Fully orchestrated audio from any theme park ride is fascinating
because:
a) a full orchestra and many, many hours of creative work
goes into composing, performing, recording and producing a piece of
music that will only ever be heard from the one or two speakers in
a small transient section of the attraction only by the people who
ride the attraction
b) the music is never released. When the ride closes, the
music will never be heard again.
I hope this page helps keep the memory alive with one of
the most emotionally stirring of our senses - sound!

You may have heard the background music on several of the
pages on this website.
They are:
Horizons - "Space", looped.
Possibly the most known piece of music from the attraction. History - a clip from the "Omnimax" screen
section. Photos - background 'atmosphere', looped. Contact - the 'unload' spiel, post 1994.
Looped tracks on the Horizons and Photos page play in a seamless
loop, just like they would on the ride itself, though these stop after
5 loops.
Videos
Some Horizons enthusiasts used to jump out of the ride vehicles and
sneak onto the sets, behind the scenes, etc. when Horizons' days were
numbered. This is a shot from when they planted a video recorder in
the orange grove and let it run (to collect later!)
It's another August 1994 tripod shot and a light traffic morning for
Future World East.
