Samuel Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I've always enjoyed the old school sounds and overall ambiance of Kennywood's Thunderbolt. The classic lift, clicking anti-rollbacks on the crests of the hills, and cantankerous-sounding NAD trains ripping through the bowl section are memorable parts of the Kennywood sensory experience. In 1996, pre-trim Mantis sounded like the most intimidating coaster on the planet. I didn't know much of Kumba then, but I remember being in awe of the powerful presence Mantis commanded through its deafening whoosh. The aura of each train disengaging the lift, teasing a low hum on the turnaround as though the whole ride is waking up, and then just ripping its signature bellow at the bottom of the drop left me speechless at a time when there wasn't much like it. Sticking with Cedar Point, I love heading up the first hill on Millennium Force and hearing the "da-dum-da-dum-da-dum-da-dum" as the train speeds up in the middle of the ascent. That sound and the extra oomph do a great job at building suspense, and I usually see at least one apprehensive/first-time rider per visit who wishes they could squirm back to the station when it happens! Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveDowning Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Intamin LSM. I love the Cheetah Hunt launch sound. But my favourite must be Taron. Short video: But it´s much more audible in this pov, especially the second launch. Especially when your not on the coaster, it´s also incredibly loud and adds a lot of atmosphere to the area.
