Fav Coaster Sounds? - CoasterBuzz

Deffinatly the phantoms revenge going up the lift hill, the sound a wooden coaster makes when traveling at great speeds, and the B&M roar of thier coasters.

Also air brakes releasing at the beggining of some coasters.

When the ride-op says all clear. :)

Touch The Sky

I love the sound of people trying to mutter "move I have to puke" with half a mouth full of vomit and they can only get out "moo i hap t pppuu-bwaaawwck". :) God I love that... ;)

As far as the rides themselves...hehehe, gotta love the creak of woodies as you hurl around the helix on an out-and-back. Shivering Timbers anyone??? Anyone...? :)

-----------------
I've just seen the future...what was I saying?

The SOB lift hill and the sound it makes while it ia traveling at the bottom of the first hill. B&M roar as well

Agent Johnson, I'm with ya, but I like the sound of the thunderbolt as I gulp down some potato patch fries..the racer is really cool but the thunderbolt is just plain awesome.....

Jack Rabbit at Kennywood when it double dips into the tunnel. RUMBLE...Silence...RUMBLE-ReVeRbErAtE

I, personally would DEFINATELY have to say the sound of the LIM's launch for Superman at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure.

That is just something I cannot get tired of nor find annoying... just genius! (even if it wasn't intended).

The Brakes!

Lift hills: The sounds of a PTC train climbing a lift hill is a great nostalgic sound. A great noisy Arrow lift hill also reminds me of summer. I personally think B&M lifts are too quiet (except for inverteds, which are really loud for some reason). And then there's the sound of MF's lift........

Roars: The roar of a woodie, especially a fast, powerful one, always pumps me up for the impending ride. Villain, Cornball, and the Mean Streak (even though the ride is a huge disappointment) come to mind here. B&M's trademark roar is also great. I have not yet ridden one of their coasters with sand-filled supports--the lack of sound will probably be eerie.

Brakes: I love the sound of the rapid-fire brakes on Arrow coasters. The ending brakes on Phantom's Revenge and the mid-courses on Shockwave and GASM are great examples. Intamin's magnetic brakes have a neat futuristic sound, also.

-----------------
I get the feeling there's a conspiracy over at King's Island to remove anything that has "K" or "C" in its initials.

Definetely S:ROS at sfdl's lift hill. It starts out at a regular speed as the train attaches to it, then VROOOOOM! it speeds up and the train sort of "launches" up the hill pretty fast

-----------------
i don't feel like putting anything here

I love the sound of the brakes in the station releasing because you know your ride is just beginning. The chain lift on any coaster because it is a relaxing sound knowing you are in the prescence of roller coasters. Also, the sound of MF thundering past you on the bunny hill while waiting in the station.

-----------------
I can't think of a good signature.

The ring of the bell and the brakes lowering on the dispatch of the Racer. The jet engine sound of SP and PR as it flies through the circuit. Double dip of the Rabbit. The scream of the LIMs on S:UE.

Although its not one of the greatest rides, I love Mean Streak's "scream" from its wheel on ungreased track.

-----------------
I went to Sandusky, but there was no Callahan factory

Lim launches. B&M Roar. People screaming. People don't seem to scream as much as they used to.

My least fav. sound: The silenced B&M's. Even though it's amazing that they could silence the coasters so much, I do like to hear the roar of the train from places more than 10 ft. from the track. (unless it's B:TR style where you can't hear yourself think anywhere near the coaster, ever)

-------------
AC?, RB?, MF?, DD?, PR? Who can keep track of it all?

i love the sound of The Chiller. that track just sounds mean. but my favorite sound is the B&M roar. especially when a train does a flyby and you have to cover your ears. its just awesome.

ROCK! http://www.fuzerocks.com

The B&M roar is easly my favorite park sound at this time. Others have listed many more I enjoy. The sound of a train passing through a magnetic braking system is a good one also. The Intamin Drop towers provide a similar sound also.

I love all the small little sounds also. Things like the harness release hiss on the B&M inverteds

"Psssshhhhh"

The small little hisses the GCI brakes make on Lightning Racer.

The first time I heard the lift hill for X, I began to smile. It kind of had that classic Arrow lift sound, but much bolder. The sounds the train makes while it is doing it's gyrations is awesome also.

I also love the lauch sound of Superman: The Escape as well as the final braking sound.

LIM's, the chain lift, MF while in the queue (it kinda reminds you on a freight train or Amtrak). One of the sounds that wasnt my favorite, but sort of added to the experience, was being able to hear SOB's chain half way to Vortex.

-----------------
Somedays it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.

The sound of a train going through a Schwarzkopf box-beam loop, especially Mindbender at SFOG.
