Is MIB like Buzz Lightyear?

[Amity 3]

wow, that is something i didn't know.
you can hit your own car for the bonus points.

thanks, i will be doing that on my next trip

just open up the answer keys for the students in your class to CHEAT while you're at it.

okay....i'm gettin' a real bad vibe that shooting your own port is "frowned upon".....why so much frownin'.....is it THAT bad??? Exactly how many "cheatin" points we talkin' here?

 

[macraven]

Grrrrr...

To quote phamton from another thread: shooting your own exhaust port is like cheating at solitare.

It is the type of thing a Company like ENRON would do!!!

ok, i'll play nice.

hopefully i will have a lot of pre teens in my car to help us win .....










i blame doom for leading me down the path of the cheaters, i mean winners.........

From the picture on the Universal site, it looks like MIB is like the Buzz ride at the MK. However, it has a height restriction of 42". So, I'm curious if it's scary or what the deal is (why does it have a height restriction). My 4yo is tall enough, but he's not the bravest kid on the block. He loves Buzz, but he's not into coasters or anything like that.

Thanks for the info.

There's also more "dark" parts and fog too if I recall correctly. Our ds6 loves it now that he tried it. He was too afraid to try it even when he was tall enough.

You get the same number of points as when you shoot the opposing cars exhaust (10,000). If you shoot your own exhaust, you cause your car to spin and it makes it hard for anyone else in your car to hit anything because they are spinning so much.

I am. Or rather I was when I posted. I'm good at multi-tasking.

Only if you do it early,when you're facing off with the other car does shooting your own port make your own car spin,if you wait a bit when you're further away then you can shoot yourself without spinning.That's what I do, I don't start shooting my own car if it's going to make us spin and not get points!!

If you're good enough, you don't need to shoot your own exhaust. Just work on perfecting shooting the other car's exhaust. It's just as easy and much more satisfying. The other car is the enemy not your car. You don't shoot yourself in the foot in a gun battle or shoot your own car in a fight with the aliens. You want to disable their car not your own.

i'm adding that suggestion to my list of notes......

How do you know?? Maybe my aim IS really that bad

 

[macraven]

do we really get points if we shoot ourselves in the foot???


add that note to list.....

 

[tarheelmjfan]

and the guns aren't "attached" to the car....you have free range of motion

and the guns actually work.... Buzz Lightyear's guns..... not so much.

I didn't know you could shoot your own car, but I'm surprised to see some people so upset over the idea. I guess I'm just not competitive enough when it comes to theme park rides. I thought it was all about having fun. Then again, I'm not that into the ride to ride 20 times in a row or perfect my aim. Oddly enough, I often win. I'm just really coordinated or really lucky. I never can hit that dumb circle though. I do have to say I think constantly spinning a car full of family members sounds like a whole lot more fun than beating the other car to me.

It's just one of my pet-peeves. We all have some--mine just happens to relate to MIB.

I thought it was all about having fun.

I get motion sickness and I've been in too many cars when there are people in my car that shoot our exhaust and keep me spinning the whole time. It's impossible to shoot the other car when I'm spinning. It seems fair enough if the people in the opposite car are good enough to keep us spinning. Then I deserve to be spun around.

Then again, I'm not that into the ride to ride 20 times in a row or perfect my aim.

I'm obsessive like that. But looks like I'm in good company as many of us do like riding over and over. Some people play golf or tennis all day or go bowling for hours. I enjoy MIB. (Although I haven't been able to ride in a couple of months---been too busy.)

I have shot my own exhaust port when I am totally alone in the car AND there is no opposing car AND there is nothing left for me to do (before I push the red button).

 

[macraven]

i need an expert to ride in the car with me this october.

who's game?

I'd be no help, I'm forever stuck in the 600,000's.

I'm forever stuck in the 300,000's.....yes I have read the MIB tips thread, a few times...I'm still bad...(and yes I know to hit the red button)

when is this?? how do you end up THAT alone???

THAT's what I'm gettin' at
