How to get a High Score on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters [SECRETS REVEALED] 

I recommend you start saying "Youngesters" instead of "kids" to avoid youtube algorithm due to the COPPA thing.

Just saw Chris today on Main St after studying this video last night (and hitting the top 10 today)! He’s a stand up guy and works hard at his job. Thanks for the tips!

Hi Chris, my highest score was 1.4 million and I was shocked! The ride stopped for a couple minutes in front of Zerg and the triangle behind his right arm, I kept shooting at it and racked up SO many points!! Love that ride! Thanks for sharing this with us and have fun traveling around the world with Amanda and Miles to all the Disneylands!! Sooo excited for you! Have a great Thanksgiving too!

Yay!! Cameraman Greg’s favorite ride!

Highest score: 2.3 million. Highest score without slowing or stopping: 1.2 million. Breaking a million without slowing or stopping is hard! To me they are different high scores.

Need this to beat my friend finally !!

A former cast member who used to work the attraction informed me that the higher the number on the ride vehicle, the better the calibration of the blaster. So if you get in and the ride vehicle says something like 5 on it, your laser is going to jump all over the place, which makes it harder to get a higher score, making the ones in the 70s and 80s the most accurate. Also, there is a hidden target where those scrabble pieces are. It doesn't light up when you shoot it, but your blaster will light up every time you hit it. My own personal way to get a high score, is to spin the ship to make sure it always faces a blue triangle as long as possible, making it so I'm almost always hitting the most valuable target for the most points. (Unless of course it is in a room with Zurg).😊 I used to ride this ride multiple times a week trying to get over a million points (which I totally did a couple of times) and really the best way to accomplish this is if you are lucky enough to experience any down time (when the ride stops moving) either right in front of Zurg or in front of a blue triangle. You can attempt to try to plan this by keeping an eye on guests in wheelchairs and electronic wheelchairs going on the ride, since it has to be slowed down or stopped for them to be loaded on or off. It's pretty tricky to time since they load from a different area, but the best way to do this is when the standby line is short. You either need to try and get on a couple of minutes before they do or after they do, to ensure you are a decent ways into the attraction once they are getting on or off the attraction.

I've gotten Galactic Hero twice at WDW, once without stopping and the other time I stopped at a good spot and kept scoring

Super nice to meet you guys the other day! Keep the helpful content coming!

Hey Chris thank you for the tip on buzz light year I went today and tried the things you told us to do and I got 707,400 without the ride stopping for my score. I’ve never got anything like that score before. thank you!

I love Provost Park Pass. You guys are truly excellent.

I love your videos !! Look forward to them !

Thanks to this vid, I went from having less than 100 000 points... to having a high score of 373,600 points... not the best I have seen, but I'm happy! So a space ace is my highest rank. Edit: 1. Got the rank wrong. space ranger 1st class is what I got, and 2. LOVE YOUR GUYS' VIDS SO THANK YOU FOR THE ❤! Keep it up! Also... some how editing removes the heart... whoops!

One cool fact is they utilized the old circle vision in the queue line for rocket rods to pay homage to a historic disney attraction without completely removing it

I’ve also noticed that if you’re shooting a lit up target, you get that bonus, but as long as you only shoot that target, you’ll keep getting that bonus score until you shoot another… the one time I got a decently high score, I had stopped at a square target that was lit up…. Got 1.4ish million, but I stopped after hitting that 999999 because I didn’t think about getting going higher

i only saw the first 3 minutes of the video but im sure its referring to the little black ball target on the center of both zergs chest. its not lit up, almost looks like the end of a remote. the trick is you have to extend your blaster all the way up, directly up. dont lean forward or back just lift your arm up so the cord stretches the most, aim at zergs chest and shoot. you can see your red dot on him so focus on the center where the black ball is and if you see your points going up then youre hitting it., again the trick is to lift the gun up so it hits the target a lot of times.

Chris - first off, your videos are fantastic! Grew up in Orange County so I was lucky enough to visit the park a lot as a kid and even worked there during college. I still love going as a (ahem) 'mature' adult. BLAB is one of our family's favorite rides but I am always ridiculed because of my ridiculously low scores. I will definitely be rewatching this video before my next trip in July and now that I know the secret, I will be focusing on those key targets. Wish me luck! And keep up the great work!

*Oh my gosh! I'm heading to Disneyland on Friday! Thanks for the tip!! Will also be renewing my pass!*

Best BLAB video I have watched with most information! I want to share this video with my wife but I have to much fun betting her every time on this ride

Yay I love your channel and cant wait for 50/50

Love this channel and the ride

Circlevision? That was pretty cool in the '80s, still. But it makes me feel old 🙂

Thanks, I’ll give it a try 👍🏻

i love your sweater! Keep up the great work!

I rode rocket rods. It was so fun. As a 9 year old, I remember it feeling so much faster than EVERYTHING in the park and so futuristic.

Late to the party, but I found that the BLAB blasters in DisneyLand (land only!) actually have basic sights. They are just a simple groove along the top of the blaster, but if you look down the sights and line up the back of the groove and the front of the groove on the target, your shots will basically land close to where the sights are pointing. You will still have to adjust so the visible dot appears in the target, but the sights will get you lined up faster and save you 1-2 shots as you figure out where you're pointing.

Bro thank you soooooo much

Buzz's blaster in the line lights up in all the versions of Astro Blasters, including Tokyo and the former Hong Kong versions. I don't know about Laser Blast in Paris though. Disneyland's is the only version where you get to know your score if you exceed 1M points while Tokyo's has a board which lists how many points each of the targets are worth before you get on the ride.

Awesome video!

thank you so much my brother is great at this and is really competive

Tip: if you stop in the dark tunnel, I there are 2 or 3 targets (you kinda have to find them) . I’m not sure what shape but you rack up a fair amount. Just wish that you stop there like I did

Finally been waiting for this! Midway mania next! Please just damn update the Disneyworld one I hate those guns!

Love this ❤️

I have been playing this since I was 9 years old and it’s still fun as an adult also thanks for the tips Chris

Highest score is 1.9MM. I get over 1mm half of the time even without stopping. The actual secret to consistently get over 1mm is to have the same plan of specific diamonds & triangles. You should have over 200k after the first room over 400-500 after the first Zurg.

I always get my most points from the hidden chest target and the last battery target.

Hoping to get our passes again this upcoming month! 😍 Almost 50,000 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m so happy to finally see the secrets to this ride! Me and my family love it! ❤️❤️❤️

In my Family my best level is 3 my dad has got the level 4 before I want to beat that! Thanks for this video!

I remember Circle Vision on my first trip to Disneyland in 1972. I miss it! It was very cool!

Eee! I'm going to Disneyland next week for the Candlelight Processional, and I'm definitely going to try this out! I hope to see you guys there, too!

This is my favorite ride!

First off, I love your tie Chris. Very cool and next, I never paid attention to the shapes and their values. No wonder I always got such bad scores. Hope you all had a good holiday.

7 million points?!! What, were they stuck on the ride for 2 hours?? Gotta love Buzz Lightyear, Great ride, Happy Holidays PPP!

I got to be a Galactic Hero on Astro Blasters. Thanks for the tips.

Haha I remember circle-vision!

Thanks

My favorite ride even tho I have never beaten any of my family members. Great video

I'm excited to go on this again! I got galactic hero at magic Kingdom but need to get it at Disneyland!

Omg this is SO awesome!! I’m totally going to try these out. My scores are always below 100,000 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

I actually never knew about the pc game. Nice find.

"Mind breaking"??? LOL You are hilarious when you speed along. OMG LOLOLOLOL

Chris and Amanda, a package is on it's way to you guys...

Here's an important thing to know about scoring high on BL: once you exceed 1M points, the cruiser will simply display 999999. However, your score will continue to increase with each target you shoot. This is *critical* (and it's happened to me *countless* times): if your score exceeds ~ 2,096,000, it *resets.* That is, you lose *all* of your points and start over at zero. This didn't used to be the case; it seems to have changed about three years ago. Scores used to be unlimited. I've spoken with reps at Disney a few times about this (not cast members but actual corporate reps) and they insisted that it's intentional; that it's the way the ride was always meant to be. This explanation seems to me to be cover for a glitch in the code that they simply don't care to fix.

you guys are soooooooo cool

Hope to run into you again at Disneyland! I'll be there again in 3 days. Haha. Thank you for th e videos.

Most robots you’re shooting at look like counterparts of pre-existing toy robots! Examples include the orange Boxobot looking like a Rock Em Sock Em, a small wind-up matching a Rascal Robot (you can shoot at it in other parks), and the red one with rocket boots is nearly identical to the Thunder Robot.

I'll be getting hero when I go I love these types of rides lol

I saw him in the pirates line and to a pic with him

LOVE ASTRO BLASTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What???? I was going to message Chris and Greg for a cheat sheet to use against my family for our Christmas trip. Perfect timing, I will keep this secret to myself

I just watched this video from 4 years ago. Wow! Anyway, my highest score was 433,000 and ranked 96. I can't imagine getting 1M or more like you have. How many times did you have to ride this ride before you knew all this hidden info stuff?

I saw you guys so many times this past Sunday but I was too scared to say hi! Oops, but hi!

I love this ride. But it could use a small refurbishment

Cool Batman sweater Chris and happy Thanksgiving 🦃🏈 to Amanda in miles

Yesss!!

I'm always a level 4 my friend gets sometimes to level 5. I use to play the game online when I was little.

Wow, thank you for this excellent video on Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters [BLAB]. The next time I ride Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters [BLAB] I will be sure to employ these techniques! Do you prefer Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters [BLAB] to Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin?

Could you do a video on the top ten disney foods to share?

My wife beats me on this ride every time! But after this video it won't happen again lol woohoo thanks Chris!

Lol, I didn’t know that some people call this ride BLAB 😂

A new Chris Provostism... "Mind Breaking". Awesome!

I usually get around 150k. Maybe now I can rack up those points!

Neat! You guys should collab with Aaron Zabriskie

As a teen my parents took my sister, myself and a friend of mine to Disneyland when the Circle Vision was still up and running. We all went in to the Circle Vision and when it showed the airplane my friend started falling down she ended up sitting in corner facing the wall she couldn't watch the Circle Vision.

What kind of camera is Cameraman Greg using to capture great footage in such dim lighting?!

Literally waiting in line now lmao

My highest score was 1.7 million but I did get the high score of the day!

I needed this because i need to surpass my mother!!!

Hey is there any news on if you guys can stay a family friendly channel?

Spanish Buzz is my favorite part of ALL the Toy Story movies. Period.

Wow so early

ive been on this ride twice but my high score in space ranger spin at WDW is 999,999

THX NOW I CAN WIN MY BROTHER 🌸💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Yes I finally have a chance to beat my dad

I donT believe that that upside down “hidden Mickey” is a true one

I would hope to get over 7 million some day.

4:48 Starts here

When Does Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters Take Place?

At which Disneyland is this

461,900 is mine. my goal is 1 million! far ways away lol!

The highest score isnt 7 million. My high score is 16.9 million. The highest score ever recorded is actually 17 million (that I know of). This was before the score board broke about 2 years ago. What I mean by 'broke' is any score that is greater or equal to 2,100,000 will not count for the score board. Instead your score is reset to 000, but you get 48 points aswell. So if you see a score on the score board that ends in a 48, then it is actually that score +2.1 million. With that said, if you go over 2.1 million twice (it's very possible), then your score gets another 48 points. You can use this to calculate your score once you get into the high millions. That's how I calculated mine. Theres secrets abt this ride that few people know, and thankfully none were mentioned here. Great video though 👍🏼

Toy story next?

0:57 "The tickets will not get cheaper in 2020" In hindsight, they couldn't get more expensive in 2020, either...

Where the midway mania secrets

Sure Cameraman Greg gets motionsick, but do we really need to bring up the churro challenge?

Is this Disneyland or Disneyworld

i just came home today are you serious

HELP!!! I swear there is a target that when you hit it you hear goofy yell yahohohoaaa. Am I just hearing things or can anyone else confirm this? I thought there was a hidden target in the ceiling of the warp tunnel that does this. HELP DISNEY FAM YOUR MY ONLY HOPE!!!!

Once I read a comment and it said, My 5 year old son got the max score, and I never let him ride buzzlightyer Astro blasters again.
