Best Attraction Queue Music

[D.Silentu]

I'm inclined to agree with many on this list! One that seems to find it's way back into my mind is the Honey I Shrunk the Audience soundtrack:

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Bruce did some awesome work for Disney until Soarin' Over the CGI World.

 

[Little Green Men]

Anything at Epcot

I just wish they hadn't handcuffed Broughton to Jerry Goldsmith's ghost when they commissioned him to compose for it.

That may have been me! Both are from George Bruns. JB Overture is actually a recycled piece ("Serengeti Serenade") from Ford's Magic Skyway at the 64/65 World's Fair -- but before even that it began its start as unused piece from 1963's "Sword in the Stone!" They really did not waste anything back then!

Hahah yes that was you!! They sure didn’t! I had no idea about the JB overture. Nice find.

I think it’s an underrated score and a bright spot for the attraction. However it lacks the grandeur of Goldsmith’s.

Interesting point and while I think SoC is a beautiful soundtrack, perhaps they could've been a little more creative in composing the next soundtrack. Composers like John Williams and Hans Zimmer do a great job of that in any sequels they work on. See TDK series and Star Wars. The captured emotion is the same, the music similar - but it's not.

SatW sounds exactly like SoC, with maybe a new instrument or two according to the scene. I see what they were trying to do but I don't think the payoff was worth it.

Nobody's mentioning the poor Matterhorn!

I did!

Isn't that the same music used for the mountain climber game on the Price is Right?

The new soundtrack is like that America scene in IASW where for a brief moment it just sucks the life out of everything. There's just something artificial and inorganic about the new score (and the ride in general). The whole thing bums me out, I really wanted to like 'World' because I honestly had become a little bored with 'California.' Hindsight is 20/20 I guess!

As long as there are motif's referencing Jerry Goldsmith's score, it's hard to keep the original Soarin' out of mind and judge its successor on its own.

 

[Kramerica]

The pirates of the Caribbean flute tune that gently plays in the background is something that really connects with me. I always love disneyworlds space mountain tune “Star Tunnel” it’s powerful enough to me that it can entirely change my mood while quietly playing in the background on a crazy day. It is really short though, so a loop gets repetitive.

Last few times I’ve been to DL i’ve noticed that the Holiday music box queue music now plays even during regular HM. Anybody know when that happened?

Really? When and where exactly? I've never noticed that.

Are you talking about the music at the FP machines?

 

[dweezil78]

Are you talking about the music at the FP machines?

Yeah...it always plays at the FP machines. Although the FP machines used to only be open for HMH until like a year or so ago, so I guess that could be why it seems recent.

 

[BasiltheBatLord]

Oh I thought there were speakers in the queue playing it. I guess not.
