Music on Coasters

[linkinpark]

i was wondering... warner bros. is still associated with six flags, right... well, do they only play nusic videos form warner bros. records... it's a good possibilty but you people probably didnt notice

Actually, not fully. WB use to fully own SF. They lost it to premier parks and SF could only use looney tune and DC comic characters through contract. Thas when they painted over the WB symbol on the water tower at Gadv. Slowly, but surely they've become more and more connected with WB, who knows where it will lead.

I remember the timed B:TR and Chiller recordings--they really added to the experience. I also remember they played the soundtrack from one of the Batman movies in the station one time. I think that they should play that throughout the queue--there certainly are plenty of Batman soundtracks. As for the Chiller, they should play sound effects like water dripping and stuff (although that could get annoying, so maybe not). I saw the TVs on once at GASM, but they had a poor picture and no sound. But then again, how often is the GASM line out to the TVs anyway? Maybe they could show clips from the Batman movies in line for those rides.

At SF New England they are fairly consistent with music at certain rides. For example, Batman:TDK plays theme music throughout the queue most of the time, Flashback plays dance music (and occasionally songs from other genres that are upbeat), the Mind Eraser consistently plays 80's rock (plenty of Guns and Roses), and Superman: RoS sometimes plays the Superman theme song (typically when they open/re-open the ride). Also, some flat rides have timed voice effects too, like the bumper cars, which says "Howdy partner! (blah blah restraint blah blah etc" (it's in "Crackaxle Canyon").

Just this Sunday I was thinking of how feasible it would be to sneak music onto the coasters so I could listen while I was riding!!! An iPod with a cord running up my shirt connected to some small earbuds I could put on while going up the lifthill maybe. Of course, that wouldn't be good on rides where you bump your head, like Viper (unless they were cushy headphones, in which case they would probably help!).

[linkinpark]

um... wouldn't the cushy headphones break? think about it... it's like plastic so it's like not metal (which would also hurt)

[twistedrails]

you wouldn't even have to sneak the music on.........i see people with mp3 players all the time.....and the ride ops don't say anything to them

[linkinpark]

they should have speakers in the headrest and play music... that would be so awesome, kinda like rockin roller coaster
