The Towers Street version and the overall way towers street looks in the photo scream '80's dark fantasy', of course Hex would make a good dark fantasy movie.
You know, I've read that those ruins in Alton Towers are said to be haunted, and this melody seems to have some kind of Halloweeny vibe. This could be why "In the Hall of the Mountain King" was chosen as the main theme for the park.
There’s plenty of ghost stories surrounding the towers ruins, I’ve even encountered a few unexplainable situations exploring the ruins! Definitely agree it has a sense of spookiness and it works perfectly for the park.
OH, this is very cool -- though I am surprised that apparently Nemesis and Oblivion do NOT have any remixes or samples of the track in their themes! Smiler one rules, of course.
Does anyone know how common it is for the melody of In The Hall of the Mountain King to play in the queue line, I’ve heard it twice on The Smiler (but that’s mainly because I’ve been on it so many times) and I heard it one time on Galactica. Although I may have heard more and just not noticed. Edit: I’ve also heard it on the retrosquad at least once
The box office rendition is a jam

10:26 Did anyone hear a Wilhelm Scream sound? Or is it just me?
10:27 in the hall of the mountain smiler
Best one fact
This is my favourite one

I’m surprised about that too. Hopefully though the Nemesis soundtrack will get a new version by IMAScore incorporating hall of the mountain king!
the oblivion theme is just a piece of stock music which is why it don't have it
It’s mainly because they didn’t use it during the Tussuads era of the park (1990-2007), so galacitca and spinball only got it retroactively.
I miss the old Monorail tune always built up hype
I agree. It was much better than the soundtrack they use now!

It’s normally hidden a few times in a 30 minute loop. The Smiler does it more often though I’ve noticed
Curse at Alton Manor is amazing 😊
I can’t wait to experience it all in person! 👻🚫🔫
I don't know about parks have soundtrack
