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

Kickstart my Heart for sure, not dissin KC, because, KC does rock it rather hard, but I am a child of the 80s and still musically stuck there.

 

Flight of Icarus, The Trooper would be great songs on this ride as would Ride the Lightning, Breadfan, even some old Sabbath, say N.I.B, and perhaps some Judas Priest.... Freewheel Burning or The Sentinel???

 

There is a decent selection of music though, I would like to try a ride listening to each song.

[Ryancrash]

^If we're going for Maiden, it's gotta be "Aces High!" And if Priest was on there it would have to be "Riding On The Wind!"

[spaceace12]

KC would be second.

Charlie Daniels would be first.

 

I realy want to ride this now.

[rabid disney]

sabotage awesome song for a ride

[Moonchild125]

If they used Iron Maiden wouldn't Prowler be a good song?

[Erik Johnson]

I will pick either Midnight Rider, or Devil that Went Down to Georgia.

 

Geek Trivia: Anyone know what other coaster has a connection to these two songs already?

[doom1001]

Devil went down to Georgia would be my first choice followed by Pump up the Volume.I think the list is so-so and hope the song choices get changed frequently.

[CoryPa77]

I'm guessing these songs/artists are owned by either Universal or one of their labels (Interscope, Geffen, etc...) and that's how they came up with them?

[Eagle Rider]

If the Allman Bros are considered country music, consider me a country music fan.

 

Midnight rider for me.

[dylanuclear]

ohhh yes bring me to life <3<3<3

[gmoney422]

U Can't Touch This!!! I'm also bringing my MC Hammer pants to wear on the ride! Hope I don't get the huge crotch part caught in the restraints...

 

 

G "i'm touching 'this' right now" $

[Wes]

I'm guessing these songs/artists are owned by either Universal or one of their labels (Interscope, Geffen, etc...) and that's how they came up with them?

 

Some are, but some aren't. For example, Beasties are on Def Jam (Capitol), Daft Punk is on Capitol in the US, Finger Eleven and Cypress Hill are on some Sony subsidiary. I thought the same thing as you, especially because the list is kinda awkward, but I guess using only UMG artists wasn't an issue. Which of course makes their artist choices even more confusing.

[DiSab]

^^Hopefully the HammerPants won't cause too much drag that the ride valleys. Again.

[Bigben321]

No Michael Jackson? i mean like hes the king of pop but like i always wondered what Rollin would sound like on a roller coaster also they have stronger cant wait for this to open!!

[Wood Dragon 1988]

I think I'd pick Paralyzer.

 

The song list is such a great idea for the coaster. Consider me more pumped about that than the ride itself!

 

It makes it much more re-rideable...I know I would like to listen to 4 or 5 of those songs on the ride.

[stratamaster120]

DEFINENTLY "you cant touch this" by MC Hammer!!!!!

[dragsterfan420]

I'm goin' with "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". I have a question though. I imagine you pick one song per car or even train, wont that create alot of arguments among the people getting on the ride? I still don't know how this things gonna work.

[themeparkman25]

^Negative. Each person has a little computer on the restraints that allows them to pick their own song. Universal guarantees that each person will only hear the song they pick and not other peoples songs.

[dragsterfan420]

^Thanks. That's pretty interesting.

[King_K.]

Hm, I'd probably go with Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, than KC, then Devil went down to Georgia.

[woodythegr869]

I have been bustin my brains over KC and the Sunshine Band, Daft Punk and The Charlie Daniels Band. 3 songs that are just impossible to separate! Lol, guess i'll just have to experience all three......

 

But must admit i would of loved to of seen Aerosmith- Young Lust on the list. That song would of rocked on that!

[Trevor]

I think that the first ride for a lot of people will be with the default music. I've assumed that the first time in a coaster like that, with the 90º lift and with the sun in all the face, will be difficult to concentrate with the control panel before the drop....

[Guest]

Ok now I know why they put music on the train so that way you don't hear how loud the lift hill is.

 

[slither37]

HMmm, yes, Aces High would be a great Maiden song for the coaster, so would Prowler, but would that song go better on Prowler the coaster?

 

Of course, I will not be completely satisfied until there is Iron Maiden: The Ride. Could be like EE, only more intense and instead of Yeti, it is Eddie.All the while blaring all Maiden songs. Then next to it would be a coaster themed after Metallica, hey come to think of it, wouldn't a theme park about music be cool? I bet a good place for it would be in... oh I don't know.... Myrtle Beach?

 

Up The Irons!

[pianojohn]

Pump Up the Volume!

 

But, I WOULD prefer hearing one of the following:

Head Like a Hole NINE INCH NAILS
