Any tips for getting the Elvis song on GOTG?

[Gretchen1973]

We have ridden it probably 15 times and that is the only song we haven't gotten! TIA!

I have got the same song every time too, but Born to be Wild. Im not sure I believe the amount of variety in the rides as people claim. It is also the same weird alien octopus scene every time.
Still fun, just not a variety like ST that people claim.

We rode this ride about a dozen times during our early March trip and the only two we didn't get were Born to Be Wild and Burning Love - mind you it's easy to get the same Star Tours multiple times as well.

I've had 3 different songs. It really seems to be random, so just keep riding.

We've had Elvis the last three times (most recently on Sunday). "Free Ride" is the one I've only gotten once, ever.

 

[MATTERHORN]

I've had 4 songs, but I get Hit Me With Your Best Shot a lot!

It's totally random. I did the premiere party, rode it 10 times in one night and got 5/6 songs. It took me several more months and about 10 more rides to finally get the last one (Burning Love). Since then, I've gotten it more times than others! I spoke to a CM working the ride once and she'd done it 30 times and still was missing 2 songs. So yeah, no advice other than keep riding!

Keep riding. Lately the one we haven't been getting that I like is "Give up the Funk".... It took me about 20 rides to get them all (last one was Free Ride.)

There are no tips or tricks to get all the versions of the ride other than to keep riding.

It took me 8 rides to get all 6 profiles. Since then, I've gotten all 6 profiles of the ride multiple times.

We first rode Guardians in early June and have ridden many, many times since then but had only gotten 4 of the songs. We finally got I Want You Back in mid-March. Then we got Hit Me With Your Best Shot the following weekend. Just keep riding!

I have to say the fact you don't know when you start the ride what song you are going to get is fun - unlike the incredibly boring same exact script for Tower of Terror - we were all so excited about the much needed facelift!!

 

[Jedi Mouse]

Yep, just have to keep riding. It took us about 15 rides to get all 6. Free Ride is my favorite because of the timing of the drops with Groot hitting the big red button.

Yeah, that is part of the fun! I know on that premiere party, on the last ride we realized for every song there was at least one person in the gantry hoping to get it, so it was an internal competition to see who would win! Even the CM said which ones she was missing. I think it ended up being Jackson 5 with a huge cheer from those people. It was also one of the CM's missing songs, so she was so jealous!

I agree! I like the "weightless" version best!

Do you think the different gantry shafts make a difference in which one is player?
1-2-3 lower level and upper level. Since I can't do stairs, I don't know how many are up there.

There are 2 levels each with 3 gantry entrances. But no, that has no influence at all.

No, I've done the same level/shaft twice, different versions.

I’ve been on the ride atleast 25 times and have never had Hit me with your best shot. Now it’s like a challenge to get it.

 

[ashley0139]

Burnin Love is the only one I haven't gotten as well. I've been on it 12 times. I have a count in my phone, and the one I've gotten most is Hit Me with Your Best Shot.

 

[JenJenW]

The only one I haven’t done is the Jackson 5 one. It’s a great ride no matter which song you get. Can’t wait to go back.

 

[Winnowill]

Our first four tries were all different, so we were like, "Yeah, getting all of them will be easy!" Well, we've ridden six more time since then, and are still missing the Jackson 5 one.
