I was so nervous the first time I was in the queue for this ride (HH Saturday night) this song calmed me down mainly because MM is awesome and took my mind off of what I was about to do haha. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Another one came to mind while I was driving back to work from lunch today. I heard a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I got to thinking about other songs by them and their song "Zephyr" popped into my head. Easy to guess what ride I think of when I hear that song. And in typing this, there's another song by them that makes me think of the park. It wasn't their's originally, but both the Peppers' cover and Ohio Players' original of "Love Rollercoaster" is it.

RingMaster Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 This is more for the off-season than the regular season, for obvious reasons... Quote
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Great songs guys! Lovin' them. Honestly I remember a song by Modest Mouse, ummmm OH YEAH! Float On, I remember driving on the way there singing it soo loud out the window. Also heard it at Boomerang Bay, or Soak City... Still not pleased with the name but yeah Quote
Pedro Cerrano Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 2 that are still stuck in my head from the paramount years Quote
BB1 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I forgot of some songs that i have forgotten to mention Boys of summer - Don Henley Barracuda - heart Big Yellow Taxi - Counting Crows King of Anything/Love Songs - Sara Bareilles Heat Is On - Glen Frey Kiss me/There She Goes - Sixpence The best in music for one of the best parks in my personal top 10 Quote
KIfan1980 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Maybe I just don't pay attention, but there really aren't that many songs I relate to Kings Island. I know music is always playing, but the only place I ever listen/hear it to remember is on the train. My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion (Titanic...) I can't help but assume that for Gator, this song/movie soundtrack reminds him of The Beach more than KI 1 Quote
spitfire Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 The Paramount movie soundtracks definitely invoke KI memories, and I always strangely think of walking through International Street to the tune of the Indiana Jones theme. Top Gun songs for obvious reasons. There have been countless songs I remember listening to on the way to, or hearing in line from QTV, or even just songs I used to listen to to psyche myself up for riding rides that I was scared of.

homestar92 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Well, there's Right Now by Van Halen, due to my utter surprise early last season when I learned that Drop Tower played one of my favorite songs of all time. Then there's Wheel in the Sky by Journey, which I still think should be in WindSeeker's lineup And Summer of 69 by Bryan Adams, because the feelings he describes in that song describe to a tee my summer of 2010, and my fond memories at KI that year. 2011 was just not as good for me, maybe because of my bi-weekly trips not seeming quite as special as the 3 I enjoyed in 2010. That, and 2011 was when I lost my coaster buddy and KI was never the same after that. We shall see what 2012 brings in that regard. Anyway, lastly, I think the theme from Chariots of fire should go in my list too, because when I ride the first drop on The Beast, I can picture it in slow-mo with that music playing, lol. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Chickenfried by Zac Brown Band. It seemed to always be playing when we were in line for Panda Express. Quote
jlopez Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 "ray of light" - modonna , I remembering the music video playing while in line for WWC back in 98 i think. also, "Wannabe"- spice girls, and "no Rain" -blind melon. I also rememer these music videos playiing while in line. Not real sure on the year but everytime i hear them, reminds me of Kings Island. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 A number can't put to how many times I heard this in Coney last season. Quote
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 The old Beach Waterpark radio jingle. "Come to da Beach. Right across from da Island". Whenever I heard that I'd think, golly gee, I'd like to go to Kings Island right now. So maybe the commercial didn't affect me the way it was intended to. 1 Quote
faeriewench Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 also, "Wannabe"- spice girls They continued to play that video through the early and mid 2000s. I think the last time I saw the video was 2007 (2006 for sure). That song/video really does bring back a lot of KI memories. I Want You by Savage Garden....anyone who had to spend extended period of time out in Boomerang Bay its first couple years should look it up and see if it jars some memory, lol. And for some strange reason "Spanish Harlem" by Ben E King (imo one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard) makes me think of KI now.. Curious anyone know who it was that sung the version of Waltzing Matilda that played in the water park? Now THAT would really make me think of KI, every once in awhile it still pops into my head. Quote
alluna Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Top Gun song and... of course... anything by The Beach Boys! Nothing triggers memories of our Boomerang Bay days like The Beach Boys!! Quote
PKIDelirium Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 The entire Top Gun soundtrack, and Ready to Go by Republica, used in Klockster's Vortex music video back in 2005. Quote
TromaKing Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 The Smurf theme song. That song I like to eat eat eat apples and bananas The theme from Doug There are more but those are the ones off the top of my head Quote
Oldiesmann Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 A few more that remind me of KI: "Learning How to Fly" by the Foo Fighters "A Baby Changes Everything" by Faith Hill "Show Me What I'm Looking For" by Carolina Liar The first two are frequently heard in DB's queue line, while I heard the last one on I-Street one day as I was leaving the park. Quote
kingsrattler Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 ^ Are you referring to "Learn to Fly" or do they have another song called learning how to fly also? Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion (Titanic...) I can't help but assume that for Gator, this song/movie soundtrack reminds him of The Beach more than KI Funny! I'm the king of the wor... (blub blub blub)... Quote
westcoaster Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 TOP GUN SOUNDTRACK for the Paramount day. When you wish upon a star for the dream mission vision and passion Kings Island early leaders had to build the park. I Love rock N Roll: Quote
berlingkj Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Anything by The Cars or The Police. Or anything off of the album Under the Table and Dreaming by Dave Matthews Band. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 ^ Are you referring to "Learn to Fly" or do they have another song called learning how to fly also? Yes, it is "Learn to Fly". I even Googled it first and saw references to a "learning how to fly", so I guess many people get the title mixed up (I'm not that familiar with the band). Quote
israel09 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 MR Blue Sky by ELO. Me and my friend love that song from the movie , Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It just happened to play in the park the first time we visited Together Quote
jasonondropzone Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Obviously Van Halen's Right Now after my first ride on DT I kept singing it throughout my day at KI, and when I walk around the park from ride to ride I am the type of person who zones out constantly so I don't hear any music just screams, lifts clanking, and the wind coming down after the people on DT. So if that counts as music then the whole atmosphere of KI! Quote
jdawg1998 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 "Calendar Girl" after they played it in the line of Holiday Horror at Halloween Haunt. 1 Quote
beastrider97 Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I loved when they played the Top Gun Anthem when the park closed. It seemed like the prefect ending to a perfect day. Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 ^^ They played that non stop. It was probably the most annoying thing I've ever heard. Quote
jdawg1998 Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 ^^ They played that non stop. It was probably the most annoying thing I've ever heard. Yes...I mean at least they could have gotten another couple songs to play... Also, now every time I hear Calendar Girl (not much, hah), it gives me chills... 1 Quote
countess_of_tuscany Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield (played in Nick Universe a few years ago), "Vertigo" by U2 (Invertigo station last season...over and over!), "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon (Diamondback line a few years ago), and some of the reoccuring background music on Spongebob (the music used in Spongebob 3D - I miss that!). I love how music can make you feel like you are somewhere else completely - especially when it's related to great times at KI! Quote
