CycloneMan Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Kingda Ka / Golden Kingdom uses Safri Duo's "Samba Adagio" and "Adagio" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Mine Train and Rolling Thunder have been added to the list! And you're Absolutely right Dainan! Those are indeed 2 of the Kingda Ka songs! Thanks to both of you Edited February 2, 2011 by Great Adventurer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Indiana Jones would make more sense playing in Skull Mt. station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yeah, it would. It's not too bad in the Runaway Mine Train station though, as it was originally an adventure through the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullets Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 El Toro plays a large selection from the Gipsy Kings, including their rendition of Hotel California. The music is ok, but i am so sick of it, especially rawhide. as a security officer, that song is on all the time and when the park is empty you can hear it all the way by the fountain. I guess its on a loop and need to be turned off manually, which never seems to happen. Medusa's song is from the matrix, BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Adventurer Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thank you, I'll add those in a bit later. I can never get enough of Nitro and KK's songs, they're awesome, and I loved Medusa's as well. Although some of them get a bit monotonous, they still fit the theme of the ride, although perhaps there should be a few more of them added to each ride, so there will be multiples instead of just one. And yes, Medusa's song is from the Matrix, that's how I found it in the first place (I heard it from Medusa's operator on closing day, and later looked up the soundtrack and eventually found the song).

Thrill-Pics Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Ok I have a question regarding music tracks that are played in the following places: > Kingda Ka's station....not queue...not Golden Kingdom (i already have all of safri duo) > Area around El Toro, and maybe even in the station. Its a distinct song and i don't know any Spanish so i cant post lyrics. Anyway if any of you know any info, please reply. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 A lot of the music in PdC is the Gypsy Kings. I'm not sure about the music on Kingda Ka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashacar Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 The one thing i hear over and over in PdC is a Spanish version of Hotel California. I have no idea who makes it but it shouldn't be too hard to come by if you're trying to make a mix or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pashacar Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Call me crazy, but that doesn't sound to me like the version played. I'm sure it is, but I remember it as bring much slower and more relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it is, but I remember it as bring much slower and more relaxed. It is similar but I don't think it is the exact same one either!

Thrill-Pics Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 (edited) If I had to guess at the lyrics ( i know no Spanish) the chorus would be: Si...nominahado hoy.... nominahado soy...naminahado siiiiiiii yaaa! Si! Then it repeats. If you read it slowly you might get it. Edited March 26, 2009 by Thrill-Pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Adventurer Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 It's all good! I'm 99.99(repeat)% sure they play that remix on Kingda Ka, I've heard it in the line quite a few times. Crazy Benny has been added to the list! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill-Pics Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Does anyone else know actual station music for ka? Like when you hear the 'WELCOME TO KINGDA KA' spiel.......whats in the background besides that remix and safri duo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrill-Pics Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Sorry For The Double Post But.............................. I got some more golden kingdom music! (thanks to VCAST Song ID ) Most of the stuff is either safri duo or from the artist gigi's Illuminated Audio album. I can hear many songs on that album played in the Golden Kingdom.

scipiomask Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 They play the Main Theme from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves in line for the Skyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDavid Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 A couple of weeks ago I went to the park and was waiting in line for the skyride at the station near Skull Mountain. There were 2 speakers on the roof. An old white one and one of the new black ones they've thrown all over the park. The white one was playing traditional theme park music while the black one was playing pop music. They were both way too loud and put together they were just excruciating.

pashacar Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I find the sound control in the park to be very poor. Things like that happen all the time, and nobody seems to notice or fix it. Not to mention that volume in many areas--queues, shows, park music, even ride op speils--tends to be too loud too often.

that1stdropsadoozy Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Another song used at Kingda (one of my fav's!) is by Zombie Nation- the song is called Kernkraft 400 =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
