kingsislandfan1972 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I might be mistaken, but when I rode The Beast last year, I noticed the dark music was not playing when you first go up the hill in the beginning of the ride. If I am right, then why was the music not playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeast1116 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think my 1st time riding it, which was back in 2009, I think they played that music then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Did you mostly ride during ERT? It always seemed to me that the music typically did not play during ERT for the last couple seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventuro Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The music still exists. Sometimes it's not on sometimes it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I believe the "dark music" is from Lost and prior to that, a cue from Independence Day, if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Correct, the queue used to be music from Independence Day almost positive, but now both tracks are from Lost. When I find it for you I'll post both, I forget the name of the Independence Day track off the top of my head, lost I just need to look through my music folder uno momento Lost music on 1st lift hill, starts at 20 seconds: Lost music in queue, starts out at 16 seconds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The Independence Day track that was used on the lift hill was "The Darkest Day." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy3bGMdt8bg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 No problem, I saved these for this reason I know I'm not the only one who wanted to know the music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jr for Birdy Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Really? I surrender myself to the trees and fresh air when I ride The Beast, sigh, can't wait for this season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdf21972 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Always enjoy the slow anticipation of going up the lift hill seeing all the braclets thrown on the top of the roof and remember to keep your hands and arms inside at all times.

calakapepe Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 This music brings me back...I never watched either show/ movie.. But just the nostalgia associated with these songs... That will soon, most probably, be relived this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill_Biscuit Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I remember the music playing everytime I rode The Beast last season. Independence Day was the best stupid movie ever made! It beat "Twister" for the Best Special Visual Effects Oscar, but if you want to know how it goes, find the official "long" trailer; it's pretty much the cliff notes. Great special effects; dumb story. Made me feel this way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0Cho9WeDBo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It honestly depends if the driver doing start-ups in the morning remembers to turn it on (which is something they should do). Its a minuscule thing that often gets overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks for posting that link Thrill_Biscuit. I've never seen that series of videos & I've just spent the last 45 minutes watching different ones. I need to stop before I get hooked in to another! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I visited KI about 10 times last season and the music on The Beast was playing on only about 3 or 4 of the visits. It made me sad because the lift hill music is a lot of the reason i ride the ride (judge me ). It builds a lot of anticipation of what's lurking in the 35 acres of wooded hilly terrain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum91 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It honestly depends if the driver doing start-ups in the morning remembers to turn it on (which is something they should do). Its a minuscule thing that often gets overlooked. Ditto with Flight Deck, Adventure Express, and maybe ~50% of the rides with music. Others though, like Drop Tower and Invertigo, have their soundtracks synced with the ride. When the cycle starts, so does the music. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 ^I'm afraid to click on the link. I need to get some work done at work today! EDIT: I couldn't resist... I clicked. I've seen one of these already from a friend who posted the one for Frozen on Facebook. I didn't realize there were others... Now resisiting the urge to get sucked in some more! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
