Sea world orlando has some pretty good soundtracks for their rides. But one that stands out is the incredible hulk coaster at islands. After the refurbish, it has one of the most epic scores on a ride I've been on.
With the In the Hall of the Mountain King at Alton Towers, IMAscores integration is incredible and the way they mixed it into the Wicker Man soundtrack is probably my favourite to date, although the Smiler is very clever as well
My favourite is the Kulgheim and Taron soundtrack. It's so unique and immersive, it reminded me I had to sharpen my axe when I got home... And I don't own an axe!
great video, as always! i know a lot of people find it annoying or creepy, but i love it’s a small world, it makes me so happy!! it was the first ride my parents ever took me and my brother on, and ever since it’s been the first ride i do whenever i go to the magic kingdom :) it’s just happy music to me haha
I kinda want to get into this as a career. I love how music seems to have such a subtle effect in parks to those unaware but really doesn't. Cool video.
Theme park music is always an interesting topic. So many varieties and even genres out there. Almost like film music in a way, given its intending to set a mood or atmosphere.
I love my home park’s music; Efteling. From what I’ve seen and heard from Alton Towers, they have great music too. Both theme parks have vekoma madhouses with amazing music.
Love this video! Sadly no mention of the Efteling. They have inhouse producers that produce the greatest soundtracks. I say that because I am biased, ofcourse. You will know once you visit the Efteling :) A ride is never complete without music
When I think of amazing theme park music, I think of my home park Efteling. Great music often made in house. Ranging from annoying themes like Carnival Festival to really cinematic and great music like Villa Volta. Background or foreground. Hearing is one of the five senses that will be stimulated when you visit the park.
Alton Towers has some epic music. Their coasters in general are really well-themed, and for me themeing is what turns a good coaster onto a great one. The music for Hex, Duel, Nemesis and Oblivion are particular highlights for me.
Valhalla at Blackpool has been shut for a couple of years while they refurbish. It had such a good theme song, I sometimes got Skyrim mixed up with it.
Great video! 👍 Sound design never gets the recognition it deserves as being fundamental to the human experience. Music = emotion. I particularly love works like the Smiler theme because they are a masterful balancing act... it's incredibly difficult to create music that's _unsettling_ but not disturbing or annoying, because you still want people to enjoy the ride experience at the end of the day! Give me a twisted circus tune or a warped children's rhyme any day over a saccharine-sweet Disney theme! 👌😎 (and 'It's a Small World' is one of the worst earworms out there... I'm going to be singing it for days now, cheers for that! LOL)
I feel like theme park music can be categorised with music from films and games. Some theme park music can be really cinematic and set the mood perfectly.
Nice video :) I do wish IMAscore would take more "risks" with their audio, add a bit of complexity. Musically, their tracks are pretty safe and simple, they use very basic western chords and stuff. I think this is the cause of why some people think IMAscore music sounds the same though - because it is so "safe". That said, their music is also always a crowd-pleaser and they do make very good music :)
It's an interesting point but I'm not sure if IMAscore get to choose if they take risks or not. They'll work to the brief given to them by clients. If their clients ask for the same kind of thing constantly, that's what they'll deliver. IMA can definitely make unique music if given the chance to :)
Before watching the video i can say that it is almost definitely cheaper to hire a composer (who does sound design for movies for example) only known to that insular music world (everyone knows the star wars theme, but how many people have heard of John williams?) as opposed to already famous songs.
This video pretty much answered the question about how theme park music is made in theme parks like Lotte world, South Korea. No one ever reviewed about the attraction's background music, which is a important factor of the ride. (I could not forget the background music of the Intamin rollercoaster "Atlantis Adventure".)
@@coasterbot Just found the link of the sound track. But for some reason, I cannot post a youtube link here. Is there any way to solve it?(Every time I post you the link here, UA-cam blocks it.)😭
Hey Coaster Bot, i hope when the whole pandamic is over you'll be able to make a visit to Efteling, if you're ever planning to visit and would like a guided tour through the park i'd be so happy to accompany you and your party and share some of the facts known to the Dutch but unknown to the world. TBH i really like watching your videos and get that you need to upload regularly and i get that it is hard in at the moment but this video is like "i like cornflakes, here is how corn is made" sorry
The Efteling is on my bucket list of parks to get to very soon! Thanks for the offer that's very kind. I'm glad you like watching our videos regularly, I appreciate it. I'm not 100% by what you mean. Not a lot of people talk about theme park soundtracks, and even less discuss how they are actually made. I thought I'd be interesting to shed some light on this :)
@@coasterbot Luckily there's talks about more things opening up here too, so i hope you guys are able to get a visit in soon. :') Reading it back that didn't translate as well as i thought it would, haha. I meant that the video went into what theme park music is and how it's made, which was also interesting. But i kinda hoped that you'd go more in depth with rides and their own music or the differences between parks and how their music is made. how the systems work etc. But hey, who knows, maybe a part 2. :')
Energylandia has the same music playing as Alton Towers in the Zadra area! I am going to visit Energylandia in 2022, but Alton Towers I will not visit in this lifetime... (Life is too short to spend it in England, haha!) So "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" will remind me of Energylandia?
You're going to Energylandia and don't ever plan to go to Alton Towers!? I'm a little bit disappointed ha ha. It's strange that Energylandia would choose that music honestly, but each to their own! :)
@@coasterbot the soundtrack is the same in all the versions except Disneyland Paris, which was by John Debney (who also did the phantom manor soundtrack)
These are my 3 favourite things in life: Theme parks, Music, Coaster bot videos, math.
oh you’re here
Ello
haha nice pun
Maybe reconsider that last one LOL
Whoa thank you 👌
As a musician, thanks for this video because no one talks about theme park music
No problem, thanks for watching :)
Space Mountain de la Terre à la Lune, what a masterpiece of Disney's ride music
Sea world orlando has some pretty good soundtracks for their rides.
But one that stands out is the incredible hulk coaster at islands. After the refurbish, it has one of the most epic scores on a ride I've been on.
I haven't heard the hulks actually, I'll have to give it a listen :)
@@coasterbot Please Listen To Mako and Skull Island Reign of Kong.
I really need people to make more top 10 ride soundtracks videos. It's such an underrated aspect of the experience!
For sure! Soundtracks aren't spoken about enough!
I would absolutely love a video for this, and would watch the hell out of it multiple times for the algorithm.
With the In the Hall of the Mountain King at Alton Towers, IMAscores integration is incredible and the way they mixed it into the Wicker Man soundtrack is probably my favourite to date, although the Smiler is very clever as well
All of Alton Tower's IMAscore music is fantastic!
I love IMAscore!! They have great theme park music!
IMAscore are awesome for sure! :)
FIRST 5 SECONDS AND YOU MAKE MY EARS BLEED WITH THAT DAMN SONG WTH BRO!?!?
We need more cool soundtracks in more rides!
For sure!
Thoroughly enjoyed it, very glad to see this video back in its new glory😊
Thank you, means a lot my dude! :)
My favourite is the Kulgheim and Taron soundtrack. It's so unique and immersive, it reminded me I had to sharpen my axe when I got home... And I don't own an axe!
Yeah Taron's soundtrack is great! :)
love the klugheim and rookburgh soundtracks!
Same!
Wow! This is incredible. You definitely should do more interview sections in what is videos like park owners or ride manufacturers!
Thanks, that means a lot. I will definitely consider it :)
The Smiler soundtrack is the evil twin of the It's A Small World soundtrack. Period.
YES
YES
Oh. My. God. This works so well.
FACTS
Try the "Carnival Festival" soundtrack from Efteling, haha! A real ear worm, just like "a Small World" at Disney!
The Smiler sounds like something the Joker would enjoy
For sure
great video, as always! i know a lot of people find it annoying or creepy, but i love it’s a small world, it makes me so happy!! it was the first ride my parents ever took me and my brother on, and ever since it’s been the first ride i do whenever i go to the magic kingdom :) it’s just happy music to me haha
Thanks! It's a small world is a nice little ride, but I do find it repetitive and a little creepy after a while :)
Rip ride rockit needs a new playlist
I kinda want to get into this as a career. I love how music seems to have such a subtle effect in parks to those unaware but really doesn't. Cool video.
Thanks, best of luck with this! :)
Thank you so much!
Theme park music is always an interesting topic. So many varieties and even genres out there. Almost like film music in a way, given its intending to set a mood or atmosphere.
Definitely!
My favorite Theme Park Soundtrack is the Alton Towers Soundtrack! Because it makes the park more beautiful! But anyways, Happy Easter Harry!
The Alton Towers soundtrack is great. Thanks, I hope you had a good Easter too :)
I love my home park’s music; Efteling. From what I’ve seen and heard from Alton Towers, they have great music too. Both theme parks have vekoma madhouses with amazing music.

A ride is never complete without music
There's too many fantastic parks to mention music wise! :)
Villa Volta’s music has been voted on in an American poll as the best theme park soundtrack, if I’m not mistaken.
When I think of amazing theme park music, I think of my home park Efteling. Great music often made in house. Ranging from annoying themes like Carnival Festival to really cinematic and great music like Villa Volta. Background or foreground. Hearing is one of the five senses that will be stimulated when you visit the park.
My favorite ride soundtrack is the Disneyland Indiana Jones Adventure ride music. It really matches each room and makes it feel more intense.
Alton Towers has some epic music. Their coasters in general are really well-themed, and for me themeing is what turns a good coaster onto a great one.
The music for Hex, Duel, Nemesis and Oblivion are particular highlights for me.
Oh yeah Alton Towers music is awesome!
What an incredible video! Thank you for creating!
No problem, thanks for watching :)
Valhalla at Blackpool has been shut for a couple of years while they refurbish.
It had such a good theme song, I sometimes got Skyrim mixed up with it.
Small World is one of my fav disneyland rides.
Nice video .I love music in the theme parks
Thanks! :)

Very interesting, I've never seen things from the music producers perspective!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Very impressive, Harry! I really enjoyed this!
Thank you, that means a lot :)
The best soundtracks are the Klugheim ones because they're so dramatic!
Klugheim has some great soundtracks for sure!
Nice video :) I do wish IMAscore would take more "risks" with their audio, add a bit of complexity. Musically, their tracks are pretty safe and simple, they use very basic western chords and stuff.

@@coasterbot very true!
Interesting question! If only more rides had more music!
I wish more rides did too! :)
@@coasterbot Imagine if a ride like Maverick had music.... oh yeah!
One of my favourite theme park sound tracks is the Valhalla theme at pleasure beach I totally recommend it.
I can't wait to see the new Valhalla next year! :)
Hi coaster bot i love your channel
Thank you that means a lot :)
Quality video!
Very cool!
Thank you boss man!

Is this a re-upload or update, because I remember a lot longer interviews of these folk before, but it's been a while?
It's an updated version of an old video which better explains the benefits and creation of theme park soundtracks :)
This video pretty much answered the question about how theme park music is made in theme parks like Lotte world, South Korea. No one ever reviewed about the attraction's background music, which is a important factor of the ride. (I could not forget the background music of the Intamin rollercoaster "Atlantis Adventure".)
I'll have to listen to the soundtrack to Atlantis adventure, I didn't realise it had one! :)
@@coasterbot Just found the link of the sound track. But for some reason, I cannot post a youtube link here. Is there any way to solve it?(Every time I post you the link here, UA-cam blocks it.)😭
I love Galaxy's Edge! I guess we should follow that John Williams guy, seems really talented :D
It’s a Small World Never Leaves your head it always stays with you 🌍☀️🌈💕
Dodopa and Enjenika have the songs of their name
Splendid❤

IMAscore - Intamin of soundtracks
Except way more reliable!
@@coasterbot 😂
thx for that smolwurld song.
No worries 👌
Thanks, now it's a small world will be stuck in my head all day. XD
Oop
Energylandia has the same music playing as Alton Towers in the Zadra area! I am going to visit Energylandia in 2022, but Alton Towers I will not visit in this lifetime... (Life is too short to spend it in England, haha!) So "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" will remind me of Energylandia?

I saw a stop motion video of chess pieces coming to life set to In The Hall Of The Mountain King
What a unique video, not about coasters but I agree that it's a small world after all has got to be the worlds most anoying song.
I hope you enjoyed it and glad you agree! ;)
Carnival Festival Vs. It’s A Small World: the battle of annoyance.
WHY HARRY, WHY DID YOU RUIN MY DAY WITH ITS A SMALL WORLD
Which theme park music do you like the most?
I'm a big fan of Alton Towers' collect of theme park music because it's mostly unique and different! :)
Interesting
My dream is to become a theme park soundtrack composer, does anyone have any tips? Thank you!
But you didn’t use the version that’s actually used in small world... well except at the very end
For good reason 👀, and aren't they all slightly different anyway depending on which park the ride is in?
@@coasterbot the soundtrack is the same in all the versions except Disneyland Paris, which was by John Debney (who also did the phantom manor soundtrack)
My ears
How dare Edvard Grieg steal Alton Towers' theme music and claim it as his own.
I know I can't believe it
Fun video!!!😍👩❤️💋👨
Thank you :)
