Whoever gets to ride it this year, I envy you 1898 times ;)

Not just this year Matt, but in one months time today for opening :)

 

Music at parks is an odd one, sometimes the theme doesn't work on its own but works superbly with the ride and surroundings! The whole experience is key. We're just spoilt with all of ImaScore's work these days.

This seems similar to Flying Dutchman, very classical, very Efteling when you hear it in context... But outside of the ride/park it probably doesn't work...

 

The bit in the video sounds like the entrance music, rather than the queue/station...

It makes sense to the mining culture. As said in the video miners would spend time in the shafts whistling and making synchronized sounds in rhythms and beats to create music to help them work efficiently and stop them from getting bored, so its very traditional, but by no means is it a theatrical IMAScore piece, it seems much more relevant and discreetly down-toned.

 

I do like how they call water dummies white women. :3

It's very different. Mamba very much takes you up on the role of being a snake, turning tightly through amazingly excavated pits and holes, and it really throws you about like a snake moves. The theming on top is very much of an area inhabited by humans where similar snakes dwell, so it can very much be related in a tight manner to the name. Baron takes you on a thrilling experience. The ride experience itself may not be so relatable to the theming however the theming itself has been so carefully mastered it can be an attraction on its own.

 

The theming for black mamba is just there to compliment the ride, or vice versa.

The theming for baron, however, completely creates the atmosphere and story.
