gerstlaueringvar Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Hi everyone. After watching some amazing POV's of coasters with amazing on-ride music and background music, I am really curious to know what's your favorite on-ride music and background music. Post a video of it if possible, thanks! My favorite on-ride music is California Screamin's My favorite background music is De Vliegende Hollander's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachclarke2 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I think I like Rock n Rollercoaster's soundtrack the best...it's got a few different versions and just seems very high quality and well done. While not an 'on-ride soundtrack' the music in WDW Space Mountain's star tunnel really fascinates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I like the music of Disneyland's Space Mountain--and the ambient sounds of the Magic Kingdom's version are pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) It's not music but a background noise you can hear. I always enjoyed when the train rolls back on Storm Runner as the magnetic brakes drop and you hear that voice say "Now get ready, here we go", then the train launches. My favorite music played on a coaster is probably California Screamin' Edited December 11, 2013 by Mrlittle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Onride, I liked all the Space Mountains. Also throw in for Euro Mir for its catchy German techno on the lift. Area music wise, Nemesis probably has the best instrumental/atmospheric theme, with Soarin' close behind. I've also had a thing for the polkas in line for the Matterhorn.

cfc Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 ^The Euro Mir tune will run through your head for days after you've ridden the coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccron10 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I kind of like listening to the pre-show songs for Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge at Hersheypark. I also enjoyed the station music for GASM at Six Flags Great Adventure. As for overall ride music, I really loved the selection of songs played in Maverick's station this past summer.

GoBears Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Favorite On-Ride: "Kickstart my Heart" on Hollywood RRR Favorite Background: "Ready to Go" at Dragster's station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Stratosphere Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Favorite On-Ride: Space Mountain Disneyland Favorite Background Music: Pre-Show music for Terminator 2: 3D (will get stuck in your head for days!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Favorite On-Ride: "Kickstart my Heart" on Hollywood RRR Now I know what I'm playing next time I ride! For me... Live carousel band organs. X2 - it gets criticized for its unreliability, but when it works, it adds a lot to the lift hill and brake run. Pre-launch revs on TTD - the sound effect enhances the overall psyche-out of waiting to launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Call me an oddball, but I really do enjoy the song for It's a Small World. I also love... REAL carousel music from a genuine band organ Millennium Force's station music (don't think it plays anymore) The soundtrack for Ghostwood Estate at Kennywood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrlittle Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Favorite Background: "Ready to Go" at Dragster's station I remember the first time I rode Dragster and it broke down. All we could hear was this song for the next 2 hours. I'm glad they do not play it over and over anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 On-ride music I like is California Screamin' and Space Mountain-Disneyland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I enjoyed all of those as stated in above posts. One I am fond of is the Led Zeppelin music @HRP even if the ride was not that great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcdude Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) I think almost any Disney attraction fits this category for me, but my favorites are... Ride Soundtracks: Roller Coasters: Space Mountain (Disneyland)-Fits the ride perfectly. The Ghost Galaxy soundtrack is also spectacular. California Screamin'-Just like Space Mountain, it really adds to the ride. X2-I'm not a huge fan of most of the soundtrack, but playing Enter Sandman while climbing up the lift is perfect. Non-Coaster Rides: Haunted Mansion/Holiday Mansion/Phantom Manor-Love all of these. In my opinion, the Haunted Mansion music is the best instrumental theme written for a Disney attraction, and the soundtrack for the holiday version is just really good. Indiana Jones Adventure-Yes, I know it is just a remix of the movie soundtracks, but I really like the music. Small World Holiday-I'm not a huge fan of the regular version of Small World, but love the Holiday version. It's probably because the music doesn't get on your nerves by the end of the 15 minute ride. Soarin' Over California-If there is a ride I'd call beautiful, it is this one. The music just fits the film perfectly. I'll be more disappointed by the loss of the music than by the loss of the film when the attraction gets upgraded in the near future. Background Music: Roller Coasters: Riddler's Revenge-It's a shame they don't play the music in here any more, but I always liked the song (at least I liked it significantly better than what is played at Full Throttle). Non-Coaster Rides: Ghost Blasters-The song is really catchy and goes well with the comic nature of the ride. Any Carousel with an authentic organ, as long as it isn't terribly out of tune Edit (to poster below me): Ecuador seems to be played intermittently now. I only heard it on one of my past four visits, and on that visit it was about 1/3 the volume it used to play. I did hear a loop that sounded the same as Batman's station music at one point, but that seems to have gone away as well.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) ^^Thanks for posting the audio to it, since I referenced the track earlier. Now we will get everyone hooked to ludicrously catchy German techno music! ^Ecuador was playing at Riddler's in October when I last went...did they just take it out? EDIT: Ah, okay. I just thought that was odd having heard it recently. Edited December 11, 2013 by MayTheGForceBeWithYou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I like Nitro's station music. It is the Mortal Kombat theme. For background music I like the music played at the entrance area to Future World at EPCOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRCT3 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 IMAscore. Period. I can't help but listening to their CD they gave me at the EAS (as long as a cool energy drink can with their logo ). They also did the ones for Krake, BlueFire, The Smiler and a few other. I also like the soundtracks from Efteling (Raveleijn, De Vliegende Hollander, Villa Volta). Check the dance remixes Efteling post on their , haha, this park is awesome!I enjoy Disney's musics as well, the classics like POTC or Phantom Manor, but also the new ones like Mystic Manor. Europa Park got some nice tunes, Euromir is awesome! Check this . Fluch der Kassandra, as long as Mystére (from the old laser show) are among my favorites as well.

Double0Kevin Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I've got to go with Screamin. If the Dick Dale track was still on Space Mountain that would be my fave, but it is not. I do like the new one, but it's not the Dick Dale song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Sadly there isn't a recording for it... but the onboard audio for Green Lantern at Movie World is really good. The pacing for the soundtrack matches the ride really nicely and just makes it that much better. Just wish it worked more frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
