But I'm happy with my score. I love that ride!!

Originally Posted By Elderp The only two "tips" I know is that it behooves you to shoot as many times as you can because you get points for just shooting. Shoot the back of the hand of the robot, it is worth a bunch of points. There is this box with a target on it. Shoot it and the box opens, shoot the target inside the box a monster jumps up. Shoot the monster and you get a lot of points. Also shoot zurg up he is worth a lot of points.
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy The ride DID stop, but after the targets, so the people behind me got to rack up points, but I couldn't. So my 603,000 only got me third place. But I was still pretty excited! And I was riding with my 11 year old niece, so that was great! I got the huge eyes and the "woooow, look at your score!" My best advice is to ignore the circle targets, they are only 100 points. Go for the squares, triangles, and diamond shaped targets, they are worth alot more. And once you get a line on a target, keep shooting! Also, there is a huge bonus for shooting something on Zurg himself - I think it is on his chest. I just shoot the heck out of him, and got lucky that time. dzy76, I'm putting my money on you! Boy will your son be surprised!

Originally Posted By Mauison I just checked out that link and it looks like that's the WDW version, which is different than the DL version. So...there is a target on the first Zurg, but it is on his chest. There is a little black dot that you have to shoot just right. It's hard to shoot because Zurg's spinning around but it is possible. I've hit it at least three times during one ride. I've read that there's also another target on the second Zurg before the ending but I didn't have a chance to try for it because I didn't know about it at that time. Other tips, look for the triangles, as they're worth 10,000. Look for lit up targets, as the scores double for them. In the dark tunnel before the ending, there are hidden targets that look a little red in the dark. Shoot them, and they light up bright red. My last trip to DL, I rode BLAS 24 times. I got 650,000+ on a no stop ride and 1,160,900 on a stop ride. I was lucky on that one, as we stopped in front of the pop up triangle near the end. Hope those tips help! Good luck!
Originally Posted By deadmentellnotales it's pretty easy actually and yeas you can beat 1 mil without the ride stopping at all, I do this all the time, I've even had all top ten spots! but enough about that, first off remember that the vehichle stops scoring at 999,999 but your total score for computer will keep going. Next you have to concentrate on hitting just the triangle and diamond targets. I mean this. Don't waste time with anything else but these, when I ride I first hit the Robot with the moving arms at the beggining of the ride one arm is a triangle on your left side the arm on your right is a diamond, aim for it first as you'll have a better position then as your moving on continue aiming at the triangle as the hallway turns aim towards Zurg and you'll see a diamond just before you come to him start hitting it, beware as there are moving objects in the way, next take aim at zurgs chest for secret bonus score but don't worry bout that too much as you have to be a dead aim to score. than as you start to leave zurg turn your cart to view the next upcoming room, start shooting at the carousel in the next room theres a few diamongs as well as triangles on it and you can keep aiming at it until all the way thru the until your almost out of that room. Then on your right hand side you'll see a diamond moving target towards the ground area shoot at him as he's closer than the higher triangle which has another target that sweeps in front of it, after tagging it a few time move on to the aformentioned triangle and diamond, then before the next zurgs room you'll see some lit up diamonds soot like mad. At the final zurgs room aim for the triangle above zurgs shoulder, then as you round zurg turn the vehichle around facing the wall as there's a hidden triangle that'll pop up if you hit a round target, shott this a bunch and your about done. Remember than diamonds are 5000 pts. and triangles are 10,000 pts. also remember that practice makes perfect so don't expect to get really high score at first, shoot my wife just now has started to hit between 400,000 - 600,000 points (I'm very proud of her) I myself only do well because I've devoted many, many days on just this ride perfecting my shooting as well as the above strategy. Hope it works out for you and anyone else that reads it. P.S. I'm sorry if the descriptions sound a bit vague, just ride it a few times and print this description out and you'll get it (i hope) let me know if you have any q's
