MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[MIB999999]

Dr. J 1950, now that you are maxing out without the "red button", in case you get bored, the next thing is to max out TWO guns in one run. I am still working on that one and it is proving very elusive.

We will have to meet up again sometime. It was great to meet you and your family.

 

[drj1950]

It was great to finally meet you also.My family and I almost never ride in the same car(shooting at all the same targets)so I rarely see anyone else max out.I was paying close attention(I think that was why I played so bad)The next ride after you left I applied what I learned and maxed out at the scan(something I do rarely).I than went over what I did with the family and learned they had been doing many of the things you were doing right along, so we rode together a little bit and I found out how fast they were.On the green side i was maxing about 60-70% but I maxed almost 100% the rest of the day,I rode the red side the next day and maxed about 40% thanks to you and my family.Hopefully with a little more practice I can get on the level with you and Phantom,my daughter may be there now.Thanks again

So now we have to fill a car and see if we can all get 999,999

You know we tried that before and only succeeded with 3 people getting it.

 

[drj1950]

I'm curious how were the other scores?Were any who maxed out in the 2 center seats?

The way the ride is operating on the left hand lane i believe we would have a chance this time. I think we should start with 4 sitting on the corners and see what happens. it would have to be early in the morning so there are not so many "dots" out there.

Last time we did it you and Rocketman were maxing out consistently. As i remember i was the low score that time thru. Except for the rare occassion i max out each time thru and the left lane seems to be very generous right now.

 

[rangebob]

I'd have to get some passes first and then do some practicing. I'd be amazed if I even get close.

Anybody going to be at MIB this Saturday morning? (The 16th) I am a newbie to the MIB ride and I have set out for all 9's. Any help available would be appreciated.

Btw, where are you supposed to hit ol' four eye stalks? In the individual eyes or the head they are connected to? I couldn't seem to hit him when I was there last...

I was there in the very late morning and early afternoon.
to hit ol' four eye stalks, if you look real close you can see the discoloration where the sensor is. to find it look dead center between the front pair of eyes and then move down about 2 inches towards the nose and you will see the slightly discolored round area about the size of a quarter.

Yeah I did notice that when I was there last weekend, thanks.

I rode 6 times and got up to about 730k or so, but I never seemed to know what to do in the crash site area. It was insanity, and I couldn't get a handle on a pattern of targets. Four eyes was tough to hit, and so was the fire hydrant alien. I don't think I ever hit him more than twice. After that, all bets are off except for the glass breaking alien. That is really the only target I could consistently get. During the fast pace of the ride, I just had trouble indentifying the targets I had studied. Any tips for me or is it just practice at this point?

One more question: What technique do you use for aiming the gun? i.e. what sightline do you use, or do you just aim by looking at the red dot?

 

[MIB999999]

The sensor for the fire hydrant is on the aliens chest area just below his chin. it use to be a "repeater" but as of late it is a one hit and move on. On the left side of the ride up on the second story there is an alien in the last window to the right. the sensors on this one are not on the alien. the sensors are on the bottom boards of the window. if you look you will see one to the left of the alien and one to the right. Everyone has seen these two round areas about the size of a golf ball without realizing that those are the sensors. Hit these sensors cause they are "repeaters" till he starts to drop down behind the window, then switch back to the right side of the track and hit the glass breaking alien in the second story window. On a really good day you should be able to hear the glass breaking 6 times. on a good day only 5.

 

[drj1950]

I was waiting for MIB999999 to explain the window sill(he explains things much better than I)I think this is the most important part to max out,even though I was maxing out before MIB999999 showed this to me its made things much easier.

 

[papa-paulino]

Thanks for the help guys. How many points can I expect to get in the crash site?

Do you guys aim using a line of sight with the gun or do you just adjust your aim by seeing where your laser dot is?

 

[drj1950]

On aiming the gun I do both,as I go into the training area I first line up my gun visually then look for my laser dot(Most guns are different in how they sight though and the dot is not the absolute focal point for scoring)On the green side I leave the training area with around 60-70000,my average going into the six against one is about 450,000.

Dr J is correct. i line my gun up based on where the dot is at on the first target in the training area. it helps if you can shoot, aim, watch for your gun lighting up and making noise all at the same time. This skill is essential when there are twelve guns all going for the same target. On a crowded day i will go for an obscure target in the training area to adjust to the aim of the gun. It is a real treat to have a gun that neither lights up or makes any noise at all when you hit a target.

I use to max out in the old days with only 27,000 coming out of training and 290,000 going into the ambush so it is possible

We will be at US 7/4-7/12... My self and youngest son vs. husband and oldest son ( self proclaimed vidoe expert) Need some quick tips for some big points. Ice cream and breakfast delivery is riding on this and we have been running our mouths plenty. HELP!!!!

 

[MIB999999]

I realize this thread is 26 pages long but all you need to know is in the handbook section that is the very beginning of this thread. the handbook will help a lot if you have a very good memory and have ridden the ride before. The high value targets are mostly on the second story but it will help if you recognize where they are before you get to them.
