StevenVig Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I am in love with the Parkwide Swarm Intermissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jom222 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Does anyone know when the entrance music was made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Quite a while back. It was one of Ian Habgood's compositions so it was around the same time as Colossus and Air. At least 10 years old now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 The entrance music was playing yesterday, but a slightly improved version! Also the Colossus music was the same theme but faster and a slightly higher pitch.I think that these changes are good, and I am SO GLAD that the entrance music is back!

Also the Colossus music was the same theme but faster and a slightly higher pitch. Everything is played in a higher pitch, I have a feeling this isnt deliberate though. I think someone might've messed it up a little when programming the swarm intermissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stokesyboy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Also on Thursday did anyone hear what they were playing at Colossus? Same naff chart music really really bad music, then it stopped and went back to the main theme! But it sounded horrible when they had the other stuff on!

Stokesyboy Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 Whatever it was it was horrible, worst decision ever if they are starting to play that, ruined the queueline experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 It was most probably Spice Girls or Steps, its been happening alot recentlyDon't diss. There were some "happy" songs like Spice Girls added into the PA system of some rides last year to keep staff motivated towards the end of the season.... most of them haven't been taken off yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyMoo Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 The musc on loggers was playing slightly too fast on Friends and Family day - so much so that my mate was convinced they were cover versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteA Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I will concur with everyones comments about the old entrance music returning. It's so much better than the generic *pop* *chart* music from the last couple of years.I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Just as I was listening to the entrance music in anticipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Entrance music was only for Premier Screaming. Chart music is back but sadly is still played in large areas of the park including the Flying Fish and other rides. Not my preference for the park but I actually don't mind it at Admissions.I just wanted to make a comment that I've noticed that a lot of park audio bleeds into other areas now which never used to happen. If I'm being honest I've not properly enjoyed Thorpe's audio since the 2006 season where it was at the top of its game and then has since gone downhill in my view.

Coaster Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 BOO, it was much better walking in to the sound of their entrance theme than music that you can listen to anytime!(Well you can listen to the entrance theme online but you know what I mean...)

StevenVig Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I think the park need to have someone sit down for a day and completely reorganzise and reprogram the link, it will cost them next to nothing and will really improve the system as a whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
