* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT4hMepZ0K8 The on ride soundtrack for X2 at Magic Mountain]] deserves a mention. As you leave the station, you hear "It Had to be You" by Music/HarryConnickJr, but eventually it gets interrupted by static and cuts out. After it cuts out, an ominous voice whispers the ride's name as "Enter Sandman" by Music/{{Metallica}} starts playing backed up by several famous movie lines such as [[Film/FullMetalJacket "You will not laugh! You will not cry!"]] and [[Film/AFewGoodMen "You can't handle the truth!"]] Once you reach the top of the lift hill and enter the first drop, the long "gooooiiing dooooooowwwn!" from "Love in an Elevator" by Music/{{Aerosmith}} plays which immediately transitions to "Sabotage" by Music/BeastieBoys. Then, when the ride is over and you're waiting to reenter the station, "Wake Up" by Music/RageAgainstTheMachine plays. (when the speaker works, of course).
