Scoring on Buzz is (essentially) broken again (+light crowds and park pics)

[WonkaKid]

Several weeks ago there was a problem with scores on Buzz Lightyear coming through with their associated pictures at the end of the ride. I spoke with the good people at Disney and it was soon corrected. The problem, however, seems to have returned. After about 20 rides on Buzz today, only around seven of my scores came through. A friend also experienced the same problem today. I raised the issue with Guest Relations and hopefully it will be corrected once again. Today, however, I broke 2M on both guns but that ride, unfortunately, was among those that didn't have a pic with a score at ride's end. Oh well. As I say, hopefully it' be fixed by next weekend.

On the upside, the park was great today: crowds were the lowest I've seen in a long time. To give you an idea of how light they were, I rode POTC at 1:00 and my wait time was only about 12 minutes. I rode Mr. Toad at 2:00 and my wait time was a mere eight minutes. Hopefully this is repeated next weekend .

Here are a few pics from the park today. Enjoy .

First in the park (maybe you guys are getting sick of hearing/seeing this).


Broke 2M on both guns today (but didn't get credit for it because of the scoring problem I mention above).




Redd was out in full force today .












One of my better scores from today.

I don’t get tired of seeing you first in the park! I feel the thrill through the screen!

I always love your short reports...
And I can’t wait to try out buzz for the first time myself...

I saw you when you took the empty Main Street Photo!!! But I went to the Space Mountain rope area instead of Peter Pan!
And I too thought the crowds were fine today, especially after hearing so many people complain about Sundays. I hope it's like this next Sunday when my friends are tagging along with me!!

I never get tired of your empty park photos!

I am so jealous and confused by how you can play two guns at once?! I have a hard enough time controlling one gun and spinning myself to line up with the targets I want to aim at! Great pics too.

Actually, I only do one gun at a time. When I estimate that I've reached about 2,050,000, I holster the first gun and pickup the second. You have to keep track in your head since scores above 1M don't display on the cart. Also, if you exceed about 2,096,000, (which I do at least once per park visit), your score resets and you lose everything.

Good luck on your next game. Let me know how you do!

Me too! Yesterday was the best/lowest crowds I've seen in a long time. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come .

Next time you see me, please feel free to say hello. About once every two months, someone from the board will approach me and introduce themselves .

Do you ever play Midway Mania at DCA?

The empty Main St photo is beautiful! Wish I was there!

Do you ever play Midway Mania at DCA?

Believe it or not, I've only done it once. I don't get over to DCA very often. I went about ten days ago and that was the first time in eight months.

Where exactly is the ride photo taken?

Where exactly is the ride photo taken?

the photo is taken just after you enter the last large room to confront the last (second?) Zurg.
