ziscor Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 So I just realised like the title says, that the Pirate Theme from RCT2 is actually a rendition of the popular sea shanty and Irish folk song Drunken Sailor. Did everyone know about this?
imlegos Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 All the merry-go-round music is not done by Allister, there is also very few themes for regular game sounds from others. Pirates is probably one of like 2 or 3, not sure atm.
ziscor Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 So Pirate has it's own style? I thought Fairground Organ Music was the only practical style in the game My bad.
imlegos Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Every song in game is called 'Song' style Example: Fairground Organ Style, Modern Style, Pirate Style, Urban Style E.T.C. This is likely to reflect the idea that each song is to fit a style of ride. It's actually understandable that you got it mixed up since you style rides with themeing.
imlegos Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) There is actually only 4 songs not done by Allister Brimble and aren't part of Fairground Organ Style. Pirate Style (Drunken Sailor), Organ Style (Toccata - Charles-Marie Widor), Fantasy Style (Flight of Fantasy - Steve Blenkinsopp), Ragtime Style (Searchlight Rag - Scott Joplin). Every other style is created by Allister, but every Fairground Organ song is not. Edited March 10, 2016 by imlegos 1
imlegos Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I should also note that Rock Style 3 was not made for RCT, but rather a PS1 game called Drive I think it was. It is still made by Allister though.

imlegos Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 And Modern Style (Techno Torture) was made for RCT2, as it predates Chris Sawyer's Locomotion by 2 years. The song was extended and modified for Locomotion though, to change it from a loop to a full song.
