[Fun] favorite ride soundtracks?

[bisforbrittney]

with the thread on ringtones being a hit and my own enjoyment of watching "ride views" on youtube, i recently realized that, whereas soarin' isn't my favorite ride (one i love, sure, but not my favorite), i like the musical score for it the best! i feel like i have the most ties to it; i actually get goosebumps and re-live my times riding it as soon as i hear that first crescendo.

so my question to you, micechatters, is which is your favorite song from a ride?

Indy. Nothing beats a great John Williams score.

This is easy. The Haunted Mansion by far!

Re: favorite ride soundtracks?

I put several tracks on my iPod and these have become my favorites:

1. it's a small world (Really! It's not as repetitive as it can seem to be on the ride.)
2. Pirates (the track I have is an old version, via YouTube, that I think pre-dates the political correcting as well as Depp)
3. Haunted Mansion (Much more repetitive than it seems to be on the ride.)
4. Tiki Room
5. Space Mountain (current)
6. Splash Mountain
7. Space Mountain queue music

Let's see- Before entering the park, I adore the Micky Mouse March in the Esplanade- Esplanade area bgm- Mickey Mouse March - YouTube

The Swisspolka that you can still here in Tarzan's treehouse- Disney's Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse (Swisskapolka) - YouTube

And some of the instrumentals in Pirates in mind blowing- Pirates of the Caribbean Part 1 - YouTube
(Seriously- you must listen to this version. It's awesome).

Adventureland Area Music is also really fun- Adventureland Area Music 1 - YouTube

I have the 50th anniversary CD with some of the soundtracks on it, and I find that I love Indiana Jones, Space Mountain, and the Fantasyland compilation that they have (it has most of the Fantasyland dark ride themes all on one track).

Re: favorite ride soundtracks?

I totally agree with everything that you said about the Soarin' soundtrack. It's simply outstanding. Along with Soarin', I love Space Mountain's music and the instrumental parts of POTC. And the WOC theme always gives me goosebumps. With so much great music in the parks, I could go on, but those are my particular favorites.

Re: favorite ride soundtracks?

I really love Space Mountain and Screamin. Before those two, I have never been on a rollercoaster with an onboard soundtrack before, and now I can't see why other places don't do it. It's a total experience on those.

I also love the theme to the Last Starfighter that is played as part of the Condor Flats background loop.

Re: favorite ride soundtracks?

I like the Indy and WoC soundtrack but I must say, the Space Mountain soundtrack is DAH BEST.

Re: favorite ride soundtracks?

I have way too many favorites. The ones that I constantly play over and over in my head though are Space Mountain, Soarin', Screamin', Radiator Springs Racers, the queue music for the Little Mermaid, World of Color, the Submarines (you read right), and Soundsational. I can usually walk home to the entire World of Color soundtrack.

The old American Journeys soundtrack is still near and dear to the ticker (even like the queue intro they played as you walked into the theatre). Also loved the "Golden Dreams" cap-off in the prefurb version of Lincoln. Was fortunate to find all of these online.

Also a big fan of Jerry Goldsmith's 'Soarin' score.

The Current Tomorrowland loop, which is composed of old TL songs, original compositions and a Movie song.

I have several favorites, but one standout is for Pirates of the Caribbean. Oh, and also the Baroque Hoedown for the Electrical Parade.

Re: favorite ride soundtracks?

While the Haunted Mansion is my love, I'd have to say by far my favorite would be would be the very first year of Haunted Mansion Holiday, I find it beautiful and macabre. Much better than the one they have now.

yes, yes, and YES!!

All masterpieces, in my humble opinion.

And back in the day, I always heard the soundtrack to America Sings going through my mind for the whole 1 hour drive back to the Valley.

I guess there's a whole patriotism thing going on.
