Title: Favorite Sound at the Park


Ilovthevu' - May 25, 2007 01:08 AM (GMT)
What's your favorite sound at SFGAm? It could be anything. I have to credit SFStL for giving me the idea for this topic. So, that's for you over there. :D

For me, it would have to be the noise D Vu makes when it goes up the tower, and when it releases the train. That noise is something else. I like the BTR chain also. V2 is also a cool launch, but not my favorite. Away from SFGAm, it would have to be the Zipper.

Demon's first tunnel sounds, and away from GAm, Greezed Lightnin's horn and launch sounds.

I love the chain sound while going up the drop on the Demon and the announcements around the park like, "Thank you visiting Six Flags Great America, we hope to see you again soon, blah blah" It brings that SFGAm spirit. lol

Ilike the lifts, I like the sound going down the drop on Eagle and of course the music.

coasterkid92 - May 26, 2007 11:19 PM (GMT)
I love the sound of all the chain lifts.

sfgam123 - May 27, 2007 02:47 AM (GMT)
I love the sound of when V2 holds you at the back spike.

MrsVerticalVelocity - May 27, 2007 10:09 PM (GMT)
* Revie's start up sound
* V2's LIM screams
* techno played at various places throughout the park
* The sound of clicks when you go up lift hills
* Eagle's extreme scratchy/scrape sound that you hear while waiting for Bull
* The sound RC makes when the car becomes free to spin
* V2's sound when you stop on the back tower
* The vibration sound of that while you are waiting in line
* The funky and annoying sounds of several games...I still love these sounds, even though they bug the hell out of me LOL. If I didn't get to hear them, my day at SFGAm wouldn't be complete.
* People screaming on roller coasters.
* The sound KC makes before you flip
* The instrumental "Red River Valley" played in Southwest Territory
* Just the plain 'ol wonderful sound of roller coasters in motion
* People's change falling out of their pockets
* Viper when it drzzles...the train on the track sometimes makes a constant squeak
* When you stand in one place and hear more than one song at a time!
* When people attempt karaoke

CoasterAndrew15 - May 28, 2007 09:36 PM (GMT)
when someone messes up on the games, and you hear "D'oh"! I also like the train whistle, the carousel song, and the lifts.

That is the sound of brake 1 opening. If you want to hear a sound thats "something else" watch a miscatch ;).

Ilovthevu' - May 31, 2007 02:31 AM (GMT)
^I don't like that sound of the miscatch. :(

HollisterGuy16 - June 1, 2007 01:56 AM (GMT)
-Déjà Vu miscatch
-V2 holding brake
-When sitting in the back row of V2, and you go up the first tower the first time and you don't make it up the tower, and you head backwards and hear the LIMs screaming.
-Roller coasters in motion
-Déjà Vu going up the first tower. If you listen closely, the sound changes about 3 differant times. Once when it starts going backwards, then when it's at about a 45 degree angle, and then when it's vertical. It should kind of like: WRRRRRRUUUHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM ~CHHH~. Lol
-Everything in the park basically except when people say "Excuse me" when they're trying to line jump.

I am very pleased with the mix of Theme to Pop music int he park this year. Those old derges are just that old and tired. People respond to music they are familiar with. Seems Jewel and most other stores have caught onto this.

MrsVerticalVelocity - June 8, 2007 12:07 AM (GMT)
I love when they play "All that She Wants" by Ace of Base. I think its the Air Bush T shirt place by V2 that playes it a lot. If its not the shirt place, its something in that area!(Yeah I'm in that area a lot) :D

Tiki - February 15, 2010 09:48 PM (GMT)
The ticket takers saying; "Welcome to Six Flags" on opening day is my favorite sound of all!

amusementparknut - February 16, 2010 02:20 AM (GMT)
Call me old fashioned but I love the carousel hum and music
The roar of batman near the East River Crawler
The east River Crawler's whistle
The Demon going into the tunnel
The waves on Roarin Rapids
The Train Whistle
Ricochet flinging out its arms
Fiddler's Fling's brakes
People Screaming on Power Dive

Demon_10 - February 16, 2010 03:41 AM (GMT)
-Demon's "cccraaaaahhh" sound at the top of the lift

-All of Whizzer's sounds

-Train whistle

-Fiddler's music (On the train and STT also I think)

-Sounds at the front gate

-Bull rushing down the first drop

-The Carousel Song

superbleachbrothers - February 16, 2010 04:00 AM (GMT)
When Raging Bull first hits on the chain lift, it make this beast-like sound.

Tiki - February 16, 2010 06:21 PM (GMT)
I also like the Doppler Effect roar and screams as the coaster passes overhead at the entrance to Hurricane Harbor. (Although I am sure the day will come when we get puked on from someone on that thing.)

amusementparknut - February 18, 2010 01:32 AM (GMT)
and it will probably be from me lol

Tiki - February 18, 2010 12:39 PM (GMT)
I better get an umbrella!

Luxornv - February 18, 2010 11:10 PM (GMT)
The launch of Vertical Velocity.

david - February 25, 2010 05:28 AM (GMT)
- V2's LIMs
- Kit Hoover's voice :)
- I like to move it.
- KC screeching
- Dedooooooooododododo on Ragin' Cajun'
- The Lift return at the end of any coaster.
- American eagle at the end f the first drop.
- "Pardon the interruption in service, but we are currently facing a temporary downtime. Please be patient as we attempt to fix the problem" Then they try to keep people calm. :P
- No screams near Superman
- People moaning about S:UF's line.
- Stupid ride operators at Rue Le Dodge
- We like to party

- The breaks on Greezed Lightnin'!

david - January 20, 2011 05:39 AM (GMT)
As of today:

- V2's LIMs
- Kit Hoover's voice
- KC screeching
-Demon's Black Train disengaging the lift :]
- Stupid ride operators at Rue Le Dodge

Yes, I've encountered many stupid ride ops, but Rue always has the worst.

Nails on a chalkboard.

On another note: V2 and Demon's startup horn. Ragin Cajun's dispatch alarm is also pretty awesome.

superbleachbrothers - January 20, 2011 01:45 PM (GMT)
I also have other favorite sounds at GA.

* Carousel music
* STT's bell ringing
* Whizzer lift hill
* V2 Launch
* TDK Trains
* B&M Coasters roaring

Tiki - January 20, 2011 08:28 PM (GMT)
The bell clanging that means the big bucket of water is getting ready to tip over at Skull Island.

amusementparknut - January 20, 2011 11:05 PM (GMT)
1. Train whistle
2. Any coaster lift hill
3. Water in water rides rushing
4. Carousel music
5. Popcorn popping
6. Hiss on King Chaos before it starts spinning

Tiki - January 21, 2011 02:55 AM (GMT)
See? This is why I love this kind of subject!
Until you mentioned the hiss from King Chaos or the click, click, click of a coaster going up I hadn't really thought about those things. But I do like those sounds!
I can hear the coaster clicking from Skull Island at HH and I do like the loud hiss on King Chaos too.
