For what it's worth, I think the track is far too short... like Oblivion.
You're onto something here.

This is very pedantic, but they weren't. It only drops 87 degrees, as you probably know, because the trains did not have spring-loaded wheels so they couldn't drop 90 degrees. I agree with the rest of your post.They were constructing the world's first vertical drop coaster

Only 87?! Then it must have been a piece of cake.This is very pedantic, but they weren't. It only drops 87 degrees, as you probably know, because the trains did not have spring-loaded wheels so they couldn't drop 90 degrees. I agree with the rest of your post.
In my humble opinion, and being around at the time, it is, and was, a very good, and popular, example of drum and bass.Money is the only reason.
It's not even a good example of drum and bass.
The only reason fans like it is because it's there and not been changed for over 20 years.
Correct, very pedantic.This is very pedantic, but they weren't. It only drops 87 degrees,
Im not sure how it couldve been popular, unless "CD Library Music Volume 249" was a hit record in 1998it is, and was, a very good, and popular, example of drum and bass.
The reason fans like it is because it is, and was, a good bit of a banging tune.
It's a really naff piece of music IMO.
Feels like it belongs in Crash Bandicoot.

If people like it fine. I used to, cos I just listened to park soundtracks all the time.
It sounds like your dad's wannabe cool BBQ patio playlist playing around the drop zone currently (why did it start being played there??)
How much money is it typically to commission a piece?Maybe they ran out of money so needed to find something than commission a piece. That tunnel cost an awful lot, I suspect costs were cut where possible.

Its literally on Universal Music Library, and the original album artwork has "Chappel recorded music library" written on it.It was a commercial release on a cd album called "Strictly Drum 'N' Bass". Released for the mainstream music market rather than for a stock libary CD.
My recollection was just weird ambient noises like in the video below. Music was only in the station and some of the videos.I'm sure I heard the music loud all the way round the queue from the start...small punchy speakers in the bushes on the way up?
“My simple drop… My simple drop yeah, yeah, yeah, yeeeeah”Had they only asked The Three Degrees to write the music, they could have made it to 90.
