MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[MrBryan]

I'm not getting any better at this ride it seems

My max is 795,225

Most of the time my score is 500k something

I'm aiming for the targets in the guide but a lot of times they don't register as a hit.

It seems you basically can never miss to get 999,999?

Maybe parts of the ride are broken and it's not me

I know a lot of times the timing is off at the end of the training zone and the ambush

A couple of times in the ambush the aliens never popped up

There are many targets to shoot when things are not on the other day I had a bad gun changed to the gun next to me about have way through and still maxed out on the 2nd gun

You have hit what we call the 800,000 plateau. Was stuck there for the longest time. To help get you past it, shoot for the sensors on the drop-down-boys right after the scan in the ceiling. Find the sensor and stay on it till you can no longer hit it. Then proceed to eyes on the far right wall and then go to the exhaust port and the parking meter. These are not one hit wonders. When you find the spot stay on it and your gun should sing a constant song of scores.

When I hit my plateau, I spent a full day just working on hitting the exhaust port of the other cars. I wasn't that great about hitting them but by the end of the day, I could hit the exhaust port, 20-30 times. I practiced turning around and hitting them when they were behind us. Most people only shoot the exhaust when you are facing the other car after the scanners. But now I can get my best shots when we are no longer facing the other car.

Got stuck arond 900,000 had to also spend a day going over what i was doing brought the highlights from the handbook and just rode for a while.once I maxed never looked back

 

[MrBryan]

I maxed out via cheating the other day so i wont count that

Our car was stopped for a goood minute while the exhaust port was red so I just turned around and hit it till the scored maxed out.

I'm getting better and I know about the ceiling aliens now

I'm able to get my score into 200k prior to the ambush so I think I'm doing better

If you can post what your score is after each area that would tell what big points you might be missing. When I got stuck at 800K I found a few things put me over the top.

1) Know the good targets in the Crash Landing area. The first big one is the upper left window just past the big alien with the flashy gun (he's in the corner where you make the big left turn). That is the window that makes the broken glass sound when you hit it. Aim for the sensors in the window sill (small squares). It is worth 15K a hit and can be hit 10+ times if you keep aiming at it. After that there is the BIG tentacle/eyeball alien waving a gun. The sensor is a small circle just under the barrel of the gun. It is worth 30K and can again be hit many times. The last window on the right side of the room before entering the ambush area is another 15K target that can be hit many times. Sensors for that one are the small squares on the bottom of the window sill.

2) The eyes in the trees before the scan are worth 20K each, but not all can be hit at the same rate. I have found the eyes on the left center score hits twice as fast as some of the other eyes. Depending on which side you are on you can get 6-12 hits by just aiming at that one set of green eyes.

3) A previous post talked about all the good things to hit after the scan and how you can keep hitting the exhaust port all the way to the last big turn. You can also shoot at exhaust ports on cars coming up behind you. One thing that got me more points in the last area was switching targets. If you have the other car spinning you can pick out a set of eyes and get in a quick two or three shots before going back to the exhaust port. If you find you aren't getting points off the exhaust port, give up and switch to eyes/parking meter before wasting too much time in a futile attempt to score exhaust points. Most eyes in that area are worth 15K, so it's not like you are losing too many points in the process.

Now if I could only figure out how to max out before hitting the scanner area.........

You should be entering the ambush with between 325,000 and 430,000 and then pick-up an additional 60,000 in the ambush before you hit the eyes in the trees. You are missing some good points in the crash area and the area just prior to the ambush

as an aside, just because the alien has not shown his face in the windows on the second story does not mean the sensors are not active.

THERE MY BIG SECRET IS NOW OUT FOR ALL TO EXPLOIT

 

[drj1950]

I knew the big secret already

 

[MIB999999]

rode a few times sunday. what is up with the sensors on the first drop down boy on the left track??? so many sensors to choose from and none of them work on this one target.

 

[MrBryan]

Yeah when I first read about the ceiling dudes I'd shoot that guy and nothing happens. He deffinetly is broken. The second works and shuts off when I shoot him.

Was the alien on the left track by the space ship still broken when you went?

There are also some aliens missing sensors when I went too

The drop down boys sensors are on the iron rail the forms the hole they come down thru.

which alien by the spaceship are you refering too? the one with the eye stalks will score you points, but the other two that you shoot the upper lip on are not worth much. if you are on the left side activate the baby carriage and then go for the fire hydrant guy, then up to the second story on the last widow to the left. the sensors are on the two lower window pane triangle pieces.

 

[drj1950]

I think its been almost this whole year that those sensors on the first drop down boy hasn't worked other stuff has been on and off for a while

Isn't amazing the sensors that can stop working and we still find a way to max out

 

[drj1950]

just goes to show there are more points out there than meets the eye

 

[MIB999999]

i will be there 9/12/09 close to opening. of course i will be at MIB

We're here from Calif. to visit our favorite ride this week. Any experts going on MIB through this Friday? I'd be happy to buy an Express Pass for you. We're staying on property so can use our hotel keys. I can max sometimes, but have a number of questions about sensor locations and point values. We may even be able to swap a couple of tips of things I have not read in the threads. Thanks!

So how did you do?

 

[Jonny_Duck]

been riding quite a bit the last few days since I am here for hhn...so far highest is 800k. Got 780k and missed bonus today so almost was 880k. Gonna try again tomorrow and work on a cpl targets that I think I have been missing. I do well on one side and other I usually end up with only 300k. No idea why. Can't figure out ambush at all. Don't think I have come away with any points on that. But I'm having fun and its a bummer tomorrow will be last day here.
