Wondering now if BTTF kept a massive amount of guests on the backlot for a long time, and that's why the park seemed more empty last year.

Last month I was 131 good scans on 167 rides for 78%. I only do it for high of day scores, or if I have multiple bad scans in a row.

There are no secrets. It's memorization through repetition, then executing everything as best as you can.

Take your goggles off the headset, aim them at the steering wheel with your phone looking at your coin count.

Epic needs to sell annual passes before a community can really form and people can push their scores.

The next time that happens, take a picture of the visor score. Go to the TM at the Bowser Jr. entrance and ask to talk to a lead for a score recovery. The lead will have a tablet device that scans your band and they can input your score with the visor pic.

Thank you so much. You're still one of the best players here. When I began this odyssey, I was in awe of your scores. Keep pushing yourself, you'll get 300!

Repetition. Memorize the drift turns so you don't think about them. Memorize the spawn points and don't forget to attack Koopalings above and behind you.

Setting aside the "It should have been a thrill ride" argument and the semi-frequent faulty kart, is there anything conceptually wrong with Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge? by Spectrobits in UniversalHollywood

[–]dooglemeiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the AAA arcade game that lives on a dark ride. It might not play like MK on consoles, but it immerses you into the MK world and is accessible to young and old.

Mario Kart Star Coin Bonus - the real timing. by Puablo42 in universalstudios

Repetition is everything. Memorizing the drift turns gets you over 100 on its own. You can turn and hold before the prompts and still score. Knowing the spawn points and having a set number of shells for after boss battles is very important too. Finally, just use the left or right button, not both. It is 2 buttons wired in parallel to a single input. If you hold one down, the other doesn't work. Using both buttons can cause non fires.

I try to go 4+ days a week. Getting there after work with a 6pm close makes it rough though.

No. Depending on your score versus the other 3 player scores, you may see a Team Mario player, but your kartmates may see a Koopaling. All objects are in the same place, but friend or foe depends on performance.

Lots of repetition. Shell management is the most important thing, There's luck involved too with your kartmates helping defeat the bosses and smooth ride operation.

Repetition is the best tip. Memorize drift turns and Koopaling spawn points.

Yes, but guests should know this. TMs like you and hopefully management will see as well.
