Coordinate with your teammate, because about 5 seconds into the game, each side of the screen will have a 2,000 point plate pop up into the air. Both sides hit theirs at the same time!

Tips: Keep the fox out of the henhouse, mice off the barn. Explode the lava and then the meteors. Shoot the two tandem plates at the same time. Fill up the spaceship before it respawns aliens. ;)

Go for the high score! Prepare a strategy and have good teamwork with your partner. Don't fire off rounds in the practice round, save your arm strength. Remember accuracy doesn't count, so go wild!

Possibly one of my favorite rides! A lot like the Astro Blaster ride but a little easier to shoot the targets and a little more fun. Hard to explain but a must do!

There will be a rocket ship filled with 8 aliens worth 100 points each. They will re-spawn shortly after you hit them. Work with your teammate and ring them all before the re-spawn.

This is so much fun! The 3D is like awesome and it's a fun competition between you and your friend/partner/whatever. Make sure you shoot the highest points and be accurate, trust me you'll win!

Best interactive game in either park but the frustration of the line & jerks holding spots ahead of you for the 8 people who went to ride California Screamin while you waited doesn't make it worth it.

Talk to Mr. Potato head and compliment him on his hat. If you have a hat on he will compliment you and he will take off his hat. You can also ask him to take his hat off and he'll do it!

Go early. It fills up quickly. We went as soon as it opened. It had a 10 min wait. By the time we got off the ride it had jumped to 40 minutes.

My favorite!!!! The 3D effects are awesome! Go at night or early morning so you don't die from the heat while in line... They need a fast pass for this ride for sure but I bet they'll have one soon

I love this attraction but the wait can be really bad. Try to do during Early Magic Morning or right when the park opens, or don't even bother...no FastPass and the queue is kinda dull.

This one was a blast (literally). The 3D was great and so worth it. Line was long but so is the ride & we liked it better than the Disneyland Toy Story ride. Buzz also works the line while you wait.

It's like Astro Blasters except with a ball and string connected to what looks like a firehose. Fun, but will get you tired especially when you're tied

My favorite ride in the whole park! Beat the line early in the morning and then come back again later when it slows down again.

This is the most entertainig ride in the park. The line is longest between 9 and 10 and again between 12:30 and 2... Avoid those times and have a blast!

Worth wait. Pull cord fast and often to get highest score. Don't forget to take pic of score before exiting!

Best ride at California adventure. Get to the park at 9:45 am and they will let u in early. At 10 am make a mad dash for toy story. It is the best way to do this ride & not have to wait hours in line

The key to making it through this long line (and a steady shooting hand) is to stop by Bayside Brews and grab a beer before you get in line.

Enjoy the potato head. Make sure you shout loud "I love you Mr Potato head". Like this tip if you showed him love ❤️

It is very important to understand that in this game, your accuracy doesn't matter at all. Disregard the accuracy portion of the score screen, and shoot as fast as possible.

A fun 3D target-blasting ride, but I think I prefer the old school laser tag feel of Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters in Disneyland.

Expert solo strategy: In between shooting the hens, there are two pigs above the hen house, each worth 100 points.

People say to go during the world of color show... They're totally right.. Make sure you go during or right after the last show

Stop to get a cup of beer before waiting in line. Cools you down while waiting in line in the stuffy room. You might even tolerate the annoying kids next to you with the neglecting parent.

On army level, go for the plates that shoot up, alien level, get all the guys down on the space ship and it takes off. Last level get the bats on top

Look for characters around the bottom and side edges that are worth a bunch of points and sometimes are the key to opening bonus points.
