GAcoaster Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Our wish for day #12: The return of themed music to the park's themed areas. Music is a big part of the atmosphere of any park, and having themed music for each section goes a LONG way to create the atmosphere. In parts of the park where the music is themed (Golden Kingdom, Plaza del Carnavale) it really helps set the mood. The generic pop soundtrack that has taken over most of the park has to go. The Boardwalk area should have 60's surf music playing. The lakefront should have nautical music playing. Main Street should have a ragtime soundtrack. Frontier Adventures should have an "old west" soundtrack. Six Flags actually owns music for almost every area of the park which was recorded for Great America, and can be played royalty free in any park. It would actually save them money in not having to pay ASCAP licensing fees for playing the crappy pop soundtrack they currently use.

Daved Thomson Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I couldn't agree more. Simple, inexpensive, and would go a long way to bring theme to the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasmspiritblue Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 What happened to the western section playing music, they did not stop that long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 They've been playing new country music, which really sucks most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 The music in the Golden Kingdom really adds to the theme of the area well. I hate walking through other areas of the park and hearing Disney music, especially stuff like High School Musical. Disney music is fine in Disney World but not at a Six Flags park.

Up_Up_and_Away Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've said it before: why would a park choose not to use a theme element that costs nothing and is maintenance-free??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmanrobinchiller Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I miss Movietown's old music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acq10uaz Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Supposedly the Great America music can't be used at any other park for various different reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
