Queue for Jungle Cruise

[thegales]

I had been playing off and on today trying to get extra credits, and have had no problems getting into Jungle Cruise. However, tonight is a different story. So far, I have been first in the queue a couple of times, 1 person in front, and 2 people in front a couple of times. The good news is that it has been a very quick wait.

I am afraid of what tomorrow might bring.

Speaking of Jungle Cruise:

Thankfully, this queue isn't long or impossible like you say! I'm still trying to make up for the ~6000 credits I spent today!

everyone has been talking about the lines at Jungle Cruise all week! Hadn't seen them until tonight!

Don't you get more credits doing the Castle Fireworks Game?

You get 50 credits for reaching the 5th stage, and 40 credits for getting above 200000, and 150 credits if you finish in first place. That's a possible 240 credits per game! What do you get on the Jungle Cruise game for each game?

lol, I almost couldn't believe it when it happened! I've had all the other bugs like the black screen and getting up on the dock. I was watching the TV at the moment I actually got onshore! Who knows.

I like what Ned is saying in the picture:

"that was a close shave".

Perfect caption for the picture. lol

Actually when you win you only get 190 credits total. And sometimes, and very rarely...you get an extra 50 credits for getting a high score. So you can get 240 credits once every 10-20 high scores. That 40 credits for scoring over 200,000 points are only when you don't win.

BTW, if you compare running into the walls on the Jungle Cruise and fireworks for credits...stealing from Ned comes out slightly ahead. Depending on your load times and how you run into walls, you can get in a game every 1:01-1:10. (GBShorts has it down to 1:01 flat...I still hover in the 1:15-1:30 range). That means in an hour you can earn 1200-ish credits. A fireworks game usually takes 9-11 minutes to play...plus you usually have to to wait in the lobby. If you win every game you play in an hour (I usually can get 5 games in an hour) that's only 950 credits.

The second advantage of playing Jungle Cruise for credits is that you can do other things while your're hitting the walls. When you're playing fireworks you need to put all of you energy into watching the fireworks, and (at least in my case) you get a bit twitchy after 5 or 6 games.

PS: When I play Jungle Cruise I use this strategy (thanks to GBShorts! You rock!!!) When you start off push the down and left arrow to move off the screen and to continue to run into the walls at the left. When you're off the screen release the down arrow and depress the up arrow to zoom up to the middle of the dock (keep the left arrow down). Then go backwards back off the screen...and keep doing it over and over! You just have to be very careful that you don't enter the realm of Shirley Temple (the Elephant Bathing Pool scene). I hope that helps!

Ha. Ned never stops saying that to me when I'm playing Jungle Cruise!

I came up with a semi hands free approach. I start off and push the arrow down until I get to just under the bridge. Then I put a pair of sissor tips on the arrow key giving me two hands to do what I am working on. So I only spend half the time with a hand on the key board.

What a great idea LittleBelle ! I'll be having some hands free boat crashing going on today

 

[marypops!]

im not sure about the credits
i was playing for over an hour on off on off and after i went to the music game to see how much credits i had after playing a song and i only gained 590 credits

i want more credits

I always use jungle cruise to get my credits. I went from 0 to 2000 to get my spacesuit ugh.. good thing i have a TV where my computer is. To get my credits i always go to the back then hold the left arrow key down and watch TV. Also, this is my first post!!!
