Favorite Coaster Sound?

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby Geno21K on July 6th, 2006, 2:36 pm
/\ Yeah, the sound of that holding break on the back tower definitely stands out. It's always funny to see a person's face when they are riding for the first time and hear that :shock:
I'm gonna twist ya, and I'm gonna flip ya. Every time you squeal, I'm just gonna go faster and harder.

The sound when the Demon train peaks over the lift, it clicks and clacks really loud, i remember that Shockwave did that too, ahh that reminds me, back in the day when entering the park hearing the screams coming from Shockwave as it drops.

The noise of Demon's lift hill, and that gong-like sound at the base of Bull's lift.

Those "screams" on V2 on the launch aren't screams, it is the LIMs launching the ride.

I know that! I was talking about in the beggining when it screeches and then when it comes back down alot of people are screaming.
Im not stupid because how could the screams sound the same whenever they launch the ride.

I have a few new ones:

1. The roaring of Bull going into its first tunnel.
2. Demon's lift hill

WORST Coaster sound... People puking. It makes me almost puke!

Demon's lift hill releasing the car.

Best feeling ever: Sitting in the backrow of Raging Bull as you hit the first hill, unexplainable but I find a great amount of peace in it, it's beautiful.

Like some of you said, I love the LIMs, the chugging sound Whizzer makes, and the screams. I also like the whirring noise Orbit makes and the air compressor on Ricochet.
Eh.......I got nothing.
