TP Daniel Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 I much prefer the normal theme music as I think it builds up the excitement very well. I can however see why this is happening. I think more of the people going will prefer the chart music than theme music. Quote
electricBlll Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 I don't mind chart music on the entrance, the dome or pathways. It adds life, even if you hate the songs! They will not so it for their themed rides, though, as that would ruin the point of a theme park, wouldn't it? It is a plus that they still play some end of day music, however. Quote
Mattgwise Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Nope, I don't like the idea of this. It is not a fairground, it is a Theme Park. I would want the normal theme music back, or at least play it on the bridge. Quote
Dan9 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Things like this is what slowly turns a theme park into a... *shudders*...amusement park. Quote
James Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 Thorpe is a theme park, therefore it should have its own soundtracks. The entrance theme fits Thorpe perfectly, theme parks are supposed to be about magic and escapism. What escapism do you get from hearing the crap that you hear in Asda or on The Hits?The unfortunate thing is, the majority of people who visit Thorpe happen to be into all that sort of stuff so all they're doing really is appealing to their audience. It's a shame they're ruining the atmosphere by doing so. Quote
MikeyT Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 ^ Haha spooky, our first paragraphs were eerily similar!I do agree, although as I said in the poll topic, it oddly enough works at Thorpe. Quote
StevenVig Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 People are saying that the Entrance Music is there to build up excitement and escapism. While this is all well and true, I feel that normal chart music will appeal to Thorpe's Audience.This Music will be the catalyst of getting people excited and 'hyped up'. Nobody really pays attention to the Entrance Music, unless your a fanboy/girl.Afterall, the internal Area/Ride Themes haven't been replaced, if anything those themes build the excitement and escapism more than the Entrance Theme.The Skyline from the Car Park creates excitement really well in itself anyway, for regular guests.

mleyden Posted March 20, 2010 Report Posted March 20, 2010 It's a shame to see the entrance music go, but I'm sure I will get over it. Let's be honest, it doesn't fit in with Thorpe's target audience or the new 'extreme' brand! As long as they don't start phasing out all the ride themes then I'll be happy. But let's not mention that - I can actully see Thorpe blasting out the Ace of Spades around the stealth area Quote
weeby-vuit Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Stealth has new music and Nemesis has had its music re-vamped a little (I think..!) Quote
Marc Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Stealth has the same loop it had last year too.. Quote
weeby-vuit Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Stealth has the same loop it had last year too..Does it...? I throught it sounded different from last year..!?! Quote
Marc Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Why would it need to be changed?! Dont see what more could be done.. Quote
StevenVig Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Why would Inferno's music need to be changed, the original music was fine. Quote
MikeyT Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 I honestly believe they have intentions of completing their original plans for the station audio in which the flute music would play during loading, then the dispatch theme would play via the original sensor and through the cannons. I believe the queue theme was put in there as a consolation, but the flute music returned this year in preparation.If it's not fixed soon then hopefully they'll just bring back the queue theme to the station.

themeparkmad Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 If it's not fixed soon then hopefully they'll just bring back the queue theme to the station.*HOPING*Nemesis Inferno is just not the same without its usual audio! Quote
Marc Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 Usual Audio? That was a silent station and then the dispatch theme when train was dispatched, was pretty neat! Quote
MikeyT Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 I remember when the ride opened that people were saying the ride needed a loading theme to play as the station was silent a lot of the time, especially on one train operation, which lead to a dull station atmosphere.Obviously the park tried to address this but some silly billy broke the link Quote
Mark9 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 I remember when the ride opened that people were saying the ride needed a loading theme to play as the station was silent a lot of the time, especially on one train operation, which lead to a dull station atmosphere.Obviously the park tried to address this but some silly billy broke the link They were fools frankly! The Dispatch theme cut right through that station perfectly and got everyone attention. When they started adding music to the station, Inferno just wasn't as good. Quote
Coaster XTREME Posted March 23, 2010 Report Posted March 23, 2010 No, no. Why must they play rubbish Chart music. I liked the original entrance theme, as mentioned earlier it really does scream amusement park . Quote
Ricky Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 No, no. Why must they play rubbish Chart music. I liked the original entrance theme, as mentioned earlier it really does scream amusement park .To be fair I think around 10K averaged on the day would say 'I liked the chart music' As chart music is in the chart for a reason. Its popular. I don't see Thorpe Park Entrace & Bridge Music number 1 Quote
Mark9 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 No, no. Why must they play rubbish Chart music. I liked the original entrance theme, as mentioned earlier it really does scream amusement park .I personally love it. There's enough themed music in the park, the chart music sets up the park as a fun, care-free day out. Theme music in an unthemed area just doens't connect together. Quote
thorpeparkjunkie Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 The entrance music was fantasic! Really added to the excitment and suited THORPE PARK very well!I can see why THORPE PARK are playing chart music instead of the entrance music because it appeals to most people visiting the park and it is an unthemed area however I miss it and want it back!

noob230 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 Can anyone tell me where the Colossus BeatBed is played?The Colossus Theme is played around Colossus and there's weird sort of chains-clinking music in the station but thats all I've ever heard being played. Quote

Paul Posted March 30, 2010 Report Posted March 30, 2010 The beatbed track was for a time played in the station. Quote
