There are some key Z locations - the harder to get to [like ones you can only get to when teh car is backwards] are worth loads. And it is quite the classic ride already even at its young age - though building anything with an OmniMover car system already gives it a notch above the rest it seems :D

I got 898,456 once this last trip. My brother got 897,something without ever stopping.

I wonder if the holding of the trigger is good for the DL version? There used to be a target in the dark section, before you go into the projection screen hall, that was worth 999,999 points so if you knew where it was you only had to shoot once. But they took it out because to many people were hitting it.

I never thought I would like it, I'm 23 and my brother is 26 and we are now addicted to the ride.

At WDW has anyone ever hit the spinning Zs that you can see from the TTA. Me and my sister try every time, but the lasers don't seem to turn that far

Yeah I do all the time. They will hit them as soon as you get into the big room. You have to try just as you get into it. You actually, from what I can remember , you don't really get that many points for hitting them.

Really!? We thought it was the hardest one on the ride! Although, we always tried to shoot it after going around the mountain. :oops:

Yeah you have to do it before you go around the mountain. Yeah the points are pretty low for some reason. I let my brother shoot at them while I looked at his score. It only went up maybe 500 points if memory serves me correctly.

I just got back from my trip this past Sunday and it was amazing! I think I was able to do just about everything everyone suggested. I can't say that I have a favorite ride, show, or park, but that the whole experience was a blast. If only I could still be down there!
Meep meep meep.

Welcome back! Yeah that is always the feeling after you leave the resorts. It never hits until you get home and go back to work or school though.

Dont miss any of the night time shows! If need be catch up on sleep during the days. Better still just sleep when you get back home! If you cant get to all of them though I would pick fantasmic if you have kids or illuminations if you dont! Just make sure you arrive with plenty of time before the show for both so that you get good seats.

I would have to go with COP, just because it is so classic Walt Disney!

Both versions are the same, so if you've seen one- you've been them both. Try and get a seat on the top lift so you don't see peoples feet and in the middle so you don't get that weird inversion(which kinda makes me dizzy).

You should see it before it is gone forever. It is a great one to do on a really, really hot day to enjoy the air conditioning, and if there is a line, it moves quickly.

The Rock n Rollercoaster is my favorite roller coaster of all time.. This is big praise as I live about 2 1/2 hours from the biggest and best coaster park in the country (Ceder Point in Ohio).
