Universal Orlando Resort (USF, IOA, Epic) Discussion Thread

^Nope, that was a life long decision made by universal...haha. They will be able to change them.

[CorkscrewFoley]

Not really that bad of a selection of tunes. Still, would it kill them to trow in some Rick Astley?

[robbalvey]

While nothing really jumps out at me, I think this will be VERY popular with the general public (not the band!)

 

I for one will be rockin' out on my first ride to KC and the Sunshine band!

 

Just because...

 

What will you all pick for your first ride?

 

--Robb

[SharkTums]

Ugh, I don't know, I guess I was hoping for some Boy Bands or something a bit more 'younger pop'!

 

Nothing like rocking to Nsync while riding!!!

 

Too much Fergie and Black Eyed Peas, I mean seriously, how cheap must they have been to license!!??

 

For my first ride, I think I'll choose, ugh, I don't know...I guess Bring Me To Life?!?!

[RctInfinity]

I'll pick "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" by Daft Punk. For a second ride I'll probably choose "Bring Me to Life."

 

...Anyone else find it weird that there are two Beastie Boys songs and two The Crystal Method songs?

[robbalvey]

All I know is that if there is ever a fatality on this coaster they BETTER have been listening to "I Will Survive" just for the ironic nature of the whole thing.

Probably got a good deal when licensing the songs.

[SuperShawn]

^^ You were just dieing for a little New Kids on the Block weren't you Elissa?

 

I'd opt for Daft Punk as well.

[Wes]

Their genre groupings are weird.

[Jds03]

I’d definitely pick Keep Hope Alive by The Crystal Method. The beginning of the song is perfect for the lift hill. I can only imagine how awesome that would be while riding.

Frankly, I'm not a fan of Black Eyed Peas with fergie at all. Before she came, they hadan eccentric vibe to them--now it's lost.

 

If I were riding, my choice would be for some B-E-A-S-T-I-E. WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Something in the classic rock

[robbalvey]

C'mon! How could you even think of listening to anything OTHER than this amazing tune....

That song just SCREAMS "Non-Inverting Loop!"

[DerekRx]

I guess I'd have to go with "Kickstart My Heart" first followed by "Sabotage" and then "Rock Star". A wide assortment, but nothing that really jumps out at me as an "OMG, that song would be awesome to listen to on a coaster!"

[DiSab]

I'd likely go with some ZZ Top. Though there was a part of me hoping for some RUSH. (I wonder why )

[robbalvey]

Um...HELLO!!!!

 

No love for KC and the Sunshine band? C'mon!!!! That's the way uh-huh, uh-huh I like it!

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWf1MdHv80Q

 

I'm dissapointed there is even a list to choose from when CLEARLY this is the best choice.

 

--Robb

[DiSab]

^I won't lie, that'll probably be my second choice, and likely my dad's first. He had all of their albums, and probably still does somewhere in our house.

[holyblakbelt]

Devil Went Down To Georgia for sure. However there is a part of me wanting to use Pump It by The Black Eyed Peas.

Ugh...it could have been worse, they could have put in Lady Gaga...

[Cobra Commander]

What no Britney?

[PaulMartz37]

No no no no no

 

THIS screams "FLASHING LIGHTS! VERTICAL LIFT! NON-INVERTING LOOP!"

I'd like to see this as a poll

[Meteornotes]

No Final Countdown = Fail. So it's totally KC & The Sunshine Band for me!

 

I suspect that a lot of these songs are ones either owned outright by some Universal-owned company, or ones with an already existing/cheap licensing agreement. Which is why I also suspect why there are repeat artists.

 

At least the playlist isn't clogged with American Idol rejects and winners you've already forgotten about...

[thrillerman1]

Where are the indie rock choices? I guess I would have to go with the Beasties or Crystal Meth songs.

Now thatyou put it like that, I do love the playlist that they have on HRRR.

[Not For Sale]

I think they made a mistake. This was supposed to be included in the track listing.

[robbalvey]

^ Um, that's not KC and the Sunshine Band so...FAIL!
