Here. I do give kudos to the man of the hour MIB999999 for creating the guide. However we have to remember he wrote this years ago and never updated. Why should he have to if he doesn't want to. Now I know in that period of time he knows a lot more than he use to in his guide. I have updated his guide and off of another person's Chris. This is Edward's Handbook Version 3.0. This is more detailed adding a few more touches that makes the 999,999 a lot easier to get to, even maybe making that dream a reality. With my guide, I hit 999,999 everytime. You can to with the other 2 guides, but as I explained earlier, this guide is just a tad more detailed and easier.
You know, I think it's great, Dogg, that you have made your own guide and that it gives you pleasure. I have held off saying anything, but I really can't anymore. I'm curious because you've mentioned a number of times that your guide is more detailed, and easier. Now, I have looked at your guide (or post, rather) that you linked in this thread, and also at your webpage and while the guide that includes pictures is nice and gives people a visual, I fail to see how your one page guide(the post on here amounts to one page, I know the photo guide is 2, but it's the same text, I believe) is more detailed (as you say) than MIB9's 6 page handbook (I included the first page since it gives some general tips) ?
Your guide is different than his, and for you, it's easier...but you started off giving credit to him and Chris, and have gone beyond that and have been tooting your horn over your guide and making negative remarks about MIB9's. It's not 2 or 3 years old...it's almost 2, but the ride hasn't changed. Yes, there have been some new discoveries that yield some big points, but it's not meant to be a guide to guarantee 9's everytime, without effort, it's meant to give some big-point tips to those who want to improve their score,and make 9's a strong probability. In all actuality, over these 2 years, many things have been added through discussion here, including the drop down aliens and the big eye-ball, but there were times when Kevin was reluctant to add things because it shouldn't be TOO easy! We can't have EVERYONE getting 9's!
You have different targets, not necessarily better, but different. They were all on the ride when the handbook was written, but MIB9's had his thoughts, ideas, and habits and he gets 9's more often than not. He didn't write his handbook to be a self-serving, ego-booster...he wrote it as a post on these boards because he hit 9's on a regular basis because he's ridden it over 1000 times, and many of us talked him into telling us his secrets.
I think, as I said, it's great that you have your own, and you gave him and Chris "credit" but calling MIB9's "the man of the hour" and saying your guide is easier and more detailed sort of takes the sincerity out of it, IMO.
I know, I'm biased, so I went back and read the entire handbook thread to see where the lesser detail was, and if one page that Dogg wrote has more detail than 6 pages MIB9's wrote, I'd just like to know where.
This was a thread where someone specifically was thanking Kevin for his tips, not an invitation for you to jump in and tell everyone how much better your guide is and how outdated his is. Nothing has changed on the ride, so his guide, on its own, is just fine.
You both are missing key scoring areas....they just can't ALL be in there because you can't shoot everything at once!
enough with the pop-up ads already!

I'm gonna have to arrange a yearly (or more)lol trip just so I can go on MIB! I still think Universal and Hersheypark should get together 
) Kevin works further away now and has been busy there, so he finds less and less time to post, and we hadn't been to Universal since the Shrek preview, so we are a little detached, I think!
