MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[vacation dreamer]

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.)



Is this ride something like Buzz at WDW? Thanks for the scoring tips!

There are post's to this thread that mention BUZZ but i have never been on BUZZ myself. I have heard it said that it is BUZZ on steroids and far more cool

Only mildly similar but the same premise. I think MIB is easier and more fun. We like to hit MIB first thing in the morning when you can ride over and over again. When the lines start to form, we are done. MIB is my favorite of all the rides at US.

Just back and we really loved having the MIB tips. Thank you!!! We are not in the 999,999 range but I had a high of 583K and my husband hit 576K. Even my 7 year old got 253K. We rode about 25-30 times over the course of the trip and found that the hints made much more sense after we were familiar with the course!

Glad the tips were of help. There is a lot to shoot at it really helps to go thru the ride first to get a feel for it and then read the tips and try to incorporate them into your shooting. It is a very BUSY game and that is what makes it just as fun for me to go thru the ride and not shhot at all and just take it all in for the sheer fun of the ride itself.

The times square thing is one i have not heard about and if that was the prize i would have stopped playing the game a long time ago.

You always get neuralized unless there is a mal-function. After all the pre-show is a theme park ride and you are neuralized so you are right back to believeing you were on a theme park ride that you can remember nothing about.

thanks!!!! i had assumed bc that did seem to take away the magic of the ride, and i'm very sorry that i forgot to say how much your guide helped me. i actually printed it out, color-coded it for each area, and read it in the hotel room and in line..... i must gladly admit that thanks to you i raised my score around 400,000 points each time i rode!!! alas, i'm still only around 600,000 total, but that's a huge leap from sometimes not even getting over 200,000!!!! oh, and your best advice in my opinion: always aim for the fusion exhaust port at the end. aiming at the fusion exhaust port at that area of the ride sometimes allowed me to double my score (if that doesn't make since, i'm saying that if i had 200,000 points before that area, i could easily come out with 400,000, although i usually had higher scores than that). THANKS AGAIN!!!

600,000 wow! When I went with my family for the first time to Universal and rode that ride they got under 10,000 and I got like 55,550 (I remember because all the 5's lol) and I thought I had the best score that ride has ever seen lol until I saw everyone else's scores. How do you do it, its so difficult lol!

Iimproved my score in one day from a average of about 225,000 to about 750,000 when I left but it seems I reached a leveling off at that point.My high for the training section is only 55,000 a average of about 20,000 any way I might improve?

Sorry to take so long to say You're Welcome!

As far as the training area goes, on the left side I keep on the target swinging back and forth over my left shoulder. If you aim just above his eyes and hit him on both ends of his swing, you get a bunch of points. Same target from the right side gets even more points. Usually about 100k on left and 200k on right.

We'll be there this weekend in case you're in the area.

 

[MIB999999]

just got back from a couple of days trying to improve my MIB score,this is the first trip I really spent many hours looking at the whole ride and using everything I've read here.
First off I would like to thank MIB4ME for riding wth me and pointing out things I was not sure about.

At the point of the drop down bugs am I better off trying for the blue box or the posters on the wall or trying to hit both?I have been just doing posters for around 300,00 points.
Again thanks MiB4ME and your wife for letting me pick your brain,hope to hear from some of you,don't know when I'll be abole toget backtoride buti know i'll be looking toimprove again!l

Those of us that have hit the 999,999 area know all about the 700,000 to 800,000 point plateau. It is the point at which you need to be come relaxed with the game and have fun doing everything you have been practicing up to this time. It is the point at which you have to NOT panic when you miss a target and get comfortable and relax, and with a smile execute all you been practicing up to now.

Hi, drj1950 & all 9's!

Just got back from 2 MIB filled days and I am hanging my head in shame! My high score for this trip was just over 900K.
On the other hand, my wife finally did it. She maxed out once, and outscored me at least half the time.
I should have known better than to brag on the training section scores, as my high on the left side was 84K and 109K on the right.
I blame it all on my lack of concentration and anything else I can think of. I really think my problem is right after the scan, as I am so into trying for the little blue targets that I quit shooting the eyes or the exhaust ports.
If I could just ride a few more times with an expert like All 9's, I might improve.

 

[MIB999999]

What "little blue target's" are you refering to???
After the scan it is a matter of a steady hand and staying on the target, no matter what.

 

[MIB4ME]

As you come out of the scan, on the left side, the second alien shooting at you from the ceiling has a line of small blue triangles along the right side top of his access hole. They are on the right side and facing you as you approach.

I have so busy trying to hit them, that nothing else matters! The funny thing is... I don't know if they even add to your score or how much if they do!

No one ever told me I had to be smart to have fun on MIB!

 

[phamton]

I think he is referring to the drop-down bugs.

If you are in the left hand lane, after the scan there are (2) Drop-Down-Boys and the sensor to shoot is behind and to the right side of the alien. It is a little grey cube and that is where you need your beam from your gun to hit. I have never seen the "small blue triangles" you are refering to but i sure will look next time thru.

in the right hand lane the sensor is in the same place, behind and to the right of the alien.

Actually the sensors are all along that bar. There are 3 on each side of the drop down bugs for a total of 6 sensors for each bug.

 

[MIB999999]

Phamton is correct. I mentioned only the one cause it is the most visible with the lighting in the area and is the easiest to see from the car.

 

[drj1950]

Just got back from a couple of days at US and my 16 year old daughter maxed out this time,I'm averaging over 850,000 now came very close to the max 992,750 with many scores above 910,000.Not to forfet my wife who is over 800,000 now,thanks for all your help

 

[drj1950]

Just a couple of Questions:having trouble with the drop down bugs, is the sensor the small chrome squares with a smaller square in the center?Do the sensors work on the Big bug at the end?Going in 2 weeks and a three day trip on March 9 hope to see anyone there for a ride

Yes.

Do the sensors work on the Big bug at the end?

No they do not work anymore.
