May 20, 20169 yr comment_235089 Now we just wait for the full DBGT soundtrack to be uncovered and posted somewhere
May 22, 20169 yr comment_235223 Stealth today was occasionally blasting out an advert for Ministry of Sound events... in 2013! Including special packages with an overnight stay at the Crash Pad. Um?
May 23, 20169 yr comment_235230 Last Sunday all the speakers in the bush bbq playing chart music sondes terrible and tinny, yet the week before they were all fine
June 29, 20169 yr comment_237599 How long have the park been playing the pop music park wide at park close? A video is shown on the facebook page of Colossus station playing pop music after 6 and comments of it being park wide at ride close. Never noticed it on my visits this year.
June 29, 20169 yr comment_237600 For too long. At exactly park close on the dot, chart music takes over any area covered by Park Wide Sound, including (unfortunately) some ride platforms. As many rides don't actually cease operation for the day for a good half an hour after the park's closing time, unfortunately guests are subjected to this sudden takeover. Watch this space though.

By watch this space do you mean a return to the end of day music? If so that will be great
June 29, 20169 yr comment_237604 I've actually not had a problem with chart music taking over the park after park close, but do think it is a bit sudden it happening dead on park close. 30-45 mins after park close would work a lot better in my opinion.

June 29, 20169 yr comment_237606 Well whatever you have been doing recently on park, you have done some very positive things Guess we shouldn't ask for two much, but a return of the original 10 minute entrance theme at the entire entrance area would be a treat too.

July 5, 20169 yr comment_238009 The trouble with soundtracks for Merlin rides is that each ride seems to just have one or two pieces of audio in them (queue line / ride area and station). That in itself is not enough to warrant a CD in my opinion. So if they were to sell any soundtrack, they'd have to do a whole park (or area, at a push) CD. But given the various different people / companies behind all the different pieces of audio, I imagine that'd be difficult to sort out. It wouldn't go a miss having any Merlin park sell some of their ride music, but I can't see it happening any time soon, more for logistical reasons.
July 7, 20169 yr comment_238129 Here is me hoping the end of the day theme comes back really have missed it.
July 21, 20169 yr comment_238733 Does anyone have a copy of the Nemesis Inferno station loading loop? It plays before the dispatch music & it's a clip of fire burning and ambient volcano sounds.
July 25, 20169 yr comment_238929 I know the music you mean. I've heard a lot more over recent years, was that part of the original soundtrack?
July 25, 20169 yr comment_238936 Just on the subject of Park Music - another thumbs up for Thorpe at MOS, they had relevant dance music playing around park for the evening part - made a real difference.
September 13, 20168 yr comment_241327 What's happened to them using the entrance music (old and new) at the park entrance? On my visit last week it was playing chart music again
September 13, 20168 yr comment_241328 Been playing chart music since at least the start of the Summer holidays, well at least on all my visits. Just as we thought we were possibly getting further enhancements to music across the resort. Although saying that I didn't like the repetitive use of Thorpe theme/Quantum music alongside the video. It only used about a minute of the full entrance theme track.

Having the entrance music playing at the park entrance and across the bridge, and then chart music in the dome would be much better IMO.
September 13, 20168 yr comment_241332 The Colossus soundtrack was playing on Samurai, Slammer, Vortex, Rush, Zodiac and Quantum on Sunday. Everywhere you go in Lost City it plays and it gets very very annoying after a while of being in the area. Some individual ride music would be nice for a change instead of the standard 9 minute loop that should only be played on one ride..

All rides in the Lost City (bar Colossus) share the exact same music to avoid any clashing. This is assumedly why the area now has a shortened version of the Colossus music playing, because the parts that were cut out are used on Vortex and Quantum; both rides literally having their music blasting out the speakers at full volume, so these parts were cut out to avoid any clashing. Saying that though, I do agree with your point about it being very annoying. What was wrong with the old Lost City ambience I hear you ask? Well I'll have you know I'm asking that exact same question.

Think there are issues with the system again as those rides should still play individual themes and actual area speakers play the shortened Colossus theme. Additionally on my last visit a week and half ago Colossus queueline was playing the station music.

Not an issue as such these rides and the ones mentioned above (Slammer - Samurai) all have their own ride themes - they will play the areas music (in this case colossus theme) if the rides local music isn't playing - you'll notice on Samurai / Slammer if being loaded slow at the end of the loading themes the area music will then play. Colossus station is also fixed now! think that's how it works!
