Originally Posted By DlandDug A few tips... Bear in mind that there are different point levels for the four different targets. Round targets are worth 100 points. Square targets are 1,000. Diamond shape are 5,000, and triangles are 10,000. Don't bother with the round ones, unless they reveal higher point targets. You can get multiple points for multiple hits of the same target. If you get a good bead on a diamond or triangle, keep hitting it repeatedly. Also, if your car slows down or stops, keep shooting at the highest value target within range. The scoring does not stop when the attraction stops. Keep an eye out for lighted targets. They are being triggered by home players, who "help" players in the game. There are random bonuses for hitting a lighted target. The "jack-in-the-box" has a low target on the outside. Hit it, and the lid pops open to reveal a diamond, then alien "jack" pops up to reveal a triangle. There is also a circle near the exit of the same room (on the left) that reveals an easy-to-hit diamond target. In the last room, there is a "discarded toy" on the floor behind the cars, as they face Buzz and Zurg. Hit the circle on it, and a triangle target pops up, within a few feet of your car. Blast away. There are also two hidden targets, in the figures of Zurg. There is a line running doen the center of his chest. Just below the front of his cape, on the line, there is a very small, dark cirle. Shoot directly into that circle, and you will get 50,000 points. You may also get multiple shots of this target. Good luck. (My high score is 1,272,000.)

Originally Posted By Kathi K Thank you so much for this info! I had no clue. My husband and I have made this ride a competition but never seemed to be able to get over 200,00, either one of us. I am not going to tell him I got this information until I blow him out of the water next week! Thanks again.

They occasionally light up, but they do it in a wave so it is easy to miss. The first one is on the right, just after you get in there, and the second one is on the left just before you leave.

Originally Posted By hopemax It is also helpful to not be near other excellent players, cause they get all the high point targets before you have a chance to shoot at them.

Originally Posted By DlandDug There are also two diamond targets in the roof of the "SuperSpeed" tunnel-- but then, you already knew that, right? When you emerge from the tunnel and are "snapped" into place facing Zurg, there is a series of strobe flashes. That is when your photo is taken. AND... there is also a hidden tribute to the former tenant of the Circle-Vision building. Above the tunnel, in the dark, if you look closely as you circle Zurg and Buzz, you can see the sun and moon from the Delta pre-show of long ago. Oh! And "LGM" isn't a player. It is a default that pops in when a high scoring player fails to stop at the photo capture. If you are a high scorer, when you locate your photo you get a prompt screen to enter your initials. If you are THE top score, your photo is displayed, too. If you do not stop, the initials "LGM" (Little Green Men) appear.

If you keep riding and learning where targets are, then you'll get better scores. Being a CM helps, we ride to check the ride and stuff like that, so we get good practice. A score like that one at that late at night was probably a maintenance person.
