How's the music in the land/rides?

Entirely new stuff from Elfman, or any callbacks to the classic scores?

(very slight Unchained spoilers)
While I'm not too familiar with the classic scores, the soundtrack on Unchained is very good. Also, Phantom plays the main melody from the musical on the organ, which was very nice to see.

Unreal. I can’t believe they actually did that! I mean I’d hoped, but I assumed it would just be generic organ music.

Are we sure about this? I’ve heard this specifically doesn’t happen

I swore I heard at least little hints of it on one of my rides. The dialogue through the ride can alternate sometimes, so maybe his music does as well?

Yes it does.

 

[Jones14]

Yes it does.

Yes and no. It’s not *technically* the music from the Lloyd Webber musical, but there is a descending organ line at one point that is so close to the title song from the musical as to be basically indistinguishable.

This tracks. I would’ve been surprised if they licensed the cue, but this sounds like an extremely similar (and thus recognizable) but legally distinct stand-in. Happy they put it in.

Can anyone confirm this? I remember seeing him say it a while back and had to dig to see if it was a fever dream or not.

Ate at Das Stakehaus. That steak.. was not good. Basically a thin slice of Prime Rib that was close to flavorless. Save your $23.99! Also tried my friend's pork belly and it was alright.

On the other hand, the meatloaf was good and I enjoyed the skull cornbread too. I'd go back for that.

There are 4 HHN Icons in a certain scene on the ride - with Jack being one of them.

I can remember like a burnt electric smell in the load area for monsters. Like how I’d imagine a tesla coil would smell

If Universal intentionally costumed the makeup artists to look like Jack Pierce, that may be the greatest deep cut Easter egg of the entire park...

He's boutta say my invisibility is the result of a broken toe or something.

Didn't time it officially - but felt like 4-5 minutes.

The POV I saw was a little under 3 minutes and it started in the middle of the phantom scene. So the ride seems to be pushing almost 4 minutes if not that. BUT that is 4ish minutes of non-stop action! That is impressive in itself. Not too many rides can do that with most having filler scenes and transition areas.
