 The battle between the cars comes to an end when Jay ( played by Will Smith ) appears on a giant television screen in Times Square , alerting the riders to " get their game faces on " because a " really big bug " has been found . Turning the corner , riders come face @-@ to @-@ face with Edgar , a gigantic cockroach @-@ like alien seen in the first film . The animatronic bug in the ride stands 30 feet ( 9 @.@ 1 m ) tall , measures 50 feet ( 15 m ) wide , has 8 @-@ foot @-@ long ( 2 @.@ 4 m ) teeth , and 20 @-@ foot @-@ long ( 6 @.@ 1 m ) claws . The bug is immune to the weak guns ' laser fire , so Zed orders the riders to press the much @-@ dreaded red button ( which activates the Subatomic Thermonuclear Disruptor ) . There is a small window of time when the button is effective , and every rider that presses the button during this window is granted a 100 @,@ 000 point bonus ( average first time riders will score about 40 @,@ 000 to 60 @,@ 000 points , without the bonus , while experienced riders with good aim will already be anywhere between 500 @,@ 000 and 900 @,@ 000 points ) . Both cars enter into the bugs mouth and spin out of control amid fog and strobe flashes .
