Scooby_Doo Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Hey all i was wondering what kinda music would you guys like to hear or see in the PKI?or what kinda music would you like to hear in line? Quote
Dino2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 I HATE RAP with a PASSION...I CANT stand RAP period! SO I gotta go with Metal thats my kinda music!!!! 2 Quote
pki_guy Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 I, like Dino, CANNOT STAND RAP MUSIC(if you can even call it music). It absolutely drives me insane. I dislike country but its better than rap. Gotta go with the metal or rock. 1 Quote
Stitch Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Metal, I allready made a topic of this a while ago. 1 Quote
Elder Panther Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 Any kind of rock, but if they want to get rides more in theme, then I think they should play music which goes with the ride's theme. Adventure Express could have old west type music, Flight of Fear could have techno, The Beast could have scary kinds of music, etc. Quote
italianchef Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 (edited) Paramount's Kings Island has 8 separate areas, each with its own theme. I concur with the folks who displayed a displeasure for Rap. Being that our esteemed theme park has 8 unique themed areas, I'd like each to play different music: International Street - Internationa Music (Italian/French/Chinese songs) to match the international eateries at International Street. Oktoberfest - German beer hall songs. Paramount Action Zone - Paramount's Movie theme songs. Coney Mall - Comtemporary Pop Music. Rivertown - Downhome Country Music. Hanna-Barbera Land - Old Hanna-Barbera cartoon tunes. Nickelodeon Central - Nickelodeon cartoon Music. WaterWorks - 1960s & 1970s Beach music (Beach Boys, Momas & Papas, etc.) What do y'all think of that????????? Edited January 1, 1970 by italianchef Quote
teenageninja Posted March 28, 2003 Posted March 28, 2003 This needs to be moved it really doesn't fit in here. Action Zone-Movie themes Oktoberfest-German music International street-Music from all over the world Coney Mall-60's and 70's music Rivertown-Country/Folk HB Land-HB songs Nick-Nick songs Waterworks-Anything Quote
Scooby_Doo Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 No no i know they have there own music i was talking about while wating in line, Concerts,Shows l(ike the back pourch),When you first walk in the park..get my drift? Quote
AllenAmazon Posted April 14, 2003 Posted April 14, 2003 Classic rock is my favorite. Hey, I like Elder too! I didn't go there, though. Football State Champs 2002: can't be wrong! Quote
StXBomber Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Dance should be on there! You don't know how much I enjoy hearing a dance song come on the TV's while I'm a greeter! I may not be able to watch it, but I love to listen to it! Quote
fyrfyter Posted April 19, 2003 Posted April 19, 2003 Dance Music is good, and movie music too. i would like it if they were able to update with new music throughout the summer, as well as some of the cleaner music videos. Quote
gabelogan99 Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 I remember when I went last October, I heard the Unchained Melody (Ghost) when I was standing near the exit about ready to leave. Talk about a song that truly captures the mood of leaving the park! I think the Paramount music is cool no matter where you are in the park. Quote
merchandise2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Coney Mall-60's and 70's music Coney Mall sounds great with today's pop music. Some country music is mixed in with it. If you want to hear mental, go into music. We play some that is "family friendly." Quote
RingMaster Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Only you would resurrect a now twelve-year-old topic from the dead, Terpy. Oddly enough, the soundstage that held the iconic set pieces from that particular production (Stage 28) was demolished at Universal Studios Hollywood this past September. 5 Quote
WindingSon Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I think we all have a little bit of FUN in line these days. 4 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I believe the music line up is perfect. At least to me. I do know that this thread was made in 2003. But it's still good to toss it out there. Quote
benny1388 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Adding my $0.02 to the necro'd thread... The best music to have in a park is the music that's just there, sets the mood, but you tend to not consciously notice it. Genre doesn't really matter. 1 Quote
Voicetek Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I've mentioned this before in other threads, but I'll say it again here. I absolutely loath the music that's pumped through the park in recent year. It's the same junk all the time in every single area of the park. It's the same stuff you hear on the radio on the ride to the park. Why in this world would I want to come to KI to hear what's blasting on the radio 24/7? I wouldn't. I want music that sets a certain mood. When I walk through the gates, I want to feel like I've left reality behind me and entered a new dimension of fun. I remember back in the 90s, when you walked through the front gates and saw the Eiffel Tower for the first time. They used to play instrumental music and there was something about hearing that music and seeing the fountains and looking up and seeing the tower in the middle of it all. The combinations of those things just made you excited to be there. Not anymore. Now, no matter where you are in the park, you get the same type of pop music. Whether you're on International Street, Planet Snoopy, or Coney Mall, you get the pleasure of hearing Taylor Swift sing about another failed relationship or any of the other similar sounding songs. Now I'm not bashing this type of music. I think there is a place for it and it can definitely be fun to crank the type of music in your car, roll down your windows and go cruising down the highway in the summer time. However, for me it just doesn't seem to fit within the park setting. If I'm in a particular area of the park, I want to hear music that makes me feel like I'm in that area. However, since we are losing the themed lands one by one, I guess it's not going to matter much anymore. I'd really like the instrumental music back though, at least on International Street. I think you need that big first impression when you walk into the park. That's just my two cents. 5 Quote
Magenta Lizard Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 If you think Planet Snoopy has the same music as the rest of the park, I don't think you've spent any time there (other than during ERT, when it is the same). I much prefer the pop from the rest of the park to the Kidz Bop crap they play in PS. 2 Quote
Voicetek Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I meant same type of music. I've heard some pop music in Planet Snoopy while walking through. I know it's more than just Kidz Bop. I've definitely heard some Miley Cyrus and wondered why in the world there were still playing her music. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Not to mention some of it is utterly inappropriate for a Kiddieland. Making kiddies, maybe... 6 Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I have similar feelings about the music in the park. I haven't been over in Planet Snoopy much this year, so I don't know exactly what they play, but I believe it's similar music over the loud speakers to whats played on International Street, plus Kidz Bop. This would be my ideal soundtrack list for each section: International Street- Whatever they play at Kings Dominion (The Reivers Main Theme by John Williams, Gabriels Oboe by Ennio Morricone from "The Mission," etc.) plus some from the Taft/KECO era (Sabre Dance by Aram Khachutarian, Hoedown by Aaron Copland). Planet Snoopy- Music from the Peanuts specials, like "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." Coney Mall- Nothing much to change. Action Zone- Nothing much to change. Rivertown- Bluegrass music in train station. Soak City- Beach Boys music. 3 Quote
homestar92 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Not to mention some of it is utterly inappropriate for a Kiddieland. Making kiddies, maybe... I don't recall which park it was (almost want to say Cedar Point, but not sure) but I distinctly remember hearing "Centerfold" by the J. Geils Band right next to a childrens' area. As I said already, Cedar Point seems correct. I want to say it was right near the Magnum exit (which is very close to the Gemini childrens' area). 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I like the fact they're cranking out 90's music in Coney Mall now. Instant nostalgia trigger for me. Twas the decade I grew to love the park. I think their music selection is fine. Its a decent mix of music while attending to their key demographics. Quote
TeTe27 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I would always love to hear more Classic Rock! 2 Quote
TheBeast1116 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 More country music. half the music they play, I've never heard before 1 Quote
