Mineralex140 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Annoying ride songs make a ride bad. My most annoying ride song is small world. What's yours.
larrygator Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^Nothing is more annoying, but a close second to me is the EuroMir song. I am now hiding as some of you throw tomatoes.
cfc Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^ a close second to me is the EuroMir song. I am now hiding as some of you throw tomatoes. Nothing tops "It's a Small World After All" when it comes to being annoying. Then again, there are those tunes they play in the queues for Eejanaika and Dodonpa at Fuji Q. They cease their ability to amuse after the first hour or so.
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I find the Space World song more annoying than It's a Small World. Since they play it on Titan Max, it counts as a ride music I guess.
KBrylczyk Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^Nothing is more annoying, but a close second to me is the EuroMir song. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Do spiels count? I so I vote California Screamin'. The actual onboard audio is great but the constant NPH station narration is awful.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 One Little Spark. Not quite as much of an ear worm as Small World or Euro Mir, but once it's in your head, it'll be there for a while.
Anac0nda Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 As a former ride-op, I can confirm that 12 consecutive hours of just about anything can annoy you. However the king was Kotkot at Linnanmäki (yes, the egg ride). It has a theme that drills into your head around 500 times per day, but it's specialty is that it clearly has a beginning and an end. Every time it ends you silently wish it somehow didn't start again...
Ed Farmer Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It's not so much a song, but the station spiel on Great America's X-Flight makes me happy that B&M's eat people- thusly abbreviating the time spent waiting in the station listening to said horrible spiel. There would be a sizable increase of people stabbing themselves in the ear at Great America if X-Flight had the PPH of Deja Vu (for example). What an awful spiel.
The Yeti Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 While Small World is the obvious choice, I'm really not a fan of the song on One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Also, I don't know if it's changed since I was there about 5 years ago, but Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit's queue had some of the dumbest, most annoying videos and songs (maybe it was just videos) in its queue that I've ever endured. While calling out Universal Orlando resort, I've got to say they're home to some of my favorites: Jurassic Park and Harry Potter. Of course, those were original scores for movie soundtracks...so that's not too fair. I'll go ahead and throw in that I don't care much for Disney songs from their cartoons, so Under the Sea (Little Mermaid) is up there. Splash Mountain, while not a Disney cartoon, has some great music though.
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^ Agreed! Zip-a-Dee-do-dah has the magic of turning even the worst days of my life happy again.
KBrylczyk Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^ But then you jump in line for Small World.
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 ^ But then you jump in line for Small World. I imagine all the dolls are zombies to get over that ride.
Picto81 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I remember queuing for The Smiler for 3 hours and listening to that "wah wah wah, wah wah wah, wah wah wah wah wahhh" over and over and almost going mad. I don't think i'll ever forget that tune. Not sure it will be back when it re-opens next year. Definitely the most annoying in my opinion. The ride more than makes up for it though.
Johnlloyd Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 It's not really a ride song but, the new ride safety procedure announcement on rides at Dorney Park is annoying. It sounded like a really bad rap to me! What was wrong with the old automated voices that I heard in videos from previous years? During my two day visit for the first time at Dorney Park back in June, the "ride safety rap" kind of got annoying but, other than that, the park had an amazing collection of rides and roller coasters!
DoinItForTheFame Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 As much as I love Top Thrill Dragster, hearing "From the roof top shout it out.... BABY I'M READY TO GO..." What seems like every 30 seconds gets really old, and really annoying... really fast.
RaceBoarder Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 As much as I love Top Thrill Dragster, hearing "From the roof top shout it out.... BABY I'M READY TO GO..." What seems like every 30 seconds gets really old, and really annoying... really fast. Meh... I love me some Republica.... But I liked the song long before I ever cared what TTD was, ha ha.... Stadium Anthems FTW!
DirkFunk Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I would never willingly subject myself or others I know and love to the "its a small world" theme song divorced from the ride. Ever. Ever. I would be honestly surprised if it hadn't been used as psychological warfare either at Waco or in Guantanamo Bay.

It was waterboarding before waterboarding was even a thing Although we did get this as a result: [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]
viking86 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 One thing I learnt during my trip to WDW earlier this year is that if Robb asks if you have been on "It's a small world", just say yes, even if you haven't been on it. I made the grave mistake of saying no, and from that point I had no choice, I was immediately forced to go on it. At least I managed to avoid Hall of Presidents...
boldikus Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I don't have a "most annoying ride song" but I can tell you my favorite station music!
Meteornotes Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Small World. This isn't even a contest. dt
Awesomefaceninja7 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 For those who don't know what the Smiler theme is:
rcjp Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 As much as I love Top Thrill Dragster, hearing "From the roof top shout it out.... BABY I'M READY TO GO..." What seems like every 30 seconds gets really old, and really annoying... really fast. When I first heard it it seemed pretty cool but yeah, after a while it got really really annoying (especially as every second you spend in TTD'd station is in fear the ride will go down )
