I've seen various short clips of the rest of the VR on media reviews, etc. I'm sure if you tried hard enough, you could piece together a lot of the VR with maybe a few gaps.

Mutiny bay has some new audio provided by the fantastic Nick Hutson, the music definitely feels more dramatic than the previous soundtrack, I will leave a link here... :) Be sure to give it a listen!

Nick Hutson has produced some absolutely great theme park soundtracks, and this is one of his best in my opinion! Great work Nick!

It's a good soundtrack, but I must say I have an undying love for the old one :)

I actually prefer this to the old one! Part of it sounds a little like last year's Towers Street Scarefest music which he did as well.

Ha! That'll be the contrary motion chromatic scale.

The music on Tower Street is good, but at the end of the day change it back to the old one as it's just better (for leaving the park)

Also the new Mutiny Bay music is fine...if a bit generic, but it just serves to fix what isn't broken and it is to be honest, a bit of a downgrade (it's still good music...just not as good as the old audio) if you were going to make new MB audio then couldn't you make something like thunder rock radio but pirate themed. Like have 1-2 pirate hosts talking inbetween pirate songs (Drunken Sailor, Blow The Man Down ect) and anouncing said songs as "New Hit singles" from made up pirate celebritys and inbetween that do "How to Talk Pirate" because that is still very good and the park would be poorer without it.

And while your at it, can you try and get Merlin to put the old pre Duel Gloomy Wood music back in GW?

Nothing too exciting but I don't think these are available easily.

This topic has just reminded me. I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but here's the soundtrack used on the Monorail between 2012-2014, as well as the Skyride. I could be wrong on the years this was played but I don't remember hearing it anywhere from 2015 onwards:

Don't suppose anyone knows where the Boiler House soundtrack came from?
