DougMJr Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) I thought this thread might help curb off-season boredom and potentially introduce everyone to some new music! I have come across a few music videos that feature cameo appearances by roller coasters and have listed them below for your listening/viewing pleasure (although not all the songs are very good). Manhattan Express Makes an appearance at 2:55 in Will Smith's, "Getting Jiggy With it," video. Dragon Coaster at Playland plays a major roll starting at :28 in Mariah Carey's "Fantasy." Silver Bullet (1:44) and Xcelerator (3:04) appear in Sun's - Fancy Free. Giant Dipper at Belmont Park appears at 0:40 in Dada Life's "Rolling Stones T-Shirt." [Kinda NSFW] The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is the backdrop for "Fairground," by Simply Red. The Coney Island Cyclone appears throughout Beyonce's "XO." Soarin' Eagle and Tickler can be spotted at 0:20, Steeplechase can be seen at 1:04. Similarly, the Coney Island Cyclone and Tickler appear thoughout Wye Oak's "Holy Holy Holy." Wild One appears at 1:39, Joker's Jinx at 2:12, and Batwing at 2:16 in Jessie McCartney's "Body Language" featuring T-Pain ^Spotted by gerstlaueringvar Six Flags Over Georgia's Great American Scream Machine is featured throughout The Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]^Spotted by simaticable Dorney Park's Steel Force, Hydra: The Revenge, and Thunderhawk, appear throughout the Kids Bob Kid's cover of "Move Along" my the All American Rejects. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]^Spotted by YoshiFan If you know of any other music videos with appearances from roller coasters please share them! I will add to this first post periodically to create a "playlist" of sorts. Edited January 2, 2014 by DougMJr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoshiFan Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Kidz Bop's Move Along was filmed at Dorney and features Steel Force. http://www.kidzbop.com/video/player/121 Obviously not a fan of Kidz Bop but I found out about it years ago on a Dorney fan site when someone asked why camera crews were at the park.

805Andrew Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Ok, this isn't a real roller coaster, but it features a cartoon roller coaster that looks like a cross between an Arrow multi-looper and an older hyper coaster.

KrakenKing Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 30 Seconds To Mars' video for "Kings & Queens" features the Santa Monica Pier (w/ Coaster) at 6min. There are tons of other videos that feature this iconic pier, too. This is just my favorite of the bunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aceattack52 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 ^ Sanata Monica Pier is actually in a lot of media. I saw it just last night in modern family. They even went on the coaster. I think there are a few other music videos with the pier also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
