Theme park soundtracks that get stuck in your head

Annoyingly, the incessant Energylandia soundtrack. It is truly a terrible piece of Europop that’s seemingly played in every corner of the park. That said, it’s also impossible to remove from your conscious.

Well, actually I'd just managed to evict it from my brain, up until you'd reinserted it. Damn you.
 
I’ve got a new nomination for this. It might not be the most obvious choice, but it’s a hard one to get out of your head once you’ve listened to it for a few minutes:

Didn't release this thread exists,
As I was saying yesterday in the discord, almost everytime I go to Alton Towers I come back with a ride soundtrack stuck in my head,
The most common in order for me are
  • Nemesis - best overall theme park soundtrack. Not just because it's brilliant music wise but also because it fits the theme so well.
  • Oblivion - not far off nemesis and for similar reasons. It's also really catchy
  • Wicker Man - fits really well with the theme but it doesn't get as stuck in my head as it's a bit harder to hum than the older tracks.
 
I still get the old Fairytale Brook soundtrack stuck in my head on some days! That and any of the soundtracks at Efteling, most of their rides seem to have earworms, even the parkwide theme is catchy.
 
It’s not the sound track but love the commentary of the people mover. Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow.
Carousel of Progress had another song also when it 1st opened at the magic Kingdom to the sponsorship ran out and it charged back to the original song you hear now.
 
One that’s been in my head most of today:


The fact it was removed from the ride is frankly criminal. Some excellent lyrics around the 1:25 mark too…

I miss the days when it was seemingly mandatory for every new coaster to have a tacky pop song 😭

Not a fan of theme songs with lyrics? Don’t worry, Toverland has you covered. Enjoy this delightful sax cover:


The Animal Hospital VIBES are strong with this one.
 
One that keeps finding its way into my subconscious since visiting in September, is the exit music to Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. They re-covered the ride’s main theme Nothing Can Stop Us Now but as strange hold music!

I catch myself humming the first track at least once a week…
 
The Big Top music and the music in the chase scene of the HH always get stuck in my head.
 
Haven't got a top pick, but I've got a few runner ups as my personal favourites:

The Queue soundtrack from Pirates of the Caribbean. Just very calming and its got a lovely charm to it.

Colossus's old soundtrack. Makes the area feel really grand and mysterious with a force to be reckoned with. Way better than IMAScores version.

Bubbleworks Station music. What else do I need to say. Pure earworm perfection:

The Haunted Houses Vestibule music. Really gives you the shivers.

And finally, The Haunted Houses chase music. A great mix of terror and adrenaline rush combined.

Really hope they bring back the last 2 next year.
