MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[noice]

Nice TiggerGuy, using your MIB skills to pick up the ladies.

I think on the right side track (going by when you first sit down), you can get shots on the back of the fire hydrant guy to register. Also the best target after the crash is the big alien that waves his gun around. If I'm on the right side track I can usually get to 600k to 800k going into the ambush. Unfortunately there are little points to be found in this ambush area.

Anyways, I will be there Sunday, anyone else plan on going?

MIB999999 and MsDis might be there Sunday 5/24. We usually get there in the early morning and ride for a bit. I can ride all day must MsDis is good for only 5 times thru max. I may wear my red Spiderman shirt since i have not done so in a while. Just look for an old fart about 6' 4".

Have to work this Sunday trying to get there on a Sunday in the summer

Was there earlier, but didn't stay long. Single riders line was closed, so I went through baby swap a few times. I came back later, and it was still closed, and the wait for the ride was 45 minutes, so I left.

If it is a long line I just leave also thats why I want to be the first one in the paek so I can ride for at least a hour or two with no wait at all

I was there when the park opened and the lines started to form about 9:45am

Hi, I have just returned to Scotland after three weeks in Kissimmee. Spent two days at Universal - MIB 7 times in total. Highest score 843000. Got a tip from the guy at the Magic Show - haven't seen it posted but have only skimmed through. Instead of going for the other cars exhaust port turn around and shoot your own - just keep the trigger down and watch your score go up - before this my highest score was about 400000! It's a far easier target than the other cart - although you do spin a lot more! Didn't manage to max out - should have read this board before I went!

 

[drj1950]

Oh its on here about shooting at your own but we advise against it

Most of us believe that shooting your own exhaust port is like cheating at solitare. The only one you are fooling is YOU.

While spinning out, no one else in the cart can really shoot at anything. Its better to just keep shooting the other cart, cause you will get more points, and you won't make anyone in your own cart mad.

Good point, if i am riding with some #$%^& that is shooting our car's exhaust port, it would not be a happy time

Actually, the last time I was there, only one side was running and we were in the front cart. After the scanner, we kept spinning out. After the third time, I looked around to see who was shooting the cart, but no one was. And then we spun out a few more times. It was the first time that had happened to me.

I had that happen once last Sunday. I assume it was just the car. Very difficult to max out when it spins from the end of the scanner all the way to alien at the news stand. I think i only had 865,000 on that run.

Which targets are good for 20,000 points? The ones I'm pretty sure about are below. Anyone know of others?

Frank-30K
Exhaust Ports-20K
Big Eyeball/Tentacle's Gun-30K

Is the single riders line open? I went a few weeks ago, and it was down because of some problems in the gun room. I would like to make sure it is back up before driving there.

 

[noice]

I think the aliens in the roof at the end are work 25k.

When your guns reactivate after the training area, you can look back and shoot the swinging target for 20k a hit. Its pretty hard to hit though.

I was just there last week and the singles line was open (except for about 20 minutes while they cleaned up after someone who shouldn't have tried to go on a second time.)

Well, like I said in my previous post, I was at US/IOA last week. I had won a 7-day pass from Universal during their SuperBowl promotion. YIPEE!!

I found a few members of the staff to be very friendly and helpful as my daughters and I continued to grace their singles line. (No, we didn't use the cut thru but ran our way out of the building, past the lockers and back into the singles line.) One of the girls that worked there had asked if I had maxed out yet, and I told her no and then asked what the maxed out score was, not having found this message board until after I got home. DOH! (Ooops! That is the ride next door! lol.)

Anyways, my score was usually around 300,000 to 400,000 range. I was able to get in the 30,000 range in the practice area just shooting at the swinging guys and the ones in the windows straight ahead when they finally appeared.

After having a few rides that didn't have a second car to shoot at because it was not synced or only one side was running, I tried to do what many in here consider cheating. (Sorry, I didn't know!) I shot my own car after the scan. WOAH! My score increased. I usually only shoot the other car though when it is available since it gives others in my car a chance to shoot something also.

I did find that as noted in here you can continue to shoot the other cars long after the spinning stops. I think this was what helped bring me to my personal best of 779,700. I know, not great by anyone who can max out, but I am still happy with it.

Some of the workers would give me tips knowing that I was becomming a regular, especially my last day when my oldest daughter and I rode MIB almost all day, with the exception of taking a food and mummy break. We must have rode it about 40 or 45 times that day. One tip that was mentioned was about Frank. It took me a while to find him.

I will probably not be going back this year, although I did see the season pass for the rest of 2009 being offered with no restriction dates for only $99 with a Coke UPC. So six months for $99 is pretty good. I only live about 2 hours away, so day trips are possible during the weekend. If I don't get that, my next trip will be next summer. I will probably have to split my time between Harry Potter and MIB.

So to make a long story short (oops, too late) when I do go back I would love to ride a couple times with a few of you experts and help get my score up to at least max out on one gun. I'll just take a photo of the score myself to put on top of the photo that I will buy for that run.

Thanks for all your storys, hints, tips, tricks and encouragements posted. It gives me hope that next time I can actually hit the ellusive 9s.

I rode for a few hours today,single line was in use the whole day,lots of sensors still down(the first drop down boy on green side hasn't worked for a looong time now)I was shocked by how few people there were in the morning got to use the second gun quite a bit.With a lot of luck and 2 great guns I did do a double max on the red side I wish they still showed the scores in the pictures I would have bought my first one.

 

[elasmosaurus]

Thanks for the tips. They were helpful.

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.)

First i divide the game into five areas with scoring ranges for each.
AREA 1) THE TRAINING AREA: 40,000 TO 61,000
AREA 2) THE CRASH SITE AND TOWN AREA: 214,000 TO 342,000
AREA 3) THE AMBUSH: 414,000 TO 614,000
AREA 4) THE RUN FOR THE BUG: 800,000 TO 999,999
AREA 5) EATEN BY THE BUG: 999,999 TO 1,137,000

Basic guidelines:
1) always hold the trigger on the gun. even if you aim at the ceiling every ten NOISES that the gun makes is worth 1,050 points. SO NEVER LET GO OF THE TRIGGER.

2) With very few exceptions that i will note in the upcoming threads AIM FOR THE EYES or BETWEEN THE EYES. the do-right and dufus tape shows you can shoot the shoulder or neck area. You can if you want to stay the low score in the car.

3) free tip: the best cars to max out on the score are LEFT SIDE ROWS ONE AND TWO and RIGHT SIDE ROWS THREE AND FOUR. Now before you all try to get in only those cars, i have hit the 999,999 from all four cars in both front and back rows. i just find it easier to hit the 1,137,000 from these two cars.

I will stop here for now and see there are any objections to this plan by the moderators, or any specific questions. I will if allowed post a new thread every week or so. dealing with the stratagy for right and left car in each area.

well MsDisney you asked for it
