RedRacer76 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I currently work on the K.I.&M.V.R.R. and the crew has been talking about updating the songs. So I wanted to know what you guys think would fit the mood of this classic ride. Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I guess I just liked the classics--Cotton Eyed Joe and the like. I also liked in '17 how the train played the Mystic Timbers soundtrack as it approached the Losantisville station. 1 Quote
Benjamin22 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 It’d be nice if they played Halloween themed music on the train for fall. Quote
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 How about Wild Wild West by Escape Club! Fits perfect with Rivertown. I also miss you guys playing Kokomo by the Beach Boys! 2 Quote
MDMC01 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I know this would be jarring to some, but... “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X. It may ruin the feel, but so love the song! If the song is not used with the train specifically, it could be played on speakers as you pass the fort with stuffed bear and skeleton. And yes, I agree that “Wild, Wild West” should remain on the train. Quote

Sometimes a peaceful train ride is a good thing. 2 Quote

Sometimes a peaceful train ride is a good thing. I agree. If I had to choose though, it would not be a modern pop song as mentioned above. I think any of the pickin' on music from Rivertown would be ok, as long as it is instrumental. Some nice relaxing instrumental music without vocals would not be too bad for background ambient noise on a trip through the woods. 2 Quote
Snowball Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I just hope they keep Cotton Eye Joe, I love annoying my girlfriend by singing that song to her every time it plays! 2 Quote
SonofBaconator Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 @RedRacer76, Keep Cotten Eyed Joe (a must) Ghost Riders The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Add Cincinnati Ohio The Magnificent Seven Wagon Wheel 1 Quote
fyrfyter Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 The theme song to Bonanza. I'd just as soon they remove the modern junk and fill it with old tunes, or turn it all off. It's also decent when someone has a clue about the history of it and can just talk to the guests. Positive interaction is best! 2 Quote
YOULLBEBACK Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I for one can't stand Cotton Eye Joe. It's tired, and been played on the train for ages. 1 1 Quote
silver2005 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Chattanooga Choo Choo would be a welcome song to hear. 2 Quote
BeeastFarmer Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I like the Wild Wild West song that @Hawaiian Coasters 325 mentioned, but always found it awkward with kids on the train and the lyrics talking about safe sex. Quote
