Universal Studios Hollywood Halloween Horror Nights (2000) Front Gate/Ticket Booth Program Audio:

Oh the memories.  This is the loop that played when I was a Starway Escalator Lead!   :)

For those of you who would like my collection of Universal Music...I have recreated a new Dropbox link with my collection.

I am willing to share and add any music I may have forgotten or may not have found...yet.

I am very pleased with my Wild, Wild, Wild West Stunt Show load music.  Yes, I edited it and its pretty darn close to the real thing.

My Waterworld edit is from the original show and is only 98% complete.  I did edit it myself and its a little rough around the edges...but pretty close since I took all the cues from the score.

Enjoy!

So has anyone had any luck getting the audio that is played at the main entrance of Universal Studios Hollywood?


I know they play The Simpsons,Transformers, Waterworld, King Kong, and the original Universal Studios Theme with a recomposed beginning.


The rest of the audio played is all recorded for the park and not from actual movies.
 
You've got a great list going now! Just as a tip, here are a couple of more Potter songs heard throughout the land:


-  Aunt Marge's Waltz (Hogsmeade)


- Hedwig's Theme (Hogsmeade)


- Secrets of the Castle (FJ queue)


I'm positive there are other tracks that they play in the different shops, dining spots, and attraction queues. Hopefully the next time I visit the park I can write a few more down.

I stood by the speakers located at the main entrance and recorded about 15 minutes of the music loop. Its hard to get a good recording since everyone is talking in the background. If you think you can clean up the audio, then please feel free to message me.

I've tried to sit in Three Broomsticks at a slow period to keep voices out.  I'll see what I can do in my spare time :)

Thanks for the tips...I'll add them when I get the chance.
