MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[Christysuelouise]

Christy what is your high score?I think only a few people you work with can max

LOL. My high score is pathetic. It's sad really. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, especially here. So far, I've only managed to get 475,750. Alot of the guys have been making fun of me for it and they won't tell me anything helpful because I'm a rookie. It's like hazing, I swear. LOL... that's why I found your message board in the first place, I'm trying to get better. in my defense though, I've only been working there for 3 days and I haven't been able to ride again since I found your tips so maybe I will get better now, I'm going to the park as a guest tomorrow so I will get to play then.
Most of the attendants are pretty good. Almost all of the guys can max out pretty consistently. The girls tend to score a little lower, maybe they just don't play as many video games at home I don't know. Several of the guys are fairly amazing with 2 guns and a couple of them are rumored to have maxed 2 guns at the same time, but I'll believe that one when I see it. That may be like telling high school freshmen that the pool is on the roof.

I promise... no emoticons this time, since I had so much fun with them on the last one. I just forgot to mention that the pictures were working on Saturday when I was there. They do seem to be fairly sporadic with getting the scores on there though. Some of the cars might be having problems with their modems transmitting the scores properly.

I thought 475,000 was pretty good sometimes I ride all day and don't see anyone else that high with just a little practice you'd be up to 700-800,000 with no problem.

My little sister came to town to visit me so I took her to the parks today. We only rode MIB twice though because she wanted to do a bunch of other stuff. I had to spend more time explaining stuff to her what to do than actually playing, so I still didn't improve my score. I did improve hers by 125,000 though. LOL. I work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday this week though, so maybe I will get to go in early and play a couple times. One can only hope I did check the scores on the pictures though, and they were right both times.

How often does anyone see more than 500,000?When I do I know its someone from this board.I've lost to the other car only once this year(I was in shock)I could tell it was going to be close as they were aiming at most things I was shooting at.

 

[Christysuelouise]

Actually, you're right DrJ. It seems like the only people I've seen score even that high are the people who work there, and that one guy I was "helping". Most commonly, people seem to get between 50,000 and 80,000. The ones who score around 150,000 or so seem to think they've really saved the universe. Hmmm... Maybe I'm not SO bad after all.

I can always tell if someone has read the handbook,right at the first target. It was funny the first time we rode with MIB999999 as soon as it appeared all 4 of us turned and shot at the same time,same thing with MIB4me and his wife.I always tell people when they ask how I learned all this but I've never seen anyone I've told on this board.

 

[bubba's mom]

My DBIL usually gets 400,000-600,000 each time and doesn't know the handbook exists! Once, we were riding with him and he got his high score of 800,000+ He was a braggin....

 

[drj1950]

When I first started riding I was getting somewhere around 200,000 as soon as I found the handbook I jumped to around 500,000 -600,000 in a couple of rides.It took a few more days of practice to max.Trial and error I'm sure would of taken much longer.

ok, so now i have to use my alternate training area pattern so you will not recognize me

I have said it before, what i want to do is walk thru the ride with all the lights up to see where all the sensors are. You can shoot for the eyes and shoulders all you want it is the sensors that do the scoring

 

[drj1950]

we too would like to walk through with all the lights on.I'd like to see what I'm missing,if you hadn't shown my a few things i.e. the sensors in the six against one I would of never looked there.I'm still looking for stuff I know you shot at last time.

 

[drj1950]

Sometimes when people ask I explain about the sensors and they look at me like I'm crazy

 

[Christysuelouise]

If anybody comes by today or tomorrow come and see me... I'm working all day. I look like this guy ---->

I met DrJ this weekend so now I have a face to put with at least one of the names on here. Oh, and a couple of people told me "some old guy was asking for you" so I'm guessing it was also someone from here (although it may have just been someone I talked to in the parks.) I was also told yesterday that I am "The happiest person in Universal Orlando" LOL. Must've looked like I was having a good day!
And guess what? I finally got to ride again and my high score went up about 50,000 points. YAY! Now, I just have to figure out how to make myself remember all yall's tips when I got on the ride.

 

[Christysuelouise]

I remembered a few tips. I'm up to 611,000 now. YAY!

the "old guy" must have been me. I saw Jim (another old guy) and asked where you were working at and he said he was not sure. It is interseting that the younglings still can not outscore the "old guy"

 

[Christysuelouise]

I want to take a day sometime like some of you "regulars" do and just ride MIB several times to see if i can get any better. I can't ride in uniform and when I go to the park as a guest it's usually because i have friends or family visiting but then they actually want to ride the rides and stuff, so I don't get to re-ride MIB much. Eventually maybe.

My DD asked me to convey her thanks for the tips.

We usually get around 200,000 - 250,000. We're here now, and I told her about the info on the Dis, so she looked through it. Yesterday, she got 786,000+. One of her trips she had 702,000+, but the bonus didn't kick in (made her sick since 802,000+ would have been her high score ).

Thanks for the help!

P.S. I was in meetings yesterday, and she was riding in the single rider line. She got put on one car with a family of 3 (mom, boy about 14 or 15, and a boy about 10). She said that the teenager started griping to his mom that he didn't want "her" (meaning my DD) on their ride, because she was going to lower their score. After the ride was over, his little brother kept trying to make his older brother look at DD's score. Finally, the teen just told his little brother to shut up. I told DD that I would have had to have looked at the teenager and told him that I hoped I didn't lower his score too much (his was about 125,000).


ETA: Her best score wound up being 960,000. She really wanted to max it out but was very happy with her high score and said to thank you again for the help. It really worked!

 

[goofy!]

Thanks for the tips!

Our car has been averaging about 400,000 - 500,000 even with our daughter's (who has Down syndrome) score. Although she does seem to always get the bonus so boosts her up into the mid 100,000's.

We had a young kid, about 10, who was riding single rider with a few others his age, ride with us. He was so excited that our car won. You should have seen him bragging to his friends who just happened to be on the other side of the track opposite us that we got the suit and he was "galaxy defender" for the first time.

I have to say, our highest scorer is our DS17 who usually gets in the upper 800,000's and has never read the handbook. He seems to be stuck and really wants to max out this trip. Hopefully he will! Nobody else in the car has read the handbook either, so it can be done

Myself, I am eternally grateful for the handbook. I have vastly improved my score. So thanks!

I was there yesterday and its much easier to show people than to try to talk them through it.With some practice a max out can be done in a short time.MIB999999 I heard you had some people you knew in your car on Sunday,they were not happy with some of the bad guns.
