One of my ER docs is heading to Disneyland in two weeks. She and her husband are competing with another couple to see who can get the highest scores. She wants tips.


I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

I got it on Buzz, but I don't remember what you have to shoot to get it.

On TSM, it's a matter of being fast, accurate, and hitting the high point targets. Those are easier to pick out because they are all assigned a number value.

On Buzz, the farther away an object is, the higher the score it's assigned. The volcano is a biggie. So is Zurg. Hold the trigger down on your laser gun. It will repeatedly shoot unlike TSM where you have to keep pulling the cord. I've maxed out on Buzz twice.

On Buzz the shapes are important. I believe the triangle is worth the most followed by the diamond, the square, and then the circle. If the target is lit up it is worth more. If the ride stops or slows down keep firing. Adjust the angle of your vehicle to maximize target choices.

While generally this is true, two of the 100,000 point targets are right next to the track. They are difficult shots because of the angle, and you only have a few seconds that you can make the shot (unless the ride stops).

If you really want to know where all the high value targets are, you can google it. With a little memorization and practice you can max out your score every time.
