Best (and worst) "Sounds" on a coaster

[IwantRevenge]

EDIT: Ooh! I forgot one! I love the clicking sound of a B&M's lap bar or harness coming down.

 

Oh i like that a sound too, but since i [ul ldown my restriant before the trian locks, i don't get the hear it a lot.

[coasterguy618]

The sound Intamin woodies make over the hills when the upstop wheel hit the track a.k.a the Intamin Fart.

[steel]

Another one I forgot - the duck at Hesheypark (Some of you will know what I mean - think of Wildcat).

[maeryk]

Favorite?

 

Upstop wheels begging for mercy on woody airtime machines.. love that hrunggggggggggggggg g g g g g g noise as Phoenix hits the top of the hills..

 

 

Least favorite? The noise Talon makes. Or lack thereof. It amazes me how much they did to quiet that beast, after I heard what Great Bear sounds like.. and I'm torn between whether the ride is better, because it's silent, which lets you forget the ride more, or whether it's worse, because you don't get the "in the grip of a giant thrashing death machine" feeling so much.

The Intamin Fart

The B&M Roar

The anti-rollbacks on woodies

[shepp]

Yet another vote for the B&M roar. Gorgeous...

[Golfie]

I think we can all agree that everyone loves the B&M roar

 

I also like the sound of an Intamin ride Launching

[Jew]

Intamin fart. The B&M roar is so over rated.

[pvcoasterguy]

Worst:

 

The PTC squeal of death around tight turns. Lovely. Example: American Eagle.

 

Stand-up trains being reset for new riders. I can just imagine a person getting his balls murdered if he was on it. Example: Iron Wolf

 

People who click their seatbelt on B&M coasters 200 times in a row.

 

The sound Gerstlauer wood coaster trains make... it sounds weird, like a piece of plastic running against wood. It's just weird, and doesn't sound good.

 

Best:

 

Buzzbars

 

PTC trains on lifts

 

The weird sound Premier LIM's make

[CP_RULES]

I love a lot of coaster noises, particularly B:TR (@ SFStL), Mantis, Raptor, Ninja (SFStL) clinking off the lift, the roll back things on Screamin' Eagle, and the psssspsssssspsssssssspssssssspssssssss

sound Mr. Freeze's brakes releasing make right before launch. Also, I like the hum of any Intamin Rocket Coaster entering the magnetic brakes.

 

Sounds I dont like on a coaster...... ummmmmm........ I cant think of one.

PS- I also love the sound of woodies clanking (not the best word... they dont really clank) down the track.

[Spookbaby]

Ooh Ooh! I thought of another one I like! I like the clicking noise that Mr. Freeze at SFSTL makes right before it takes off!!!!

 

(Whoops totally didn't see the post before mine... but I'm glad that someone else like it too!)

[ECZenith]

I thought of one I DON'T like. You know those really old woodies that stay in an oval shape, like SFNE's Thunderbolt. The creaking of the panels on the cars as it goes through the 180s. Yo...

[Jon Sabo]

I just got to laugh at the term "Intamin Fart".

 

I still love working maintenance on the steel beasts and the sound is almost like music to my ears. I might need psychological help..lol

 

B&M roar rules! (aka Kumba's flatulence).

[Milkchan]

For people who do not know what some of the sounds are

 

-Top Thrill Dragster Launch- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9138737177506289240&q=Top+thrill+dragster

 

- B&M Roar-

 

- Hypersonic XLC launch and brakes-

 

- Arrow Lift and Brakes -

 

- Wooden Coaster Lift -

[weeow]

 

The sound I don't like is the constant "BANG! BANG! BANG!" of an old ride when it goes through turns... it freaks me out.

 

Oh man I love that sound!

[Jon Sabo]

Ahh!

Music to my ears!..lol

[IwantRevenge]

The sound Premier LIMS make when the charge, just that sound make you mroe nervious than the launch itself.

 

EDIT: The wiorst sound ever has to be the Intamin Fart, god i hate that sound.

[mike541x]

I got a couple more

 

Likes

SLC's lift

Op's"Dispatch"

Clicks of restrains going down

B&M roar

[TheKlockster]

Best sounds -

 

Top Thrill Dragster Launch

 

Tomb Raider: The Ride (PKI) Topspin - heard while standing next to the ride during operation.

 

Worst sounds -

 

Son of Beast's lifthill

 

Lift chain miscatch (on any coaster - primarily PKI Vortex)

[HCOSurfer90]

I love the sound of when an Intamin comes into its magnetic brakes, especially on Kingda Ka.

[Thrillrider15]

I know this might not be a coaster, but I like the sounds of a "New Generation Top Spin". It's that sound of when the ride allows the car to spin freely. That dry air gushing out. It's awsome.

[Jon Sabo]

I'm suprised this thread is still going..lol

 

Well, here is another one that I REALLY love.

 

Titan @ SFOG and/or Goliath @ SFMM

 

The brake calipers at the MCBR & ride end (and the rollback from the lift-sweeeet!).

[ParkTrips]

My favorite is the thud when someone is ejected from the train.

[IwantRevenge]

the sound a B&M makes when entering the station. You know that

clickclick clickclick Cachink sound.

[FeelTheFORCE]

I love the classic B&M roar, although most of the newer ones arent that loud. Tatsu was very quiet as was Silver Bullet, now I dont know if them being quiet has something to do with the temp., humidity, how long they are running, etc., but the older B&Ms seem to be louder, like Riddlers, Raptor, and Mantis are VERY loud all the time. I also love the smell of a wooden coaster.
