Favorite sounds of CP

I was recently watching a Coasterbob62 video and heard the roar of Raptor. It made me think of my favorite sounds/smells of the park.

i think a top 3 would be
Raptor
the chain lift of magnum
mean streak

My favorite sound is Demon Drop. :(

I love the sound of the Maverick accelerating.

The train whistle on George. Very rare to be on the tracks, but you know when it is because the sound is totally different!

The sounds walking the boardwalk from the beach entrance, all the way to sandcastle!

The sound iron dragon makes when the train engages the chain on the first lift hill.

Hearing thunder canyon filling up with the lake water.

The sounds and smell of dodgem.

I will have to go with the TTD launch and the sound of the "engines" revving.

I love the sounds of the rides testing right before the park opens; especially Raptor! I wonder what noises Gatekeeper will have to offer??

I love the sound of the engine noises on TTD. Those have to be my favorite. And the noise it makes when it takes off. I also love the noise of raptor when coming into the park.

Favourite sound is probably the jet whoosh of Dragster's launch as it gets close to and shoots up the tower. Followed by the screech of WT peeling out of the station. I think the hollow clanking of Magnum's going up the lift also is a big fave. Dragster's launch, by far, tho, is my favorite sound.

The music from the Halloweekends Parade!

If we are talking strictly rides, then I really like the sound of the air pressure in Power Tower (I believe that the big tanks are pressurizing, but I could be wrong).

Definitely the sound of WT's LIMs. I also love the roar of Mantis. For me, Mantis is more fun to watch and hear than it is to ride :)

Wildcat's old anti roll backs.

I loved reading through this thread, so thanks Frog Hopper King for bringing it back. Now I'm really itching for opening day. Anyway, here is a list of some of my favorite sounds of the park:

- TTD's launch

- Raptor's roar

- WT's launch

- The station music from MF (I even have it on my iPod)

- the compressed air of Power Tower

- Skyhawk's screech as it slows down

- Magnum's lift hill

- Mantis when it's at the top of the lift hill and goes around the first curve

- The former rumbling coming from DT if you were standing near it

- The random game/booth sounds effects

- The overhead screams of people riding MF as you're walking along the Frontier Trail

- The combination of sounds as soon as you step out of your car in the parking lot; the music, Raptor, people talking, the distant noises of other rides and coasters...

Seriously, there are still 60 more long days to go?

I would have to go with the silence of the Millenium train as you climb the hill. The silence just builds the suspense (No one seems to talk or scream on the way up when I go on it).

Also when you are waiting to be launched on Dragster, you hear the hiss of the break fins going down which lets you know you are about to go .

Mantis & Raptor's Roar, TTD Launch, and lets not forget Skyhawk!

Meanstreak sounds mean and Magnum's lift has that old chain lift heavy sound to it.

Has to be the roar of Raptor.
Also the "oof" of the ride op catching the skyride car as it comes into the station.

Don't remind us. The next two months need to go by a lot faster.

I have to say I also love the sound of Magnum's lift hill. Always love the sound of an Arrowdynamics lift hill.

If it's anything like X Flight and Wild Eagle, it'll be very, very, very.........VERY quiet. It will probably be the quietest coaster at the park.

Here's some videos to get an idea.

Anyone know if X Flight's track is filled with sand? It is very quiet for a B&M but I can't find documentation on if it is filled with sand.

Every year, during my first visit to the park, it's the sound of the chain taking hold of Magnum that drives it all home.
