We were there yesterday... I was pleased with my score on Buzz of 114,000+ (especially since I beat my son who is very competitive on this ride) Upon exiting we see the #1 person for the day has just under 3,000,000 points. How in the world could someone score that many points on the same ride I was just on? I know they change the high score boards daily so this had to be the same day right?! What is the secret? I know aim for the light targets. Hit the targets, keep firing your laser.... Is there one area that is worth that much more than others...

Help a mom score more than her son again...... :rotfl:
 
Targets differ in value. The triangles are worth the most, followed by diamonds, squares and circles. There is also a super special location on Zurg, below the letter Z on his costume. It is a small black circle, and if you hit there, you get a whole bunch of points. I've gotten over 1,000,000 before by aiming for those dots, and by going after triangles and diamonds. Plus, if you ever happen to get on the ride during a stop for loading and unloading, you can continue firing your gun and get a lot of points that way. Just hope you're stopped in front of a triangle. It is true that lit targets are worth more, but I just tend to aim for the targets worth the most all of the time.
 
It also varies by carts. Some carts wont let you go over 1 mill. THere was a time where i came out of the first room with 999,999. check scores, it was at 1 Million. I can have sweared i got more than that. :|
 

I was impressed with my score until I saw my cousin-in-laws score.

He said there was a Z on the ceiling that gave him many points. As many of you know the blasters in DL are on a cord and not affixed to the ride like at WDW.
 
I had the ride stop on me last year, and was able to rack up 300,000+ plus points sitting in one spot:woohoo:

The Zurg in the middle of the ride, or the last room?
 
I can confirm the order of point values are as follows:

  • Triangles
  • Diamonds
  • Squares
  • Circles

When a target is lit it is worth double the points.

There are secret targets on both Zurg's and one of the mouths of the aliens in the final room.

Hitting certain targets in a certain order gives bonus points (For example hit the targets of all of the batteries that fall down and the triangle hidden behind it to recieve additional points).

If someone is paired with you online they can help you earn bonus points (you will not know if this has happened unless you look at your picture after the ride, I forget what it says if this is the case).

Moving targets generally score more points than thier stationary counterparts.

Please note that at some point in time, all of the above information was told to you while waiting for the ride to start, ome of it is no longer mentioned, but it still applies. Much of the information was given during the soft openings (I got to ride it the first night it was open to the public)

There are four black diamonds in the tunnel, by hitting all four (in any order) you get a lot of bonus points, in the final room with the full sized Zurg, if you turn around there are green men with a circle target, if you hit it, a trianlge target will pop up that you can hit numerous times before it goes down and can usually pop it up 3-4 times before being too far away and as it is really close to your vehicle it is very easy to hit.

Now, while I know all of this, I can't seem to get my score over 300,000, as I am not that good of an AIM. One other thing is, even if you can't hit anything, keep firing, after about every 5 tmes of firing you automatically get 100 points or so.

And yes, unlike at WDW if te ride stops you can continue shooting, so start shooting (even at blank space) once the gun is turned on and don't stop shooting until it is turned off.
