Drayton Ride Music?


Doesn't this sound familiar on a certain launch coaster...

As much as we all love the recent investments at Drayton Manor, I've noticed that all the new rides music by Looping is just stock or ripped from YouTube, aside from Adventure Cove FM, though that's more of an area than a specific ride. To think this park used to have wonderfully quirky, yet simple custom music for its rides, Excalibur and Pirate Adventure Come into mind (gosh those were memorable soundtracks). Anyone remember when the entrance plaza had that custom banjo-like soundtrack? That area has been playing stock music for ages now, heck, most of the park is playing what I presume is just a playlist of random pop music.

I really do miss the days when the park had custom music. The only ride I can think of that has custom music still is The Haunting. One. Ride. Out of 50...

It does make me concerned if they ever want to do anything with Pirate Adventure. Imagine if the new music was all just generic Pirate music from YouTube. Personally I'd just reuse the original music, it was so iconic, unconventional, and really gave the ride it's own identity. But hey-ho!

I suppose this is your youtube channel too? Yoube got some good custom made music on here, especially Accelerators soundtrack. Keep up the good work!

I reckon Drayton Manor should have its own customised music, I'm a music composer myself and I've been making music for their areas and rides, Instead of using stock music all the time

Your best chance of getting involved with the park would be dropping them an email / trying to get in contact

They work with all kinds of companies :) doesn't hurt to shoot your shot with it.

Yeah that is true, I have done one soundtrack inspired by Gold Rush right before it opened

Posted this yesterday on Sheriff Showdowns thread, but I'll post it here too due to it being an appropriate thread, but Bobbejaanland just uploaded one of the soundtracks that play in El Paso Special on Spotify.

Credit goes to Golding Leisure Design.


Notice how similar it sounds to Golden Nuggets? I'm not surprised to be honest since both rides were designed and made by the same people.
 
I would like to hear Pirates Adventure soundtrack without having to watch an on ride pov difficult to find that one

I think it was lost to the floods in 2020 unfortunately, i could be wrong though. Other copies probably exist somewhere. Would be nice if the Park put some soundtracks onto streaming though would be great to hear some of the older Haunting bits properly.
 
Hi there everyone,

With the 75th anniversary of the Park now in full swing, me and @Vidmaster have been working on something that we haven't seen anyone else online attempt, and it's about G-Force.

When G-Force shut in 2018, the music it played wasn't actually the original 2005 Mix, same with the video that used to play in the indoor Queue! After months of searching and from pure memory, we managed to track down not only the original music, but also the original media that used to be projected in the queue (Funny, the software for that was also Called G-Force). G-Force would've been 20 next month if it was still standing and Operating.

So now, after all the hard work, we present you the original G-Force soundtrack, now uploaded on YouTube! Enjoy the techno nostalgia!
