Man, if someone would just take the time now and filter all of these and post it as one list, then that would be nice...

The group is ELO, Electric Light Orchestra. Awesome group IMO.

They also play Major Tom by Peter Schilling in the Magnum line. Another 80's One Hit Wonder!!!

I have over 60 of the 70-something songs played in Frontier Town and Frontier Trail. Warning: they're all country. ;)

I know of a few songs played on the other midways, maybe one or two on the boardwalk, and a few in queue lines. I know the DJ in line for Millennium Force would end with an hour of Michael Jackson ("Billie Jean" and "Thriller" ending the day) or Motown. The DJ in line for Raptor would go out with some New Kids on the Block songs. Blah.

2003 Raptor ride count: 246
Raptor Rules the Sky.
Environmental Services knows who I am!

I heard they have legal copies waiting for you of the songs at your nearest store that cells CDs.

One can also get legal copies of most, for much more reasonable prices, from your friendly neighborhood Rhapsody service. $10/month for all the music you can eat.

I heard this song many times in line for Magnum and Raptor. Our House by Madness.

Ahh, how could I forget "Billie Jean" in line for Millennium Force. I think it was 10-12 rides all in different days that I heard that song in line. It was almost like a tradition.

Raptor, TTD, and some laser light show music I have... but you can't have it, because A) it's copywrited, and B) The RIAA is after everyone who trades/downloads music.

Who could forget all the glorious music by Yanni that's played throughout the main section of the park? Some you would easily recognize are:

"Magus"
"Rain Must Fall"
"Everglade Run" -- the first song always played directly after the Summer Spectacular

Sorry to bring this back, but this year, and last year, whenever I was in the front of the park, by the arcade, Raptor, I would always hear this one Jazz song, it had a pretty good beat to it. Does anybody know what the song is? Thanks if you do.

thank you steelmonsters. that song got caught in my head last summer and i didn't know who made it. does anybody know how i can get that song?

Spent over 2 days looking and lots of wrong songs to find this one...

Capella - Move It Up

Plays around TTD during opening hours.
I had to find it.

Warning: Severe thread necro. ;) I figured rather than start a new topic, I'd just continue on this one that I found on Google while searching.

I've been going into work early for the last few nights, which means I get to actually hear Raptor's ear-splitting music blasting just a few hundred feet away before they shutdown for the night. One of the songs that seems to rotate every night is a medley that includes Jason Mraz' "I'm Yours" and some version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (the same one that Scrubs used on an episode, I believe), along with possibly one or two more songs, though I'm not familiar with them.

It's now stuck in my head every day and night, and I've been wondering if anyone else knows whether this was custom-created by CP, or if it's available somewhere on the internet. Yes, I tried Shazam on my phone, but it couldn't pick it up.

Figures. This is what happens when a thread ends with a nuclear meltdown.
