Midway Music

Does anyone have a list of the music played on the midways? Pointxtreme.com use to have one, but the site is no longer active. Thanks in advance for all the help.

I know a few songs. TTD has Ready To Go, Cant Stop 55, Roller Coaster Of Love. Then theres the Cedar Point song they play a million times aday called Come On Get On To Cedar Point which is not that bad to hear but they have another one Cedar Point named but cant remember it. Theres Perfect Day another song.

Hmm, there's a Word DOC in my comp somewhere with that list. If no one posts it, I'll try and find it.

I think they change the list evey year. I know last year some of the songs being played on the main midway were:

modern woman - billy joel

all fired up - pat benatar

come go with me - expose

funky town - lipps inc.

love will save the day - whitney houston

hm. I know the snoopy one is by vince guaraldi trio.

Dont forget Love Shack!

yes, thank you. I remember hearing love shack in the past too. how could i have forgotten that one? lol

britney spears-toxic

3 doors down-when im gone

faith hill-this kiss

dance to the music-sly and the family stone

i know theres more...but i try to forget, haha.

Dont forget the Halloweekends soundtrack featuring:

and "O Fortuna" from "Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff.

Is it strange that in 2 years working at CP I never heard some of those songs... Especially the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song... Now there are some on there that I definitely heard... more than enough... (Modern Woman - Billy Joel), but I would say that at least half of those, I never heard.

You probably never realized it, when I worked at KP, I always tuned out most of the ambient sounds.
It's a work thing, you're busy focusing on your job, and in the meantime you 'tune' out everything else.

I don't think I should create a new topic for this one. While were at it, how about some of the music that is played in Soak City and on the beach walkway by The Breakers? Heres what I remember.

Surf City
Surfin' Safari
Hang On Sloopy

There is this one song I heard a lot on the main midway last year. It kept going back and forth from a banjo or similar instrument to some techno music. Anyone know what song this is?

Dont forget the Halloweekends soundtrack featuring:

The Halloween (movie) Theme

Dont forget Thriller! I think sometimes they have it on repeat and the song plays over and over and over again. Thats like the only song I hear on Halloweekends.

Is that the one that has the "LETS GOOOOO!" right before the techno part comes in? I have some faint memory of a Techno/Country hybrid song that had a very annoying voice yelling "Let's Go" before the tempo picked up...
