LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Currently I like when they play "Madness" by Muse. I remember loving wandering the park to Moon River back in the Paramount days though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex31 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Does anyone know what the NIN song is that they play prior to the Blood Drums show starting? It might be a Trent Reznor song. I have been listening to NIN all over the net and can't figure it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 2000's under Paramount- "Marion's Theme" from Raiders of the Lost Ark by John Williams, "Superman Main Theme" from the Superman films by John Williams, "The Breakfast Machine" from Pee Wee's Big Adventure by Danny Elfman, "Chariots of Fire" from Chariots of Fire by Vangelis, "Rose" from Titanic by James Horner, theme from "St. Elmo's Fire." 2014- "Happy" by Pharrell Williams (I've heard this while walking into the park on International Street once or twice this year), "Home" by Philip Philips (I heard that one while in Oktoberfest multiple times this season) "Give your heart a break" by Demi Lovato. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 In the past, the overture from The Addams Family, "Steady As She Goes" by The Raconteurs, and various cues from Inception (used exclusively at The Crypt for a time) all stand out. Also, I haven't ridden Adventure Express this season, but last year they were using a select piece of music from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Most people probably wouldn't even notice, considering the selection never quotes the familiar "Indiana Jones March," but being a cinephile, I recognized it as the music from the film's opening temple set piece. For this season, "I Put a Spell on You" by Creedence Clearwater Revival and a cue from Poltergeist (I believe from the scene where Carol Anne is "kidnapped" during a fierce tornado strike) come to mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue171717 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've had Time Warp stuck in my head all day. My daughter was very embarassed at my attempts to sing and dance everytime we heard it yesterday while walking around. I promised myself I wasn't going to turn into "that mom" when my mom used to sing to the muzak at the grocery store when I was a kid, but something went wrong when I got old. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnchantedMoon Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Does anyone know what the NIN song is that they play prior to the Blood Drums show starting? It might be a Trent Reznor song. I have been listening to NIN all over the net and can't figure it out. It is "The Hand That Feeds' from The Fragile album. I love NIN. They also play Rob Zombie and Ministry I LOVE Blood Drums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieF Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Sorry for bumping this topic back up-- but I had to respond! "Hey Mama" by the Black Eyed Peas (It had been playing near The Racer the first time I had went with my sister) "Happy" by Pharrell "Brave" by Sarah Barellis "We Won't Go Home" by the Colourist (I had actually seen them with Panic at the Disco at Bogarts the winter before last and was so happy to see them on the FunTVs) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 KatieF, the two white coasters at Kings Island are collectively Racer. Not "The Racers." Terp, helpin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The park refers to the ride, both on signage and online, as The Racer. See also: https://www.visitkingsisland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides-12-14-11-44/The-Racer However, on FunTV, it is referred to as Racer S and Racer N. Similarly, The Beast is occasionally referred to simply as Beast. The the is both there and not, they cannot decide... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Racer South and Racer North are internal park names. The important part here isn't "the." It's that the two white coasters make up ONE attraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 One attraction consisting of two fully-independent coasters that share a wooden structure and are intended to operate in tandem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 "Your Wildest Dreams", and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere"-, The Moody Blues. I saw them playing at Timberwolf the summer of '88. I was seated middle right. I noticed a really cute blonde girl dancing several rows back with her friends. I thought I would strike up a conversation with her after the show, but lost track of her and never saw her again. Over the years, I would sometimes think about how I should have played that one a little differently. Fast forward 5 years. I'm out of the Army and in college. I am talking with the girl I am dating and we discover that she was at that concert also. She was seated rear right dancing with her friends. Yep. It was her. We celebrated our 14 year wedding anniversary this month. When I hear those songs, I think about seeing my wife for the first time, dancing at that concert at Kings Island; And how 5 years later, I was lucky enough to finally be able to strike up that conversation with her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakota88 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Anyone got a list? Or a favorite song that they heard at KI? Maybe one the reminds you of KI? I'm old so I the music that makes me think of KI are the classical works "Sabre Dance" and "Flight of the Bumblebee" that they used to play on International Street. That was the first thing you heard when you walked into the park so I associate those tunes with feelings of excitement and joy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoraX Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Waiting in line for The Beast the other day they played "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly. I love that song. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian Job 2005 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 YES^. I was just watching a vlog on YouTube of someone in Kings Dominion and that parks's IS music is phenomenal. Is this attention to detail because maybe they have to compete with Busch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just looked at last year's response, and I'd have to add one song that made 2015 special, and I think a lot of us have heard it at least once... Ants- EDit This is the song that played when Shannon and Evelyn (trapeze act) took the stage for Cirque Imagine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stashua123 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I once heard The Way I Feel About You by Kayrn White which was really weird but the beat is so catchy! It sounds 80s but it was made in 1991. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGnBV1HMGG0 Coldplay Viva La Vida https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPE Rumour Has It Adele https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1p6Xbqrbx0 No Place I'd Rather Be Clean Bandit very fitting for KI! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiqAiWGdZGA I will think of some more! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I've long found it curious that songs with "beast" in the lyrics seem to have weight on KI's playlist. (Demons by Imagine Dragons and Stay Young, Go Dancing by Death Cab for Cutie come to mind.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlondyRidesOn Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 "Rose" by James Horner from Titanic; it helped give International Street beauty and charm, in my opinion. But that was long ago... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
