Merry-Go-Round: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

Merry-Go-Rounds have only one type of music, the "Fairground Organ Music", which includes Band Organ variations of "The Blue Danube", "Tales from the Vienna Woods", "Die Regimentskinder Marsch" and "The Poet and Peasant Overture".

These tracks were originally recorded in 1976 by the C. John Mears Organisation, from a Voigt Model 35 69-Keyless Band Organ at Bressingham Steam Museum, Norfolk. Called the Bressingham Voigt, it remained there for many years, but was eventually sold and now performs in the Netherlands. The record was owned by Chris Sawyer's father, and its tracks were used in both RollerCoaster Tycoon 1 & 2. All of these songs are original arrangements from the Ruth Fair Organ Company. The original LP, called "The Bressingham Voigt" occasionally turns up on eBay or other internet auction sites.

The song "Dornroschens Brautfahrt" ("Wedding Journey") by Viktor Nessler is slightly longer than the original and added some repeated rhythms.

The Voigt organ is currently in the Netherlands and is in top condition. It is owned by a Dutch showman, Herman Riddering from Garmerwolde. The Voigt organ has its own website: [[Simon Foster|http://www.draaivermaak.nl/35er-Voigt-draaiorgel.35ervoigt.0.html]]

On the occasion that a Merry-Go-Round is struck by a Control Failure, it will slow down (rotation and sound) to a stop. Sometimes, more rarely, it begins to shake, move about twice as fast (rotation and sound, which raises the pitch of the music at the same time), emit smoke and, after a while, jump up and down.

However, the smoke does not appear in the first two games.
