xXDrummerKiDXx Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Well title says it all, what songs remind you of Kings Island? Mine would have to be: Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold (My friends and I listened to that song the whole 25 minute ride to KI) What I've Done - Linkin Park (Heard it at Halloween Haunt 2010) You're Gonna Go Far Kid - The Offspring (A pumped up song I listen to before hitting the rides) I could go on for years Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "Right Now" by Van Halen always reminds me of KI because of its use on Drop Tower. Quote
Hank Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "No One Needs To Know" by Shania Twain, as shown in a video from the movie TWISTER, seen while in line for The Beast when the park was owned by that company whose name started with the letter "p"! Quote
Sonor_Drummer Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 AC/DC's Blow Up Your Video album. We listened to it the whole way from Columbus to Kings Island. Quote
Oldschool75 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "Too Late for Goodbyes" Remember hearing it when I was younger during teen nights in the 80's. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "Who Can It Be Now" by Men At Work - I remember hearing that in Beast's queue back in the 80's when I was a kid, and for some reason that's stuck with me. "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago - The clown band used to play this my first year working at the park ('89). I used to stand at my window in the Bakery on International Street, watching them and wishing I could play in that band one day... a wish that never did come true. As a tuba player, I love that song's bassline. Any of the numerous soundtrack tunes that played in the park during the Paramount era - With as long as I worked there and heard those, those songs will always remind me of the park. "More Human Than Human" by Rob Zombie - This song always goes through my mind when I get on Flight of Fear. "Nightmare", "Welcome to the Family" & "Danger Line" by Avenged Sevenfold - For the past two Halloween Haunts, I would pop in A7X's Nightmare CD and listen to it to get pumped up on my drive from my day job to Haunt. "Nightmare" fits the general theme of Haunt. "Welcome to the Family" fits the theme Slaughter House has had the past two years, what with Mama in the first room and us, her babies, populating the rest of the house. "Danger Line" was just the next song after those two on the CD. (My first year working Haunt, I would listen to Marilyn Manson's Lest We Forget: The Best Of CD on random, and my 2nd year I would listen to Rob Zombie's Past, Present & Future CD on random). Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "Who Can It Be Now" by Men At Work - I remember hearing that in Beast's queue back in the 80's when I was a kid, and for some reason that's stuck with me. One of the songs I was going to post. Played in the park this year too. Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "Sir Duke," a 1976 song by Stevie Wonder ("You can feel it all over!") always reminds me of Kings Island. One of my most memorable trips was a couple years later, in 1978, when we lived in Michigan for awhile. That song played on the radio like 3 times during the trip down, and then it was blasted over the loudspeakers that used to stick out from the Eiffel Tower's 50' deck. The horns and awesome Nathan Watts bass riff in that song sound like a good-time parade, which helps tie that song to my visions of the park in it's glory. Also "Telephone Line" by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) always reminds me of Kings Island, because it was the song that was playing on my mom's stereo the morning of my first-ever airplane flight, from Detroit to Dayton, to come down to my uncle's house in Mason for a special weekend at KI.

faeriewench Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Theme from Mission Impossible Star Trek Next Generation theme My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion (Titanic...) Monster by The Automatic to name a few.. 1 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 OH YEAH! Movie themes! Thanks fw I almost forgot! Theme from Superman, Breakfast Machine by Danny Elfman, Italia from the Talented Mr. Ripley by Gabriel Yared... I could go on for hours! Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "Sir Duke," a 1976 song by Stevie Wonder Also "Telephone Line" by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) Two great songs! Sir Duke has one of the best horn parts ever written, and I've always loved ELO. "Telephone Line" always reminds me of listening to the 8-track while riding around in Mom's powder blue Scout. (I included the link for those young'uns who never heard of a Scout). Mom definitely had the only powder blue one in Cincinnati, if not the state. Quote
faeriewench Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I Feel for you by Chaka Khan is another. Remember the adorable kitties on the TVs in the queue lines when that song played? ha.. 2 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 My Father and I used to go to KI only on Father's Day so once a year, on the way up to the park and on the way back we'd listen to 007 music from all the movies. So all of those songs make me think of KI and my dad.... Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nothing will ever remind me more of KI than the Top Gun soundtrack. A year there hearing those 10 songs over and over is something I dont think I could forget. 1 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Speaking of Men at Work, I'm reminded of KI every time I hear "Down Under", which gets semi-regular airplay on WGRR here in Cincinnati. Quote
Joncars05 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Definitely "Vertigo" by U2. "Coney Island" by Death Cab for Cutie "Sun Hands" by Local Natives. (Not sure why this song reminds me of the park but maybe its just the AHHHHS and the first verse "climbing the hill") Quote
16gwoods Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 "All Summer Long" By Kid Rock because this played while i was entering the park for the first real time ( I had been but not since i was 3) Quote
frisbeefan Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 'Theme from St. Elmo's Fire' reminds of walking through International Street and seeing the fountains. 'Saturday in the Park' by Chicago reminds me of when I would work in the mornings at Delirium when no park guests were there and it would echo throughout Action Zone. Good memories. Quote
BB1 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Down Under-Men at work, reminds me of the BB and some of my "encounters" at KI Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nothing will ever remind me more of KI than the Top Gun soundtrack. A year there hearing those 10 songs over and over is something I dont think I could forget. Exactly what I was going to post, hot summer nights. Quote
ohiocolts Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 They were already said, but Right Now by Van Halen and Vertigo by U2, because they are played in Drop Tower and Invertigo's queue lines. Whenever me and my friend hear Right Now on my iPod, we will slowly spin in a circle for a minute, then jump up and down like Physco's, reminds us both of DT. Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/imamcajBEJs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Oh, wait. 2 Quote
Oldiesmann Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This one also reminds me of KI since they started playing it in Flight Deck's queue and station: Quote
Maglados Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Goodness, I hate to post this song: The fact it is way over rated but I always thought about my friend and me at King's Island.For some reason this song always plays in my mind when I think about me and the person going. . But here it is... 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I love a park with a good sense of humor, and KI has oft displayed one. Imagine my pleasure when I walked down Coney Mall several years ago, only to hear: Then, I heard the next season at KI what is veritably a Great Adventure theme song: And lastly, from Que TV: Every time I hear any of these three songs I immediately think of two of my favorite parks, one in Ohio, the other in much missed New Jersey. For now, at least. Quote
Sonor_Drummer Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Also any song played in the movie Top Gun. I remember making my own K'Nex and Lego Paramount park when I was younger and having the soundtrack playing as park music. Along with my own music I had laying around. Quote
Windseeker Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Gordon Bombay might remember this song, One night in Bangkok by Murray Head played at The Beast in 2007. Quote
Beast1979 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Highway To the Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins and Use Somebody by Kings of Leon, simply because they were played over and over in the queues of Top gun and Diamondback, respectively. I'm starting to see a reoccurring theme here with songs and queuing / airplay at the park. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House. Heard it while walking by the beautifully lit fountains with my girlfriend, in a nearly empty International Street. 1 Quote
Cody Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Once walking into Rivertown has never had a better entrance http://youtu.be/SLPb1uQ29eU Quote
