EC! Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was just wondering what all your favourite theme park soundtracks/Theme Music is? Like for example I love this roller coaster soundtrack on Euro Mir: and I love Samurai's soundtrack too! So what are your favourite theme park soundtracks, they can be a general theme park track like the one they play at towers street or one off a flat or coaster, you could even say which one you hate! I just want to know because I feel a soundtrack really sets the mood and atmosphere for the ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamminGamer Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I really like most of Alton Towers music. I don't why but I really enjoy it Particularly the soundtracks for Duel, Air and Oblivion. Also I will rave in the X queue line forever more, been dancing to that ride since 2011 XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I love the ambient music on Swarm's island; absolutely amazing Also a big fan of some of the stuff that Inferno used to have for Fright Nights. X's music last season was really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benin Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Also everything at Efteling... And Silver Star <3 There's not many dedicated ride themes that aren't very good or don't suit the overall atmosphere of the ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hands down and by a mile.... HEX! Hex is definately my favourite themepark soundtrack, because of the dramatic and immersive feel of the music, how it starts off with a build up in strings and voices whispering and then the main theme entering, which gradually increases in dynamics and intensity and builds up to a climax point and once it reaches full volume, it suddenly dies down with a sudden but dramatic ending. I remember hearing this piece for the first time I went on a Hex, was mad about it for weeks and kept playing it all the time after visiting. It sounds a lot like something from film/television, which is one of the reasons that makes it such a brilliant soundtrack. Honourable mentions, 1/ Colossus theme, the recurring main theme, complex use of different rhythms and influence of urban and eastern music mixed together make for a very interesting soundtrack that also relates to the surrounding theme of a lost city. 2/ Nemesis theme, the sinister melody along with its spiky string and distorted guitar accompaniments definitely work to help to create the tense mood for the ride. 3/ Mystery Of a Hocus Pocus Hall I have to confess, I haven't actually been to the park when this was used, but from the soundtrack available online, it sounds fantastic. Definitely a magical , immersive and atmospheric piece of music that reflects the mysterious story line of the attraction's Halloween form very well and definitely sounds very Danny Elfman like in style, almost as if it came from a Tim a Burton film.

OldFarmerDean Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Just thought of this one... Always looked forward to this music at the end of the day aha! don't think it's played anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 ^ It's still played on the exit station really quietly on some knackered old speakers - it used to be played in both stations loudly though. OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 Most Disney stuff but California's Pirates bayou and cavern scenes and Space Mountain's station and onboard audio stand out. The last one mainly for how loudly its played. Splash Mountain's is good but its origins are a tad tarred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Splash Mountain's is good but its origins are a tad tarred. Most Disney films of that era have some form of un-PC thing, like the Crows from Dumbo, King Louie from Jungle Book and the Indians from Peter Pan... It's what was acceptable at the time, and whilst times have changed, it's a shame Disney buried Song of the South the way they have, because it would be an interesting film to watch and comment upon...

Cal Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDf9p4Lrw-M I think it goes well when you are watching it from the floor and you can hear it I prefer the current theme if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Original soundtrack? Original? Nah that's the one which lasted two years before they reverted back. Far prefer black hole music, then again it's probably leaving us in a months time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 When I think of theme park soundtracks...I think of De Magische Vallei at Toverland! ...not to mention D'wervelwind as well! Seriously...where would the world of atmospheric music be without IMAscore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Chiapas has a fantastic array of themed music... Truly amazing... Also, Europa's general theme music is really good too... Doesn't seem to get much love that soundtrack... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
