Another 2 year old topic being brought back eh?.....Oh well.
Quoted for... agreement I guess =P
The only song that really makes me think of Top Thrill is Republica's Ready to Go, for obvious reasons. A couple metal songs with fast drumming would work, but I think Ready to Go gets the job done greatly.
2008 - Games (Area 3/Scales)
2009 - Games Supervisor
2010 - Season pass holder.
I can hardly believe I didn't bring this up before...
When I did my Dragster video, the Beach Boys classic single, "Shut Down" seemed the obvious choice, for so many reasons... :)

That was a real rollback.
Everything in that video was shot during the 2003 season...most of it during the early part of the 2003 season, including some material shot on the media preview day, when the trains were missing their second cars. I think I had the editing done before they added the extra seats to the last car.
Oh, and apart from the obvious (fades, keys, audio mixes, and one shot with the camera turned sideways) the only effects I used were to take some of the stuff I shot in 4:3 and blow it up to 125% then crop it to fit the 16:9 frame. That was probably about a third of the total footage; and of course *you* don't notice the loss of resolution because what you're watching on the Web is then resized to 50% and compressed to MPEG-4 for "broadcast".
Now that I have satisfied both of the video geeks and confused everybody else...glad you liked it! :)
