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.

The Screams.

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.

I like all the above sounds(except for Dragster cause, i hate to admit it, I've never been to CP
) but probably my favorite is when brakes release.

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 chugging sound The Whizzer makes throughout its run.
If it walks like socialist, quacks like socialist, smells like a socialist, .... it's a socialist. Hope, and change we can believe in.

The best is Vu, just the entire ride.
Second is Dragster.
Third is the drop of Mean Streak, hitting all the trims.

Oh yeah, the sound of Vu too. And the sound of the brakes when it miscatches.

the LIMs on V2, definetely the most distinctive, and Demon's lift is good too.

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.

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!
