markr Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Nice thread to start after my thread on smelly ride restraints. Anyway, there is nothing like the oil smell on any wooden coaster. My fav sound would be the B & M roar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamonbackandbeastlover Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 By far, the best smelling and sounding is beast, between the tunnels and the chain with music ahh that ride is the best and i just love the smell of wooden coasters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Sound: SoB Smell: JAWS. The whole area just had a special kind of smell... Sad I like rides that are no more... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeriewench Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Outside KI I always love Magnum's lift. It always make me think someone is having a fit throwing all their dishes to their kitchen floor and the lift makes the crashing noises as they break. And another sound I like is Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's. Dunno about smells around KI, I have a hard time getting past smelling sweat and cigarette smoke everywhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I like this topic. A unique question for sure. Best Sounding Ride - staying within KI I love the sound of The Beasts second lift hill. Outside of KI is Its a Small World at Disneyland Best Smelling Ride - within KI I love the smell of The Beasts tunnels on a cool night, especially during Haunt. Or the double helix tunnel on a hot summer day (Sauna). Outside of KI as mentioned earlier the smells on Soarin are great... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjpavlik Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 At KI. Best sound: Diamondback from the bottom of the first hill Best Smell: lift chain grease on The Beast from the front car. Worst Smell: the dumpster from behindthe Zyphyr. It's the round and round plus the smell makes it a once a year rider. Subway bread smell is a close second. Yuck.

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I would say AE has some of the worst smell... I like wooden rollies. They have a special kind of sound and smell and feel like a classic! My favorite smell for KI would have to be The Beast second hill. My favorite sound outside of KI would probably be Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Best smelling - There's something about AE that makes me all nostalgic. Best sounding - Flight of Fear's launch, Vortex's lift hill, and for some weird reason, I love that strange horn sound of Monster when it moves.

stashua123 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Diamondback dddulllahhhhowaaaa(roar) on its first and second drop. Smell is the smell of fountains Cloriene Skyline and LaRosas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbeast1968 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I agree. The smell of grease/lubricant on the wooden coasters. I love the "roar" of a B&M coaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 My favorite sounding ride was the unique sound Wildcat made at Cedar Point. Those anti rollbacks sounded like xylophones. My favorite smell is the train at Dollywood, or Voyage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwitb Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I love the roar of Raptor. Smell? Umm maybe Top Thrill standing around the launch area. Never really thought about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheaterKiss Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 One of my favorite sounds has to be the brake run of Flight Deck. The sound of things locking to stop the swinging trains is a neat sound that I remember being comforted by on my first rides as younger one. (I have absolutely no technical knowledge so "things locking" is the best I've got). Smell... while I'm not sure there is actually a smell, I feel like I'm breathing different air when I walk through the gates. Maybe the fountains have a smell or the food vendor right there, but I think it's more a mental thing where I smell excitement and fun. I'm fully aware I'm weird. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 After getting last ride of the night on Flight Deck on Thursday, I have to say that's the best sounding ride (FD at night). It's really quiet back there at night, so the only sounds you hear are those of the coaster, its riders, and lots and lots of crickets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoChickens Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Smell : Any of the woodies on a hot day, grease and wood. Sound: Flight Decks chain lift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really quiet back there at night, so the only sounds you hear are those of the coaster, its riders, and lots and lots of crickets. I rode it Thursday night around 9:45 and it was absolutely dead back there. That'll probably change next year though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Drop Tower is a really awesome ride regarding sounds. Invertigo's pretty far up there, too. My favorite sounding ride was the unique sound Wildcat made at Cedar Point. Those anti rollbacks sounded like xylophones.I'm not sure what xylophones you've seen or heard, but I guarantee they sound nothing like an anti-rollback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 There is no mistaking the smell of Adventure Express' tunnels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 For some reason I love the sound of the brakes as Adventure Express is returning to the station. Tsst tsst tsst tsst...Tsst tsst tsst tsst. Tsst tsst tsst tsst...Tsst tsst tsst tsst Tssssssst 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Sound goes to the anti-rollback on Vortex. Special mention to how ridicously loud Son of Beast was, especially when a train was cresting the top of the lift hill. It sounded like a machine gun turret or something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I used to LOVE the smell of the Smurf ride. It might be just me, but I've always liked the smell of dark rides. They always smell interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Smell: no clue... lol maybe Viking Fury or Carousel b/c it's right there by Funnel Cakes LOLSound: I love the CLICK! sound of Invertigo, the whoosh of Diamondback, and the eerie music and screaming in the tunnels of The Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emileeee Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That sound Invertigo makes as it drops the train after holding for a few seconds. FD's brakes before going into the station. Harry Potter music on WindSeeker I can still remember the music from SDATHC before it was Boo Blasters, and Shaggy talking about the "bright-light-flashlight," and the little hiss as his character lowered behind the wall. FoF's launch is a great sound. Beasts' lift. There aren't many good smells I can associate with at KI, but they are associated with good memories. The hot asphalt upon walking in the gates or a trash bin that's been sitting out for too long. The smell of the woods while riding Beast at night is one I'll never forget, as well as the scent of LaRosa wafting through the air while exiting Beast. It's funny how much the brain associates smell with memory and I never noticed how many details I can pick out just from smells and sounds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDrummerKiDXx Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think we all know the best sound is Firehawk's loud chain in your ear. HA! Kidding... Anyway, Invertigo's click is a nice sound, but when you're the next one in line, the roar of Invertigo coming through the station scares me every time... FOF's launch scares me, too. The best sound to me is Flight Deck's final break at night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geebs11 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The smell of 'Soarin' is absolutely awesome! I love the noise The Beast makes as it's exiting the 2nd tunnel....and approaching the 2nd lift hill....I swear it sounds like a ROAR! - But, if we count music...as a 'Sound' Rip Ride Rock It and Rock'N Roller Coaster are awesome rides with music playing in your ears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJSkyFoxx Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Best sounding ride: Vortex. I'm a sucker for the sound of the chain lift Best smelling ride: Diamondback. I still can smell the wood from the fence and station that has a nice aroma. Just adds to the experience (same with Maverick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
