    Thanks for a great recap! Super fun to relive that again :)
    A few small corrections though:
    - None of the alien animatronics came from the movie. Film FX hardware can’t hold up to theme park cycle times, so every alien in the ride was custom-made for the ride. We used the *designs* form the film for two aliens (Worm Guys in break room, and @&%# and Bob in the immigration room), but even those were just referenced from the film designs, they were all new sculpts and skins and new robot engineering. Fun fact: FX guru Neville Page designed about half of the aliens in the ride, as well as the vehicles and guns (he is now famous for Avatar, Tron: Legacy, Cloverfield, etc. - we got to bask in his amazing talent before he got super famous LOL)
    - Endings weren’t changed due to guest testing. We had settled on the “low/medium/high” ending scheme pretty early, which manifests as three scenic endings (coach/tailor/blank hallway), but multiple (9-12 for variety) Will Smith video clips comparing the two average vehicle scores. What changed after testing was the *score amount* required to get to the two highest tiers; it was originally a lot more difficult LOL. Fun fact: the game computer takes into account “empty seats” when calculating vehicle average (by seeing if the zappers have been used), so a single rider in an empty vehicle can still “beat” the other vehicle, and reach “Galaxy Defender”.
    - There were actually *more* concepts for the framing device other than the Orlando Airport, another was the Tropicana Orange Juice Factory Tour (because Florida, and because Tropicana is a Seagram’s brand, who owned the park at the time).
    Thanks again for a really awesome and well-made recap!

      My day has been made to have the CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ACTUAL RIDE leave a comment! Thank you Dave for clearing up some things and for helping create one of my favorite attractions at the park! I never knew about the Tropicana concept, that would have been something else, bet everything would have smelled like oranges in the area if it did happen 😂

    My father is Timothy Bernardi who was the document control coordinator of this ride. He not only worked on the attraction but also helped co-write "The Universe and You" theme with David Cobb, in fact they are still friends with each other today. He actually used to send me pictures and videos of work site and building process. My father would later go on to do construction work on THE MUMMY as well.
    SOME FUN FACTS:
    - One of the original names was "Men In Black: Galaxy Defender". This made more sense namely because in the ride the aliens aren't really "ATTACKING", They are fleeing. I think Alien attack had more appeal though.
    - David Cobb Actually has an Animated cameo in the tutorial video before the loading queue
    - At the end of the ride you weren't originally going to end up in The Universe and You. In the BETA the ride was going end up, Strangely enough, At a Tropicana Factory (Florida what are you gonna do).
    - In the original Stephen King ride concept, there was going to a point where there was a fake exit scene. This concept would later be used in The Mummy.

      @tankart150 6 лет назад +7

      Alright Rookies, fellow expert here, I’ve got some additional tips for you to become the best of the best! 😎
      1)There’s an addional video that can help you improve your scores, it’s on a channel called USFADDICTS
      2) When the ride has a short wait time, you can reride over and over without exiting to the gift shop. When you walk up the stairs, instead of continuing forward to the door, turn around to the opposite direction and there will be the child swap entrance. Go through the child swap and you’ll approach the riders station again. The team members usually give you the go ahead and put you in the remaining Express queue 😎 It is usually allowed unless there is Mardi Gras or 1 hour prior to park closing :)
      3) aim for 2nd and 3rd Story Windows. If you’re on the inside track during the Training Room segment right before the Crash Landing the ones straight ahead should give you the most points 😎 even when the aliens haven’t shown up yet there are sensors the size of a dime on different windows that you can zap over and over for lots of points and glass breaking sound effects.
      4) Aim for the Exhaust Port. If you don’t have one in front of you I’d recommend going for green eyes on posters, parking meters, and store fronts. Occasionally you can also turn around and zap your own Exhaust Port. :)
      5) Hit the red button to activate the Subatomic thermal nuclear disruptor to defeat The Big Bug.
      6) during the ambush knock down as many bugs as possible by aiming for the barrels of their extraterrestrial weapons. On some of those aliens the sensors are on the the forehead near the eyes. A sensor in the ride is usually marked by small circles.
      7) after the ambush ignore the chess players and go for the intimidating green eyes in the bushes.
      8) I forgot to mention this one but it’s covered in that other video I mentioned. After the first spin there will be a giant squid alien with one eye, aim for the barrels (inside) of it’s weapons. For this one I usually go for the one on the right tentacle. The video will cover the locations of the sensors on this guy, because it can be a little bit tricky.
      With these tips you should be able to become a Galaxy Defender! 😎

    Bonus tips:
    1) Shoot *your* vehicle and not their vehicle. You get the same points and it makes sure the enemy bugs can't target you down.
    2) *Hold down the red button*. As long as you're holding it down when you get under the bug, it'll count you as pressing it on time. If everyone does it, they all get the bonus, and your car's score average will go up!

    I remember riding this years ago, probably almost 10-13 years ago. I absolutely loved it. Was a huge boat of fun to have a friendly competition with my mom and her friend that was with us on the trip. I will never forget this ride. I loved being able to be a part of one of my favorite movies of that era. It’s a shame that Universal has shut down every good ride they had (Jaws, MIB, B2TF) but they will always live on in our memories. I remember when B2TF the ride closed in Hollywood, I was a little bit sad, but thankfully I got to ride it one of the last times in 2008 before they closed it in Orlando. I rode this ride actually right before I rode the B2TF ride. Loved both very much.

      The original concept for the opening of the video was to include that quote with this video -> ruclips.net/video/gaDmzbWoflk/видео.html but we worried the video would get flagged for copyright.

    • @ThemeParkHistory
      @ThemeParkHistory  6 лет назад +1

      Honestly that's the way to do it these days. Even when my family went on single rider we would somehow all end up in the same vehicle. You can on in less than 5 minutes!

    • @maxwelld37
      @maxwelld37 6 лет назад +1

      The regular pre show is just too long for its own good and the single rider line usually make the wait almost 0.

    But all the advice he has at the end is great and helps with getting that high score. Multiple people in the same ride vehicle can get that bonus though if you press and hold the red button when Zed tells you to.
