HEX, without a doubt. They don't make music like that anymore. Recent stuff seems to rely more on creating a background 'ambience' (Mutiny Bay, Th13teen), in my opinion... would be nice for The Smiler to have an actual unique, distinctive track - but I doubt it. :(
 
It was a tough choice between Nemesis and Hex but in the end, I chose Hex. It's one of the most significant examples on park where they've used an orchestra and, as a one timer, put emphasis into the latin chanting. It's so eerie and atmospheric and acts a lot more than just an ambience to create the mood.
 
I am going to be a bit controversial and go for Air.

It's by no means anywhere near my favourite ride in the park, however - the music is perfect. It's actually very unusual for a rollercoaster to have such a tranquil style, obviously it's suited to Air, and the music is very much a part of this.

My second choice would have been Charlie. It's a fantastic score.

:)
 
I voted for Nemesis as a classic. But I must admit the music and announcements package for Air is very well produced and suits the ride perfectly. :)

I wish the park would turn the volume up for some of the ride music. For example Oblivions ambient music is barely audible these days! :(
 
I voted for Hex, there isn't really much competition really when it comes to a full package of music! The ambient music is simply stunning and well, the actual ride audio, well, when it is turned up full blast in that vault, it's nothing short of incredible!!

Seriously, I love riding Hex and listening to that music as I was other riders faces fall in disbelief over what's happening! Such a stunning ride!


However, don't get me wrong, many other rides at Towers have fantastic music! As Dan mentioned, the score for Charlie is simply brilliant, just a shame the rest of the ride lets it down ;)
