Hey did anyone notice that Dreamworld has started playing the music from Vliegende Hollander around main street.

Makes me happy. For some reason I kept thinking it was Pirates of the Caribbean music and then 30 mins after I left the park I was like "oooooh I remember where that's from!".

Any other new music that has popped up?

@Gazza I am responsible for this, I was wondering if someone on here would notice 😂. We installed some long throw speakers at the front of the park and needed some impactful music, there’s plenty of European theme park tracks in there 👌

I did a double take when I heard Chiapas music from Phantasialand playing 😅

This is honestly the first time i hear this is connected to Eftling and now even I'm wondering what else is used within Dreamworld. (pls Dreamworld / Earthstory / PicoPlay, give us the Rivertown Theme track!!)

Get the blue fire station music playing somewhere, particularly from 2:25

@Coppertine you’ll need to ask @Luke Costello to make that happen!

Kudos sir - the atmosphere is so much nicer than Hot Tomato's top 40.

Would love if you could share the full playlist as not everything comes up in Shazam.

The difference this style of music makes to the atmosphere of the park is incredible. Hearing generic pop music takes you away from the ‘themepark’ and cheapens the whole overall experience and atmosphere (ocean parade I’m looking at you) 

The music heard from the entire car park really sets up your day when you arrive and really finishes the day nicely as you walk back to your car, great idea!

We went a few weeks ago and had some non enthusiasts with us. They all commented on the atmosphere and the brilliant music! Great job!!

I’ll make a spotify playlist next time I’m at the park 👌

I identified a few IMAscore tracks playing at the entrance the other day. They definitely add so much to the atmosphere and are far better than the generic top 40 music that used to play in the area. I’m so glad Dreamworld is starting to move towards using proper themed audio instead of just relying on typical pop music. I know I talk a lot about music at parks, but it’s such a vital part of the whole experience and I feel as though our major theme parks have never really been great at utilizing themed audio in an effective way (apart from old school Movie World back in the day, but they have turned a lot of their background music off in most areas of the park now). At least DW is making an effort and doing a great job. It would be fantastic if they could gradually replace the remaining pop/dance music in the park with more thematically appropriate soundtracks though, as that would really help to elevate the overall guest experience IMHO.

That would be fantastic, thanks (and thanks for creating the terrific in-park playlist too)! BTW, do you know if Dreamworld has ever considered commissioning IMAscore to produce an original composition for the park? They have composed so many iconic soundtracks for a number of European parks and it would be amazing to have specially composed theme music of that quality to compliment one of our attractions here in Australia!
