New Atmospheric Soundtrack DHS Park Arrival

Working at the main gate area of DHS, I get to hear the background music there, over and over and over. Recently, they updated it. I recognized a couple tunes immediately-- Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Star Trek The Motion Picture. Also Indiana Jones is heard up front now. Some of the old tunes remain. There's a new one I cannot figure out, maybe you can help. It sounds nautical at first, maritime bells and whistles; eventually it gets to an interesting marimba-type section I would love to hear more of. Can anyone help me solve the mystery of the new movie theme tracks recently added at DHS Park Arrival?

Also, does anyone know who exactly decides what music plays atmospherically in the streets and other areas of the park?

Awww....
So James Horner's fabulous theme for 'The Rocketeer' is off the list now...?

Shucks.

:(

It was always cool to stroll into the Studios with that playing at the entrance.

Thanks for letting me know it's still currently playing.
That is like the 'un-official' theme for the Studios in my mind.

Also wondering now if James Horner's 'Avatar' theme is still included on the loop.
