thoe124 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 What's the best smelling ride and the best sounding ride? I think Drop Tower or Backlot for sound and racer for smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBackGirl Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Um...what? That was my thought...I dont generally smell the rides. but maybe thats just me 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joncars05 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'll bite. Best sounding ride: KumbaBest smelling ride: Voyage. The tunnels during the fall and spring have a weird smell to them. But every time I smell it, I love it. (Don't judge me ) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I understand the sound part of this, but I really don't smell anything different on different rides, besides dark rides (they always have a weird smell). Best sounding - Flight of Fear. The launch is just so cool. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markhudson17 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I love the smell of the grease used on the wooden coasters...and love the sound of the anti rollbacks on The Beast and racer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Arrow lift hills sound the best, especially if you are on the lift and the train is going up next to you. Best smell...eh I think blue streak this year..smelling those greased uostop wheels as they spin freely at the brake run...yum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Son of Beast lift was my favorite sound. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuxedoman52 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Flight of Fear for smell except in the exit were there is usually puke just waiting to be stepped in. Best sounding is Diamondback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Sound: Either the deep VROOM of Dragster's launch, or any older B&M's roar, like Raptor. As for smell, I've never actually paid any attention to this before. I can picture it now, my next visit to an amusement park I'll be sticking my nose to every seat, restraint, and train. I shudder with the thought of what my nose could be touching if I did that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I only know the worst smelling ride- Zephyr. The best sounding ride is any without some young punk screaming in my ear like a little girl to be 'funny'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparanoia Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Worst smelling I think is Eiffel Tower when going up for the fireworks at the end of the day. Armpits, and dirty diapers..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Wooden coasters haven't used grease to lube the track in most parks for many years. That's graphite. Camden Park still uses grease. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Is blue streak the same way? It doesn't smell like pencils...it smells like motor oil nice and warm from the sun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnofthedead Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Best smell and sound, hands down The Beast. The smell of the wood of the track and the trees. That chain lift hill sound and the music plus warning "please keep hans ect inside at all time, then the last sounds of the chain before you drop...awesome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Firehawk's lift is probably my favorite sound. It was, after all, the last thing I ever heard before it cost me 99% of my hearing... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so poetic, and has been stuck in my head multiple times. People give me strange looks when I say it going up the lift hills at the park by me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieseltech20 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Best sound....Vortex. Best smell...First Tunnel of Adventure Express on a hot Summer day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire-Beast-OF FEAR Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sound- TTD "Going to warp". Smell- Racer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaiderFTW Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Since thoe124 said Kings Island, the best sound for me would be Vortex. The classic Arrow chain left sound is the best. The best smell... Hmm. Probably a tie between Racer and Adventure Express. Racer's got the classic wood coaster smell, but Adventure Express's tunnel smells (especially at the first lift) is super nostalgic for me. I used to be terrified of AE when I was a kid, so the smell used to fill me with dread. Now, it's a sign that I'm about to experience one of my favorite rides, and the smell brings back a ton of memories. Good times! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark6495 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Son of Beast lift was my favorite sound. Did you not like your hearing? JK. That hill was so loud! Favorite sound: Tie. The very top of Vortex when the lift hill roll backs click over to the mini drop before the turn / The Beast lift hill. I just love the sound of click click click click. Favorite smell: AE or possibly the train? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I could have sworn this title said something else at first glance lol. Favorite Sound: The Racer and Beast's chain Favorite Smell: The musty smell of AE's tunnels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
