pkiguy19 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Can anyone name (all would be great) the songs that used to be played on international street while owned by paramount? I could recognize the tune but don't know the names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adventure2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Well I dont know the names myself but I did love the feeling I got when I heard them walking to the front gate. I would like to know the names myself. One of them was very guitar oriented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Oddly enough, music of that very same style and tempo now plays in the area of Batman The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure. It once played at the entry plaza to the park, but only until noon each day. We call it "Paramount Gate Music." It is my understanding that it still plays at the entry plaza at Kings Dominion, at least so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiguy19 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 The list we have so far is amazing. I've been searching online to try and listen to them. If we could create a list and have links to listen to each one, how cool would that be! Merchandise should sell a CD of the old theme songs, but I don't thind CF would like that too much :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorGuy Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 Although, I'm glad they no longer play that Paramount music, I really don't care for the music they replaced it with. It is suppose to be International Street, they should play some music from other countries and stuff. Sort of like the old days of when it first opened! Cedar Point does a small mix of New Age music into their genre, so I would think they would do at least some of that at Kings Island.

hauntguy Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I would love to hear Broadway/Musical music that is popular on I-Street. Music from: Phantom of the Opera Cats The Music Man Urinetown Hairspray Grease Guys and Dolls On The Town Seussicle The Musical (sp?) Oklahoma! A Chorus Line Annie Anything Andrew Lloyd Webber Anything John Phillip Sousa ETC. Music that is in the peppy/popular tune of the music KI used to play... but would not associate itself to any movie/film studios... or any other park for that matter! That would cool. -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikewhy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The music that is played now really clashes with the atmosphere on International Street. It is just not right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I say ditch the "international" facades on the buildings since they haven't followed an "international" theme in years. Then theme the street to the music being played- whatever that is.... on a side note- am glad to see the characters working atop the Festhaus again.

Aww I really like the look of International Street while the music i agree clashes with the atmosphere its the old themed buildings with the old wood like roofs on them and the fountains and the old trees that do it for me. Sometimes after a long day of work it can be very relaxing to walk down International Street. Also I really did like the music that paramount played on International Street it was quite relaxing and went well with the fountains.

Knoxville Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I really cant see anything but Orchestra music ever playing on international Street, anything else would just seem out of place. Imagine walking in and hearing techno music playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkiguy19 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone know what music was played BEFORE Paramount owned the park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Here's one I'll miss playing on International Street I enjoyed hearing this one. It's St. Elmo's Fire (1985) - Love Theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Does anyone know what music was played BEFORE Paramount owned the park? That was quite a long time ago but if I remember correctly it was non-movie related symphony style music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Yeah I was 12 in 1992 I don't remember or really didn't pay too much attention to the little facts of KI back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 A few other songs not already mentioned, that I remember being played during the Paramount-era (1993 to current) were: "Driving Miss Daisy - End Titles" by Hans Zimmer "Where the Money Is" from The Distinguished Gentleman by Randy Edelman "Born On the Fourth of July Main Theme" by John Williams "Fletch Theme" by Harold Faltermeyer I have a lot more to list that I downloaded a few years back. Once I find them, I'll post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I really wish they still play instrumental music on International Street, it just gave the area a nice feel. I understand not wanting to use the Paramount themes, but they could have came up with something other then what they are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Most of the music played on International Street during the Paramount era was NOT Paramount movie music, it was movie music, and entertainment related music. I think Cedar Fair wanted to show a change...and going back to movie music and not playing only the Paramount Studios movies' music would be a change so minor few would notice. Cedar Fair wants people to go..."Oooh, something's different here..." I agree, it certainly changes the atmosphere on International Street, but not in, in my opinion, in a favorable way.

hauntguy Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I found a CD that I think would be PERFECT to put on I-street... it's the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra's "Ein Straussfest II"... if you have iTunes you can look it up and listen to it. But it sounds like a perfect fit to be heard on I-street and would certainly bring back that old feel of KI... pre-paramount. -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesv7 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 My kids like the music they are playing now but I'm with you guys bring back the instrumental music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I wonder if the decision to change the music come out of some stupid focus group. Is this something that, if enough people write to "Guest Relations", can convince management to return to playing symphony music? Or is this one of those "KI has a contract with Corporation X for the next ten years..." things? It just doesn't feel like KI anymore.

super7 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I remember this playing back in the Taft days.

BlondyRidesOn Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I used the forums and discussion boards on here as well as some posts from the Facebook groups to make my Paramount International Street playlist on Spotify. Recently I've been using the Shazam app to pick up and identify songs from YouTube videos filmed during the Paramount era. I also began trying to use Shazam on videos from Taft/KECO/Lindner era. Surprisingly, even if the music was clear in the recording, Shazam sometimes couldn't pick it up. I think it's possible that they used a custom recording of the classical music. Songs that I recently found: "Parade of the Charioteers" by Miklos Roza from Ben Hur (1959) "Seances And Swordfights" by Marc Shaiman from The Addams Family (1991) "Waltz from 'Cousins'" (1989) by Angelo Badalamenti, recorded by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra; found on another playlist, verified by my cousin. "The River" from The River (1984) by John Williams; This is the original recording from the movie, the park played a recording of this theme by The City of Prauge Orchestra in 2018 and 2019. "Water Fountain" from The Secret of My Success (1987) by David Foster Songs from Taft and KECO that are confirmed/semi confirmed: "Sabre Dance" by Aram Khachaturian from Gayaneh "Hoedown" by Aaron Copland from Rodeo "Valdres March" by Johannes Hanssen Songs from West Side Story by Leonard Bernstein (There are a couple West Side Story medleys you can find recordings of on YouTube and Spotify) "Jupiter" by Gustav Holst from The Planets "Olympic Fanfare & Theme" by John Williams (Played at Kings Dominion in 1989) "Flight of The Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov "Can-Can" by Jacques Offenbach from Orpheus in the Underworld "Stars And Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa Are there any that I'm missing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
