Dragsters cable, and the noise that happens when Raging Bull (and other various B&M sitdown coasters) hits the base of the lift, sounds like a freaking gong.

I love the patented B&M roar, especially the roar on Mantis. It just seems to be that much louder than any other B&M out there.

Yep, I definitely agree with that one. I remember when first riding Batman, the roar scared the crap out of me. Now I love it. I also love the screaming on coasters, especially if someone is really freaking out. Makes the ride more fun.

Yea I love those sounds too. One day Im going to bring a microphone to the park and just record all the noises you here when your at SFGAm. It would actually make a great podcast.

The sound of the catchcar on D Vu', the tower cable, and Mr. Freeze's noise coming out of the station along with the beep. :lol:

I agree with w00dland, the sound as Raging Bull is beginning the lift hill is an awesome sound, I also absolutely love Viper's chain. The other noise i like is that hum that V2 makes when it's on the holding brake on the second tower!
