Songs perfect for accompanying rollercoaster rides

Forum for discussing the perfect song to accompany a ride on a rollercoaster

 

[Treeis]

I think Pendulum would be good for the really intense rides.

Eye of the tiger by survivor will be perfect for most rides.

Blasphemy coming right up. I like having 'heaven' as the backing music to TPR's Voyage POV, that pretty much sums up that ride for me.

I'd generally go for some kind of Rock song but i'm struggling for examples. Maybe 'Fuel' by Metallica could be on board audio for a Launched coaster.

Anything from the F-Zero soundtrack fits most thrill coasters.

[Chris Coasters]

My two favorites I think would be Eye of the Tiger and Kickstart My Heart.

 

[Nemesis of oblivion]

The Swarm for The Swarm

That never occurred to me, but you are definitely on to something there! I used to play a LOT of F-Zero X as a kid and I thought the music was sweet. Silence was my favorite... I think it would go best with a launched coaster like Storm Runner.

Run Like Hell by Pink Floyd, The Passenger by Iggy Pop, More Than A Feeling by Boston.

Sabotage - Beastie Boys

Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers (particularly sounds like a roller coaster with the intro drum roll and guitar riff)

Rock & Roll - Led Zeppelin

As mentioned by by CoastingChris, Kickstart my Heart by Motley Crue is another good one!

Ace of Spades - Motorhead.

This topic is pretty much the same idea, but nevertheless, almost anything Breakcore.

Or most of Squarepusher's newest album.

Pretty much anything with a build up for the climbhill (assuming that there is one) that kicks in for the first drop I'd think would be good.

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly.

 

[Mack]

Marilyn Manson - No Reflection: dance-able but industrial. For more of a darkly themed ride, a la X2, Oblivion, etc.
Nicki Minaj - Starships (don't hate)! For a major ride that lacks a darker theme (a la MF, basically any unthemed hypercoaster).
Skrillex - Reptile: Anything bizarre.

 

[Coasterfreck]

The obvious one for me would be "Life is a Rollercoaster" and "The Swarm"

I really enjoyed hacking H:RRR to play Stockholm Syndrome by Muse.
