JoshC. Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Personally, I've always thought the end of day music was a bit too Chessingtony, but it was still pretty good. But that is just, well, awful. Playing The Noise parkwide with just the odd announcement saying how the rides are now closed would be fine. The Noise itself is alright, it would fit in okay I think for when the rides are closed and wouldn't sound so intrusive.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon2000 Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 This noise just sounds like they are trying to get rid of guests as quickly as possible. Although the nice cheery guy on the jingle says 'we hope you have enjoyed your day at Thorpe Park...' etc etc It sounds to me more like 'Get the F out of Thorpe Park, our staff want to go home'. Not a nice, chilled end to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Oh my god Thorpe. Why. The end of day theme was so good. This is so...... fairground... I guess it was only a matter of time though tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideAddict Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 First they screw up the music as we enter the park. Now they screw up as you exit! Holy cow. Why the bloody hell they can't keep things simple I do not know! I demand to have the normal entrance music as I arrive and leave re-introduced immediately! I mean, this sounds like some sort of evacuation procedure. Anyone who thinks this is good is bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBobJones Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Somebody said to me last week when I was there that they loved the end of the day music as it was the first time they had heard it, I said they had good entrance music... now they have neither. On a busy day they should change the announcement to say "Queue time to get out of the car park is now 45 mins" dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Whoever thought putting a flipping siren on would sound good is bonkers. Some calm backing with something like "Thank you for visiting thorpe park, the ride queuelines have now closed. Have a safe and pleasant journey home!" followed by end of day or something would be alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything, from signage to announcements has become too "in yer face"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I don't think it's that bad. Sure its not as magical or dreamy as the old end of day music. But then again, that music never suited Thorpe in the first place. This is presumably more direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyMoo Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 They could at least remind you that you've got to pay for the car parking in the closing announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEALTHDAN Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Blimey looks like I'm the only one who actually prefers chart music at the entrance And this new end of day music is obviously making people leave a lot faster instead of dawdling along taking forever to leave! I prefer the old end of day music but I can see why they have one it and I don't blame them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they'll run to their cars instead of walk! And considering how much money Thorpe have pumped into The Swarm advertising, you'd think they'd theme an announcement around it, at least for a couple of years until they decide they want to change it again.

Coaster Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 That is absoloutley awful! How could they replace a great piece of music with that horrendous racket?!Thorpe... Marhelorpe, Matt 236 and dragon2000 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteknuckle Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 They might aswell build a few air raid shelters. Sounds like the Blitz dragon2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercameron98 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Not only is it terrible but it's incorrect IMO because the guy says the rides and attractions are now closed, when its only the entrances to the queues. They better change it back, I think we should all do a petition saying we want the old one back. Mattgwise, Matt 236 and Coaster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge2002 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 There was no end of day theme or sirens yesterday by the way. Not even the noise in the dome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noob230 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Does anyone have a download link for the old End of the Day theme? I remember there used to be one in the audio section but it's disappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoelPagett Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 In my opinion it sounds like an air raid siren, I am sure it would confuse everyone! Surely you should have some fast paced music to get everyone to leave but not air raid sirens *jumps under table*, It could even reduce some people to tears/hyperventilation!

Marhelorpe Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 On park right now and have a few updates regarding the park music: - Colossus is still high pitched. - Rush's queue line speakers are still silent. - Saw's queue line speakers are still silent (been like that for 2 years now). - X has a dead zone in the queue line with no music. - Lost City is once again playing Chart Music. *sigh* - Vortex is yet again playing Chart Music, no awesome theme tune. The thing that I'm confused upon is the fact that in early April and late March, Vortex and Lost City were playing their usual theme music which we all thought "Oh, Thorpe Park have finally fixed it." But now that it's back to Chart Music, what is going on? Can they decide whether to have Chart or Themed music playing? When I visited on April 2nd, Vortex was playing its themed music and I was very happy that it was, since I hadn't heard it for at least 2 years, plus it suits the ride a whole lot better. But today, its gone again. Not happy one bit. I don't have a problem with The Noise being played at Thorpe, I really don't. What I do have a problem with is that it plays on the rides, especially ones like Vortex who have one of the best soundtracks Thorpe has to offer. Keep The Noise to the entrance, dome, bridge and Neptune's Beach. Leave Lost City and Vortex alone Thorpe! pluk, dragon2000, SteveJ and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the lost city "ambiance" was playing in the area instead of the noise, I guess there much more likely to press it than when musics playing instead!

Mattgwise Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 And Slammer still gets interrupted by the Colossus music. Wasn't there recently an upgrade to the system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Slammer simply falls under the Colossus "area" which is why when theres nothing playing the Colossus theme will play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
