I've been round Nemesis a few times with an iPod in a zip-up pocket and earphones in.
I remember listening to Mighty Wings by Cheap Trick and Smells Like Teen Spirit, both worked quite well!

This made me chuckle rather a lot! That song is depressing, whereas Air is not! You should ride again with your iPod on shuffle, and hope for a more lively or relaxing (but not depressing) song!sku11dude123 wrote: Air: I believe i can Fly- R Kelly
I don't listen to music on any of the attractions - I would assume it takes away the atmosphere! If I were to take my iPhone on Nemesis however, I guess it would have to be;
Lady GaGa - Born This Way
And for Oblivion;
Lady GaGa - Edge of Glory

For the big 5-
Thirteen: '64' by Mellowhype (The chorus goes well with the freefall drop, initial drop, the verses go well with the queue)
Air: 'Blind Faith' by Chase and Status
Rita: 'The Fountain' by Pendulum
Nemesis: '50' by Mellowhype (again, I just think its goes)
Oblivion: 'Spirit Within' by Audiomachine

Madness- One step beyond for air or nemesis.
Doesn't fit with the themes, but hell, listening to it on the ride is well good:)

Maybe Rob D - Clubbed to Death would sound good as you approach Nemesis. 8)
Have a look at my space themed dark ride concept:

After having a scroll through my playlist I think
For the late corkscrew- acceptable in the 80's by Calvin Harris
For oblivion- closer to the edge by 30 seconds to mars
For air- fly little bird by Paul weller
For nemesis- I am the resurrection by the stone roses
For thirteen- I hear voices by kasabian
For Rita- lord don't slow me down by oasis
For sw7- she's a weapon by twisted wheel
And for the Alton towers general day out would be greatest day by take that

Bizarrely, for a song that isn't heard anywhere often, this seems to be on the radio at some point during my journey to the towers every time I go. No idea why.
Always makes me think of enterprise for some reason.
