Talk:Music

From RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki Wiki, the RollerCoaster Tycoon encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

I noticed that Searchlight Rag (Ragtime music) is marked as being composed by who I assume worked on the game music. I find it unclear as to what you mean when you say "composed", because searchlight rag is an actual ragtime song composed by Scott Joplin.--Matt 20 1 12:24, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

For reference (RCT2 music)

To ease in future edits of this article, here are the song names as given in the game, in the exact order and capitalization given in the game. I noticed that some of the songs listed in this article have "unknown titles". If you look at the in-game music credits, there are 29 song names. There are also 29 songs choices in the music menu for a ride. Thus, we must conclude that every song has a name; the only issue is matching a song to its name. This is a wiki. Together, we can get this done and determine each song's name!

Identifying some of these, like the three Rock styles, is going to be tricky, as that ventures into artistic territory and what Allister Brimble was thinking when he named the songs. I'll identify here what I can, but I need your help! (I'll be editing my post in the future without signing my name.) Dogman15 06:14, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for this, Dogman! Would you happen to know what Candy Style is? If you got all but Candy Style, I figured I could find its name in the in-game credits and see what title was left, but I don't see anything that hasn't already been matched. Speaking of which, out of curiosity, how did you match these? Amaury1 (talk) 22:46, April 16, 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I'm a long time RCT1 & 2 player. I'm thinking that Dodgems song is "Dodgems Beat" while Techno Style is "Brimble's Beat". Candy Style would be "Sweat Dreams". For the Rock styles, I agreed. AnRCTPlayer 37.130.224.22 08:59, May 1, 2013 (UTC)
