Meteornotes Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 ^I suppose "exciting" is a good word for that. I'd also suggest "the most frightening thing ever" or "I was easily able to hear the upstop wheels hitting the track, since my heart stopped beating at that point". dt
RideofSteel Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 Bombora's lift has a pretty cool screech to it, even before the train gets onto it. The dispatch horn for Bombora is really cool too!
The Yeti Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I love that high-pitched noise you hear when cars advance in stations... you hear it on USF's Mummy for example, and a bunch of other rides... Good call! I like that one, too! It really sounds eerie on RoTM! I like the B&M roar, but when standing close it can be a little loud for my liking...but hearing that noise entering a park is always a welcome sound. Along the lines of roars, I think Mr. Freeze actually has a pretty good sound when it runs. The sound pre-fabs make while delivering airtime is pretty cool as well from what I gather on videos, but I've never heard it in person!
3Mutts Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 The B&M roar and the sound that Intamin prefabs make when they crest hills.
alpengeist04 Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 For me, 1. Intamin fart 2. B&M roar 3. Intamin launch
B&MIntaminGCI Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 The winding down woosh noise that Kingda Ka makes when it hits the magnetic fins. The screeching from Rolling Thunder is a nifty sound. As well as the roar from Chiller when it was still there, it was loud as heck and you could hear it everywhere.
UrbanLegend Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Actually, the lift motor of SLCs is pretty cool. Definitely unique. That's pretty much the only good thing about them.
BenFreeze Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I love the sound of a train launching on Premier's LIM coasters.
thrillrideseeker Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I love the whine of Top Thrill Dragster/Kingda Ka launching. And love the sound when they hit the break run. ~Matt
Jew Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I'm partial to the sound of the LIM's firing on Mummy @ USH.
BigDipper 80 Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 I've gotta throw in my vote for Arrow's lifts. Such a distinct anti-rollback sound.
eddie200330 Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 The clunk of the lift chain disengaging as the train crests the top.
ajfelice Posted November 6, 2012 Posted November 6, 2012 PTC trains disengaging from the lift hill. Particularly on Ravine Flyer II (being able to stand pretty close and being there everyday makes it stick out). I love hearing the anti-rollbacks going from steady and consistent to increasingly faster and louder. Some other favorite sounds: Arrow Lifts Phantom's Revenge's second drop listening from the station B&M Roar when they don't dull it down too much Older wooden coasters hitting anti-rollbacks throughout the course Son of Beast's lift hill was epic
JonnyRCT3 Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 Everything Top Thrill Dragster -Catch car engaging. -Air pressure releasing when brake fins drop -Engine Roar -Intamin cable winding
Kyle Coleman Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 That signature b and m roar especially the the extra loud one on the hulk.
RangaOnACoaster Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 When a coaster hits the mag breaks. It sounds like god's plumbing
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Montezooma's launch. "Clear, dispatch" KERCHUNK WHOOOOOOOOOOSH *hiss*
deathbydinn Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 - The chugging sound Whizzer makes, especially on the high speed trains. - The roar of a wooden coaster running over the track as well as the sound (sometimes) made as the train smashes into the brakes.
thrillrideseeker Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Everything Top Thrill Dragster -Catch car engaging. -Air pressure releasing when brake fins drop -Engine Roar -Intamin cable winding This.
Arrow Dynamics fan Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 I like the machine gun like sound that comes from a B&M Inverted coaster, to this day, I like to pretend hold my handles out like I'm a complete nut case and laugh while going up the lift hill. I like the B&M whoosh sound as well from the older models. Naturally, I also like the Arrow's lift hill sound. Least favorite, the sound that a Boomerang makes when it is pulling you forwards after going through the ride once (and before anyone questions this it has nothing to do with the fact that I don't like these coasters, it just sounds like a jammed can opener).
ViperLover Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 1. Arrow Lift Hills 2. Old Woodie Anti-Rollbacks 3. CCI Coaster Brakes 4. SLC Lift Motors 5. The Screechy Sound when an Arrow Coaster goes through a Corkscrew.
rolercstrluvr Posted June 12, 2013 Posted June 12, 2013 *Bump* but my favorite coaster sound or at least one of them has to be the sound of Gold Strikers lift motor and the sound of the train wooshing by.
