or sunday.

if any of you new hot guns are going to be there and want to help out an old-timer let me know.

i really got to see you guys max out two guns in one ride thru. i will just sit there so you have access to my gun just so i can watch you keep the galactic scum at bay :smooth:

[MIB999999]

Are you seriously this sad ? LMAO

Why yes i am!!! :smooth:
