How about an evil glare instead?

damo - I LIKE your thinking!! That's how I feel too! I'm already pestering my DH for another trip possibly in the fall. But he's not going for it - he doesn't have any vacation days left so it would mean my traveling down with the kids without him and he's not about to be left out! He wants to ride Mummy as much as I do! I'll keep on him though

phamton - I looked for you at MIB from May 7-11. We rode usually the first few hours in the a.m. and then the last couple of hours before park closing. I didn't see anyone that resembled you. I did see someone max out with 999,999, but she was an older woman (60's?) - anyone know who she was?

 

[phamton]

There is a couple of older people that max out.

Here's my picture:

I hope it wan't me that looked 60 years old. I'm only 53! If it was me---humor me and tell me it wasn't me you saw!

 

[threeboysmom]

phamton - I KNOW it wasn't you - I've seen your picture before - you have blonde, shoulder-length hair, right? (your picture on this thread didn't come up, but I've seen it before) Actually, I can't believe you are 53!! I hope I look that good when I get to be that age!!

This particular woman was with her husband (?) who also scored in the 900,000's, but didn't max out like she did.

Famous last words of the young.

 

[phamton]

I bet I know who you are talking about. There is a couple (older than me) who max out. He has long hair and wears it in a ponytail and wears a beret type hat. They usually max out but by shooting their own exhaust.

Sorry about the picture not showing up. Our server was down today for some reason. My son is working on getting it back up. Yes, I have blonde shoulder length hair. I am sooo happy to know that I don't look 60 years old.

What happens when you max out?

 

[phamton]

The score only goes to 999,999 and then stops. You can't get any higher than that. So when you max out you get the maximum score of all 9's. I max out 90 per cent of the time.

 

[2BigKIdz]

What's the trick? I never seem to do very well.
Thanks

 

[phamton]

My son has a Men in Black website. He has tips on improving your score and pictures of the aliens which shows where the sensors are. It's at http://www.meninblack.tk

 

[threeboysmom]

Yes - that's who they are! So..........they cheat, huh?!

Our family LOVES your son's website by the way. Tell him "thank you!" It's the best one we've seen. We were constantly checking it while back at our hotel. My 14 DS maxed out once and my DH maxed out once too. The highest I got was 709,000 so I was happy with that. Even my 6 DS was scoring in the 200,000 range blowing away any other adults sitting with us

Phamton - could ya help me out a little here? Your son's website is awsome but I am having trouble figuring out which is the red, and which is the green side. Since we will be using FOTL staying onsite, it seems that we always end up going to the cars on the right as you go down the stairs. I think that means we are going on the green side - is that right or am I completly confused

 

[phamton]

Yes, you will be on the green side. Express and FOTL almost always go on the green side---to the right. Those in the standby line go on the red-side.

He named them green and red because the spots you stand on waiting for your car are green (on the right) and red (on the left). I hope that helps. So if you are using FOTL. I'd only study the green side. The only way you would be put on the red-side is if you went in the single rider line or the standby line or if you request to go on the red side. Otherwise, you will be on the green side.

I'm glad you like the site. Our server has been running a little slow the last few days and so I know the pages are loading slowly. We are trying to figure out why things are loading so slowly.

Hey, 3boysmom, you need to have your son and husband send us a picture so they can be on the Hall of Fame! And tell them congratulations for getting all 9's. That is awesome!

 

[cc1954]

Phamton - thank you now the tips will really help!!

 

[GSDRescuer]

Heyyyyyyy, Phamton!!!! Was that YOU in the same car in front of us on Friday???????? The blonde lady in the front seat on the right side scored 999,999. I thought that the game had misfunctioned!!!! WOW!!!! I think I made a comment to you. There was also a young boy who rode next to me (behind you) who briefly spoke to you.... I thought that maybe he was with you. Will go check out your son's website, so my husband will be ready for the next trip!!!!!!!!

We got to ride Mummy on Friday! It was AWESOME and tooooo short. Wooooohoooooooooooo! What a ride!!!!!
