The Sound of Galactica (Alton Towers)

10:04 I love the little In The Hall Of The Mountain King tune within the the soundtrack. It just adds that little spark of magic that we all know and love...

Conor Boyle Tpam No problem!

[@Theme-Park-Kingdom]

You are a legend!

[@Marhelorpe]

Theme Park Kingdom Thanks! I'm just frankly amazed not one person until now has done a recording of Galactica, as there is a very loud and clear speaker (the one you can hear in this video) next to the entrance of the Rollercoaster Restaurant. Seeming it was very loud and is enough to block out any background noise, I thought I would try to record it as it's very unlikely Merlin will ever allow IMAscore to release this (for some reason). So when I visited for fireworks last weekend, the weather was perfect and I knew the next time we would all listen to this would be March 2017, so I couldn't let this go. I had to get something from it!

Thank you from all of the Alton Towers geeks!

Ok but galactica has one of the best soundtracks (behind the smiler) and just about beats oblivion because of how relaxing it is

[@kylerichardson6905]

Wicker man?

[@ThemeParkMusicLooped]

Nice recording! Also, really good shots of the ride too.

[@Marhelorpe]

Theme Park Music Looped Thanks! I couldn't let this escape from me when visiting last week as there was a lovely, loud speaker in the plaza area which was enough to block out any background noise. I'm just surprised how well it turned out more than anything as I wasn't expecting this method to work.

[@ThemeParkMusicLooped]

Yeah, it's best to do it when you have the opportunity! I have never heard the full soundtrack before as I last visited the park in 2015 just before The Smiler crash when it was originally Air and this is a truly amazing soundtrack! I'm sure we all wouldn't force you to do more but it would be nice. Mabey Spinball Whizzer? As there is a recording of it online but i'm not sure if it is the full soundtrack for not. goo.gl/WNqf3D

[@Marhelorpe]

Ah, yes. I was also planning on attempting Spinball Whizzer too, but as you can probably tell just from hearing it through that video, there is loads of background noise coming primarily from the lift chain. Plus, none of the speakers had audio quality as high as Galactica's one when I visited and most were either broken or had water damage so didn't sound quite right. If I recall, the full version of Spinball's new music is 15 minutes long, so this is half of the full thing. If these do get fixed by the start of the new season next year, I may give it a try next time.

[@ThemeParkMusicLooped]

Yeah, that's a good idea, recently Alton Towers have been adding a lot more music around the park which they did lack of. Hopefully, they will replace some of the broken speakers in Spinball Whizzer as part of the Towers Loving Care Program! Also, amend speaker volume ext.

[@airtimecentral2511]

How did you block out all the noise form people talking and stuff cause I have a recording of mystic timbers track but it is so hard to hear from the people I would really love to learn how to block that out and listen to the soundtrack myself!

[@Th3Pieces]

It's such a shame IMAScore won't post this version on anything. not even KZbin. I absolutely fell in love with this soundtrack when I first listened to it. I WANNA DOWNLOAD IT TO MY PHONE IT'S THAT GOOODDDD. :(

[@Marhelorpe]

Reece Thorpe As far as I know, IMA would like to publish more of the soundtrack either online or on a purchasable CD from their online store, but it's not their fault they haven't. The fault and final decision is down to Merlin and for some reason, they are so protective over their music across all of their attractions, which is likely why you don't see anything from them from the year 2011 onwards. If the demand is high enough (and I can assure everyone that it is), Merlin might consider it at one stage and possibly allow IMA to sell the music, but that's a very slim chance. Strikes me as odd Merlin won't do it because I could name a dozen other parks across the world which do it too.

[@MeltedToast84]

They have published it on KZbin

[@miles627]

Thank you so much for this! You speak of audio recordings of the DBGT soundtrack in the description. Where can I find this?

[@Marhelorpe]

MilesK Thanks! What I meant was other people besides me have captured some sections of DBGT, not the whole thing. I was planning on getting a recording of DBGT, but all of the speakers are in the queue above your heads, so unless I held my phone next to it for 35 minutes in a queue full of people it was near impossible. Plus, the speakers are remarkably quiet too.

[@miles627]

Yeah that's a fair pont! However, this is amazing!

Would ever be able to do a wickerman full soundtrack in the future?

[@Marhelorpe]

Kieran Vids I wouldn’t say no at this stage, but it would be remarkably tricky. Wicker Man has 3 different audio tracks playing in the plaza and queue areas, all in sync, so there would be 3 different tracks to get, which might prove difficult given how loud the coaster is too. Might try next season though!

What the hell is the classical music heard in this between 13:42 - 14:07?

[@Marhelorpe]

Theme Park Music Looped Alton Towers have announced even further cuts to their operating hours and times for 2018 whereby Galactica and Nemesis will now open at 11am instead of the previous usual 10am. I changed the title of this video as a mark of anger against the resort because it's simply not acceptable they can get away with such awful operations like this.

[@SashaMasonVR]

The level of dedication when you want the soundtrack so badly that you sit there with your phone out for 25 min ^^ Am no different though, yet I feel crazy for doing it, even more so because I have a dedicated recording device instead of using my phone, can give me some really good recordings and I can still use my phone to do whatever with. Even though there is an Alton Towers CD now, I would still be incredibly curious about Wicker Man. I read there's 3 zones and those are all in sync? Where exactly do these zones start? I'd be interested on trying to get recordings of those eventually but as I havent been there yet, I dont know where each zone starts or where good speakers would be for that.
