Title: TNT Theme Music
Post by: History Buff on March 21, 2014, 05:18:54 PM
As many times as I have ridden Thunderation - granted, I haven't been on it for a while with a 10-year-old who doesn't like coasters - when I finally got to ride again with my just-tall-enough son, I noticed a theme song for the ride.  I have never heard the song before this week.  Has it always been there?

That's what I've heard, but in between other songs there was a ThuNderaTion song.  I thought it was great.  There should be a CD with all the themes, old and new.

Haha when I worked at TNT in 2012 as a welcoming to the ride the team would put that song on repeat and blare it! They made sure I knew the words to the song.

If I'm not mistaken I believe an employee of the park wrote the song for the ride.

"Thunderation!
Gonna take you for a ride
Thunderation!
With your bestfriend by your side.
Thunderation!
Gonna take you round and round
And then bring you way up! And bring you down!

Why I Do Not Attend - After hearing Joel Manby on the Outlaw Run video proclaiming how important the theme is to SDC, I wonder how he justifies the discrepancy of playing pop and rock music.

Yes, thank you!  I still can't help but wonder when the song was added.  I've ridden TNT since its beginning, but this was the first time I heard the song.
