If you're into country, southwest had it all year
Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

Somewhere mid-season they changed the audio to say, "Welcome aboard Raging Bull, please pull the restraint towards you, as far as it will go." "Thank you for riding, please enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags Great America." Next season, It'l probly be Kit Hoover. hah.
^ At no point during the last 5 seasons has Raging Bull's auto-spiel been redone.
"Welcome to Raging Bull. Please pull your lapbar down as far as it will go. For those waiting to challenge Raging Bull, please move behind the yellow safety line as the gates in front of you will be closing. During the ride, remain seated with your arms and legs in side the car at all times with your head against the headrest. Please secure all personal belongings, especially hats and glasses. Enjoy your ride."
That wasn't changed, but they changed the return message. It no longer says challenge.
^ I can assure you that none of Bull's auto-spiels have changed.
"Welcome back. When the train stops, push down then pull up on your lapbar. Exit to your right and down the exit ramp. Thank you for challenging Raging Bull and enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags.
^ Oh snap...we gotta perfectionist here.
 quit ur complaining
I've probably stopped listening closely as the ops just holler over it. My bad
 In other news, a plane crashed! (nah. I'll stay on topic.)
I used to be able to remember Viper's quite well, but they don't play it anymore or they just talk over the lady. I think AE used to have a lady announce the stuff as well, but I haven't heard that in quite some time. Now its just the ride ops yelling things.
Man you shoulda heard Nitro's Ride Op, had the annoyingest voice ever, the fuzzy microphone didnt help either, and waiting 30 minutes just to ride in front, i thought i was going to go deaf. Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.

There is an African American lady that works Demon, and she starts barking and laughing evily. I love her! I gave her a hug after she left the ride. I then stalked her after.She works Demon, and Whizzer. I also saw a guy, kinda chubby that works Whizzer, and he calls me out in the announcment. I love him
In a friendly way of course.His announcement: " Welcome aboard the Whizzer! Please fasten the seatbelt, with the largest rider in the back, and the smaller in the front. Warning, David is aboard."
^He's awesome!

I KNOW! And he was working it during FF, and was calling it Whizzer: Revenge of the Swamp Thing!
Southwest did play country, but however, not today's new contemporary country. I liked Southwest back when it had the instrumental soundtrack. I liked the whole park better when it had their soundtracks. I was hoping they'd bring it back, but it doesn't look like its gonna happen. At least you got the Carousel soundtrack and then some downloadable on I-Tunes.
The sections would've been good if Southwest played instrumental western mixed in with old-school country music such as Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson. County Fair and Orleans would have Dixieland, Hometown would have 30s and 40s mixed in with folk. Yukon could have the dulcimer music heard in most little houseware stores, and Yankee would play, well, songs about New England and sailing of course. This would be my take. The park looked beautiful prior to the 100,000 commercials on display. Now it looks cheapened. R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
^Or mix that in somehow to what they have now. Make everyone happy

That'll work, as long as they return the old soundtracks.

Here is an easy way to put this
SHAPIRO LIKE MONEY ADS ARE MONEY SHAPIRO WANT MONEY SHAPIRO USE AD TO MAKE MONEY SHAPIRO NOW RICH
I understand that but couldn't they do both? Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

Playing non-generic music brings in tons of money, and the ads in between just help keep us afloat.
What really needs to be done is give Shapiro the boot.
"Welcome back. When the train stops, push down then pull up on your lapbar. Exit to your right and down the exit ramp. Thank you for challenging Raging Bull and enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags. Ok so those are both a bit wrong, and I shall now clear them up just so we don't have anyone learning the wrong way about all this: "Welcome to Raging Bull. Please pull your lapbar down as far as it will go. For those waiting to challenge Raging Bull, please move behind the yellow safety lines, as the gates in front of you will be closing. During your ride, please remain seated with your hands and feet inside the car at all times, and your head against the headrest. Please secure all personal belongings, especially hats and glasses. Enjoy your ride!" "Welcome back. When the train stops, push down then pull up on your lapbar. Please exit down the ramp to your right. Thank you for challenging Raging Bull, and enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags." Also the instrumental tracks were sweet. Some Back in the Saddle Again, Red River Valley...true classics that really brought the SWT to life and made it seem more real. Amazing how that worked, music that fit the themes of the area of the park to make it a more exciting experience, clever stuff. Themeing just isn't important to these people anymore. It can't be that themeing is too expensive, since they had the stuff, they just don't use it anymore! If you have it, and it makes the park more awesome, why not use it!?
^It's all about money. Why theme when you can advertise stuff within the park that cost money? I don't agree with it at all, but it is what the park is chosen.
Sadly, the only area you can really avoid the music without being in a queue is the Demon and Buccaneer Battle area. Which is odd as you have the 1970's style Demon song on one side with pirate music on the other.
BTR, HH, and SWT have "somewhat" themed soundtracks. Maybe A Great Day Is Just What You Need This Year

^I meant more of you still have to hear the random crap they play everywhere else in the park except that random spot. For some reason, they forgot to play the SF Radio crap there. I have no clue on Hurricane Harbor as I have never been there when it was open to the public.
HH, although sounds generic, isn't.
Not that it matters, everytime i hear any michael jackson, SFGAM comes into mind. Thought id just put that out. lol
I must agree. Whenever I hear Billie Jean or Thriller, Six Flags comes directly into mind!
