Roller Coaster Cameos in Music Videos

[DougMJr]

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

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.

Nice idea! The first one that popped into my head was Fairground by Simply Red

It's been a long off season. ALREADY.

Kidz Bop's Move Along was filmed at Dorney and features Steel Force.

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.

Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Over Georgia was featured in the Rolling Stones' video for Paint it Black.

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.

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers "Love Rollercoaster"

Jetliner at Grona Lund is shown in U2's "Get on Your Boots" video.

I was wondering if this would make the list.

 

great cover of a great song, with a fun RCT like video!

^But their guitars aren't even plugged in...for shame!

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

^ 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.

Seriously? Jay was in the army! How could he afraid of a tiny coaster like that! And I laughed so hard at Manny's GP comment.
