Bus to Epcot - Walt Disney World Transportation - HQ Safety Announcement (Vintage) Listen to Theme Parks 2023-11-09 | This is a vintage safety announcement used around 2010 on Disney World Transportation busses leaving for EPCOT.
Spaceship Earth - Calm Descent Music Loop - Bruce Broughton (ReRecording) Listen to Theme Parks 2023-08-23 | Epcot´s Spaceship Earth allows a time travel through the history of communication from its beginning to the digital age. The orchestral soundtrack for this attraction (composed by Bruce Broughton) consists of several one-minute music loops. Some of them are musically synchronized, running at the same tempo and using the same chords but variations on the main theme and new countermelodies/arrangements. This allows to capture the dynamic and spirit of the scenes the ride vehicles are passing.After exiting the planetarium dome the vehicles start to descend back to the ground floor - the epic music gets calmer while riders are invited to "create their future" and answering multiple-choice questions on the display in front of them.The music of this part of the ride was not released officially, we did a new recording of this soothing instrumental waltz. When the "Welcome to your future"-videos are played back on the displays the music transitions into another loop that is musically linked to the descent music, but has a more playful arrangement / orchestration.
Poseidon´s Fury - Islands of Adventure - Interior Queue Music (Stereo Re-Recording) Listen to Theme Parks 2023-04-15 | Entering the dark catacombs of Poseidon´s Temple guests hear a short music loop that perfectly captures the foreboding ambiance of the area. Since this soundtrack from the queue area is unreleased we present this new recording of the music, paired with a 3D animatic that shows a virtual POV "walking" from the oracle chamber to the main show area of the attraction. Previsualization sequences like this are often used during the development of attractions. Using 3D models like this the view of the human eye can be "simulated" which allows planers to work out important sightlines and other issues like capacity, flowthrough, etc.
Extraterrorestrial Alien Encounter - Preshow March (Stereo Rerecording) Listen to Theme Parks 2023-03-10 | Thanks to the wonders of X-S Technologies we were able to recreate this piece of music heard in the second preshow of the now-extinct Alien Encounter attraction at Walt Disney World. After an audio-animatronic host called "S.I.R." presented the advantages (and risks) of X-S teleportation technologies he ushered visitors into the main show room. The cheesy march presented here was heard at the end of his introduction.This piece of music is an example for a so-called fill-and-spill-music, a track that is especially created to be used while audiences enter or exit a theme park attraction (mostly used in show type attractions). In this example you can here how the music conveys some kind of steady movement to usher the guests into / out of the main show room while also creating foreboding atmosphere by not using bright happy major chords. The main melody provides a slightly feeling of unease, partly by often using minor fifths and thirds.
Gaston´s Tavern - Complete Music Loop (No Park Sounds) - Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Listen to Theme Parks 2023-03-03 | This is the complete loop playing in and around Gaston´s Tavern at Walt Disney World´s Magic Kingdom.The track features several tunes from the Beauty and the Beast animated movie and the stage musical, including "Me", "Maison des Lunes" and (of course) "Gaston".All instrumental versions were specially arranged for a small ensemble with flutes, violin, guitar, accordion, tuba and percussion - providing a contrast to the music loop playing around the "Be our Guest" restaurant, which features more orchestral-sounding performances of the same tunes. (Check out this loop in our channel youtu.be/PnI54L-YxpI)We recorded this music in 2014 under difficult circumstances... would have been a lot easier if we were "as big as Gaston"...
Briefing Room Music - Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast (Stereo Rerecording) Listen to Theme Parks 2023-02-18 | Entering the briefing room a Buzz Lightyear animatronic gives guests instructions for the ride and how to defeat Evil Emperor Zurg. Heard in this part of the queue is a special music loop that features less instruments than the version released on the official theme park albums.We faithfully recreated this music loop (originally arranged by George Wilkins) and also included some alternate variations of the march that is based on the song "Strange Things".One of the featured instruments heard in the latter half of the clip is the theremin which was used in several alien-related film scores back in the 50s and 60s. Its "gliding" sound is often associated with strange extraterrestrial worlds and is used here to establish the mood for the guest's journey to "Planet Z".
Islands of Adventure - Jurassic Park River Adventure Exit Safety Announcement Listen to Theme Parks 2023-02-04 | This is the short exit safety spiel heard at the end of the Jurassic Park River Adventure at Islands of Adventure (Universal Resort Orlando). Most theme park attractions have audio tracks that are triggered by ride vehicles entering the unload station or are running on a continous loop. This clip is an example for a more "neutral" audio announcement that delivers the important messages but does not feature narration that stays "in character" and therefore perfectly fits the storyline / overall tone of the attraction (check out youtu.be/_u6fZFvlV6Q as an example for a more story-based safety instruction).
EPCOT - Living with the Land Barn Theater Guitar Music - Variations on a theme by George Wilkins Listen to Theme Parks 2023-01-27 | One of the most sought-after theme park music tracks is the music loop playing in the Barn Movie Theater at the "Living with the Land" ride at EPCOT. Sadly this music (composed by George Wilkins) has not been released officially. While we could record the narration heard on the boats of the attraction we couldn´t obtain the original music loop. Here we present an exclusive re-recording of the guitar piece, also including some instrumental variations on the theme. Hopefully this will help you relax while you are "living with the land"....The stock footage showing different aspects of agriculture is from www.pixabay.com.
Moteurs... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular Park Wide Announcement - Walt Disney Studios Paris Listen to Theme Parks 2022-12-21 | This is the announcement in English, Spanish, Dutch, German and French that was played in the park to draw guests to the next performance of the now-closed stunt spectacular.

Pete´s Silly Sideshow Barker Audio - Walt Disney World Storybook Circus Listen to Theme Parks 2022-11-19 | These are some of the announcements from Pete´s Silly Sideshow at Walt Disney World´s Magic Kingdom. Peg-Leg Pete (quite likely voiced by actor Jim Cummings) acts as a barker to lure guests into his sideshow tent located at the far corner of Storybook Circus.Mixed in the background is a snippet of the area music loop playing around the Dumbo carousel and the Casey Junior Water Playground.
Europa Park Volo Da Vinci OnBoard-Music and Keep Moving Announcement Listen to Theme Parks 2022-10-27 | This is the music playing on board the Volo Da Vinci attraction at Europa Park, Germany. Guests board a vehicle that could have easily been designed by Leonardo da Vinci and "fly" over several other attractions like the fairy tale boats and the "Jim Knopf" train ride. Riders are encouraged to use bike pedals to move the vehicle along. The ride is accompanied by a baroque-sounding music score, included at the end of this video is the short announcement by "Leonardo Da Vinci", who tells the guest in German (with Italian accent) to keep pedaling.

Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure Preshow French - Walt Disney Studios Paris Listen to Theme Parks 2022-10-12 | This is the french version of the preshow for the Spider-Man Webslingers attraction (called Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure in Disney Studios Paris). Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) welcomes you to the Open House to show you the newly-invented spiderbots. Soon things are getting out of control: The bots are duplicating themselves and Spider-Man is called to save the research facility...As usual in Disneyland Resort Paris the narration switches between French and English, Peter Parker´s dialogue is also translated on a display right next to his working table. This shows how attraction creators can use different audio and visual tools/tricks to transport important information that is needed by visitors to understand the backstory.
Toy Story Playland RC Racers Queue Music Loop - Walt Disney Studios Paris Listen to Theme Parks 2022-10-10 | Take a stroll through Toy Story Playland and listen to the music loop playing around the queue area of the RC Racers attraction at Walt Disney Studios Paris. The loop contains orchestral arrangements of songs like "We belong together", "Strange Things" and "You´ve got a friend in me", with the last appearing - in a quite unusual way - as a 3/4 waltz. The task of playing the main melodies is often divided between alternating solo instruments or instrument groups, which keeps the arrangements interesting while repeating verse and chorus multiple times (without using the varying song lyrics).NOTE: The video also shows locations where this loop is NOT played.
Jurassic Camp Music Loop - Islands of Adventure - Universal Resort Orlando Listen to Theme Parks 2022-09-30 | This is the music loop used around the Jurassic Camp playground area and the "Pteranodon Flyers" attraction at Islands of Adventure Orlando. This clip shows how sound designers can improve the immersive experience in a theme park by enhancing the landscaping with fitting "soundcapes". In this case loudspeakers that are "hidden" in the greenery do not only play the aforementioned music but also sound effects of exotic animals etc.Note: This video also shows locations in the park where other music loops are played.
Bus to Disney´s Hollywood Studios On-Board Announcements - Walt Disney World Resort Listen to Theme Parks 2022-09-28 | These announcements were used in 2017 on the Disney-owned busses to Hollywood Studios.

Spider-Man W.E.B Adventure HQ On-Ride Soundtrack - Walt Disney Studios Paris Listen to Theme Parks 2022-09-24 | This is the on-board soundtrack from Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure, the new interactive dark ride at Disneyland Resort Paris´ Avengers Campus. Visitors help Spiderman (Tom Holland) fighting Spider-Bots that overrun the Stark facility, targeting, shooting and pulling objects is done via arm movements. The soundtrack is very similar to the version of the attraction in the US, but the character vocals switch between French and English. This multi-langual approach is used in many theme park attractions around the world. In this case the goal is to provide french and english speaking visitors (who make up the majority of the park guests) with the needed information about what is going on and what they are supposed to do in the gameplay. The music contains new arrangements of themes from the Spiderman movies scored by Michael Giacchino. This video also includes the hold-up and restart spiels, that are played when your ride is temporarily delayed.
Walt Disney World - Magic Kingdom - Be our Guest Restaurant Exterior Music Loop Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-25 | As our final release for this 2019 series: This is the complete music loop playing at the entrance of the Be our Guest restaurant at Walt Disney World Orlando. It features songs from the Beauty and the Beast animated movie and the stage musical re-arranged and recorded especially for the restaurant.If you visit the restaurant you will recognize that a lot of the ambiance is created by the soundtracks played in different areas inside - in fact there are two music loops that run in-sync with each other, allowing smooth acoustic transitions if guests wander around in the rooms. One loop features an orchestra while the other has the same music tracks arranged and played by a music box. By having similar tempo and key structures the music allows an acoustic backdrop that doesn't seem to "chaotic".
Disneyland Paris - Alice´s Curious Labyrinth - French Character Voices Soundtrack Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-24 | This clip features all character vocals and sound FX you can hear in the walkthrough attraction at Disneyland Paris. After entering the labyrinth through a gloomy tunnel with eerie soundtrack, guests encounter the Cheshire Cat and other creatures at Tulgey wood. At a popular photo-spot the smoking caterpillar is talking to the visitors. The Queen of Hearts and various guards await guests who dare to go deeper into the maze.The music in this attraction shows that sometimes it's more effective to completely re-record material instead of using existing tracks. The original soundtrack for the animated feature "Alice in Wonderland" changes tempo and mood quite fast. This fits the film but makes it hard to create background loops that stay true to a certain mood for more than few seconds.Film composer John Debney arranged this music (partly for the revamped Alice ride in California) using the original tunes and drawing inspiration from the movie orchestration. This solution also solved another problem: Back in the 1950s Disney didn't archive the original music-only tracks from the orchestra recording session - only the mixes with sound fx were stored.
Disneyland Paris - Star Tours The Adventure continues - Safety Video / Consignes de sécurité EN/FR Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-23 | This is the safety video shown in the queue for the Star Wars-themed simulator ride in Disneyland Paris.The pre-show basically uses the same video footage as the American Disney parks. In the Paris version the female droid speaks French and switches to English for a short segment, in the US versions the robot does the announcement in English and switches to Spanish for a few lines. In both parks the goal is to deliver the important information to the two "nationalities" that seemingly make up the majority of guests.Note: This clip also contains custom-made music cues not used in the attraction.
Europa Park - Panoramabahn Soundtrack / Steam Train Announcements Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-22 | The steam trains take visitors on a round trip through the German theme park, they stop at various stations related to European countries (Germany, England, Spain, Russia).The track features some of the on-board announcements in various languages as well as a spiel for extended park opening hours.

Walt Disney Studios Paris - Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop - Safety Spiel and Exit Spiel Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-21 | Located in Toy Story Playland, this attraction is a tamed-down, family-friendly version of a free-fall tower.

Universal Islands of Adventure - Seuss Landing - Zax Bypass Loop and Narration Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-20 | This is the soundtrack for the two Zax figures at Seuss Landing at Islands of Adventure. The narration - based on the poem by Dr. Seuss - is delivered by various voice actors. This loop is musically-synched to various other loops in the area. While the overall melody and chord structure stays the same, the arrangement and instrumentation varies from loop to loop. In this soundtrack a version with "reduced" orchestration is used that leaves room for the vocal narration.Credits go to Agent P for his contribution.
Walt Disney Studios Paris - Tapis Volants / Flying Carpets over Agrabah Complete Ride Soundtrack Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-19 | The Flying Carpet Ride in Walt Disney Studios Paris puts guests on a fictional movie set with Genie as the director. Before the ride starts, safety spiels in French and English are heard, followed by instructions how to handle the carpets. During the ride Genie gives stage directions in English and French, he has three commentary tracks in each language which are used alternatively (For this track related French and English commentaries are mixed together for better comparison). Big Band and organ arrangements of "Prince Ali", "One Jump Ahead" and "A Friend like me" are used as ride music in rotation. The ride concludes with the exit spiels in French and English. This is an example how modern audio software in theme parks can help keep the soundscapes interesting for guests staying longer in one area: The playback system used at the attraction allows to combine the aforementioned music and voice over tracks which creates more variety.
Europa Park - Whale Adventures Northern Lights Soundtrack GER Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-18 | Whale Adventures is a boat ride where you shoot with water canons on targets next to the ride track.

Universal Islands of Adventure - Pandemonium Cartoon Circus Area Loop Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-03 | Located between Marvel Superhero Island and Toon Lagoon is an amphittheater-style arena which was formerly used for the "Pandemonium Cartoon Circus" stage show, a BMX-themed stunt show, TV show tapings and special events. This is the complete circus-style music loop playing in the exterior area in front of the arena.This video illustrates how some of the musical works that were originally created for the aformentioned stage-show (for example the song "The Circus is coming to Toon") are adapted and arranged as pure instrumental pieces. Played by a small brass-dominated ensemble this music conveys a "vintage" circus atmosphere while still maintaining an overall cartoon feeling that is omnipresent in the area next to the now-closed arena.
Disneyland Paris - Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin - Boarding Spiel EN / FR Listen to Theme Parks 2019-12-02 | Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast is an interactive shooting dark ride located at the entrance of Discoveryland.

Magic Kingdom - Mickey´s Philharmagic - Complete Soundtrack Listen to Theme Parks 2017-12-25 | This is the complete soundtrack for Mickey´s Philharmagic at Walt Disney World including two pre-show announcements by Minnie and stage manager Goofy that can be heard in the queue area.This show features Donald causing all kinds of mayhem as stagehand for a concert orchestra. Using the magical conductor hat he is "transported" into some well-known animated movies and relives scenes with Aladdin, the little Mermaid, Peter Pan and others. While the soundtrack uses many famous Disney songs and in some segments also orchestrations faithful to the original movie versions there are also some parts where you can clearly hear that the orchestra playbacks were newly recorded especially for this show. This allows the music arranger to adapt the tunes better to the action / timing on the screen, sometimes omitting parts from the original song versions and/or adding new "cartoon" musical counterpoints to fit Donalds antics. Also re-recording the material gives the audience a cohesive flow in terms of audio quality - if the show had used the original soundtrack recordings from the movies the difference in fidelity for example between "The Lion King" (recorded in the 1990s) and "Peter Pan" (1953) would have been quite obvious and a potential risk to draw guests "out" of the immersive experience.
EPCOT - Frozen Ever After - Interior Queue Music Loop Listen to Theme Parks 2017-12-24 | This is the complete music loop playing at the interior queue for Frozen Ever After at Epcot. It contains original material written for the loop as well as new arrangements of "Frozen" movie songs for small ensemble.Pictures shown in this video are by Theme Park Guy, released under CC-license.This recording contains acoustic watermarks.

Islands of Adventure - Marvel Superhero Island - Music Loop Listen to Theme Parks 2017-12-22 | This is the complete loop playing at the "main street" of Marvel Superhero Island. This clip shows how differently you can approach the supehero genre musically - the world of Marvel characters is brought to life here by driving rock songs that were custom-composed for the area. For comparison: Disney's Marvel themed lands in California and Paris parks use a mainly orchestral approach, heavily drawing themes from the movies released in the last two decades. (listen to a orchestral suite featuring music from the lands youtu.be/zEx6fYhlusM)Thanks to Agent P, pictures used in this video are by Wayne, kennard and Jeremy Thompson (released under CC-terms license).
Islands of Adventure - Jurassic Park - Calypso Loop Listen to Theme Parks 2017-12-21 | This is the complete music loop playing in the area around the entrance to "Jurassic Park River Adventure". It's a good example how to create fitting music for a landscape while also drawing from existing musical material. In this case John Williams´ famous Jurassic Park movie theme is turned into a calypso arrangement.Interesting side note: As a park guest in this area you are supposed to feel like a visitor at Jurassic Park and encounter similar dinosaurs like in the movie. Although the human characters in the films never "heard" the Jurassic Park theme as diegetic music (music that comes from a "explainable" source like a radio or visible orchestra), the melody is now part of the official background soundtrack of the park.
Islands of Adventure - Seuss Landing - Music Loop Listen to Theme Parks 2017-12-20 | The wacky world of Dr. Seuss has a diverse soundtrack: At least six loops play in-sync in this area, all are based on the same tune but every loop has a different musical arrangement. This clip shows how a coherent musical soundscape is provided for a large themed area by using the same "musical structures" and chords in different loops. Using this trick produces an aural experience that does not seem boring but not like a cacophony either. A great example for this concept used in an attraction is the classic Disney ride "It's a small world".This mix features:- the complete music loop playing in the area around the Caro-Seusse-el (on left channel)- the complete music loop playing on the main street between Mulberry Street Store and the Circus McGurkus entrance (on right channel)Credits to Agent P who contributed to this mix.This video contains pictures by Jeremy Thompson and qwesy qwesy, released under CC-license terms.
