I love those. I mean, I don't want every track to have voices on them, but now and then, I really like hearing a track that gives me the "I feel like I'm there" vibe. Listening to Illuminations (random example) is nice, and the "clean" version is what I'd put on my iPhone, but it doesn't give me the feeling of actually being there. When I'm actually there, there are chattering people and crying children and exploding fireworks, and that I get from a live recording.GeoffS wrote:Not that it drives me nuts, but it detracts from the experience to hear the "recorded live" tracks with people talking in the background. It can range from inane chatter to the most annoying person talking on a phone, but it usually comes with the territory of a "full ride soundtrack".
I really liked listening to the live recording of Cranium Command the other day and hearing someone in the room prior to the show repeatedly saying "George Wendt."
Yes, this is correct. The most annoying musical loop I've ever dealt with was way back when I worked in Fantasyland and worked Peter Pan's Flight. Now, you learn pretty quickly (at least most of us do) to tune stuff out, but it's gets on your nerves more and easier when it's short and repetitive. And that's the music in Pan. Not to mention Wendy's spiel. . .mindflipper wrote:Actually, a CM once told me that smaller loops are the most annoying because it's more repetitious.

Peter Pan Cast Members, in case you don't know, also work in the Small World rotation, and, contrary to popular belief, that music is not particularly rough. For one, we don't work anywhere we can hear the lyrics (I like IASW, but if anything is going to be annoying it's the singing), and the tune itself goes through four alterations over the course of loop, so it's not quite so repetitive. If anything, the music of IASW kind of brightened by day a bit. Plus, it's more fun to work and you don't run the risk of having to sooth angry guests at the Fastpass merge point.
Now this is a tangent.Anyway, tl;dr: Yes, you are correct.
I was never trained at SWSA, but I did work Wishes! standing near their exit once. I actually kept myself company by listening to the exit spiel, but if I was there all day, I'm sure it would jump rather quickly from keeping myself company to having to tune it out to avoid going crazy.NaCler wrote:I wouldn't worry about the music so much on that one as I would the unloading spiel: Step out to your left please, when the car stops, step out to your left. That would get old after about 30 seconds.mindflipper wrote:Actually, a CM once told me that smaller loops are the most annoying because it's more repetitious.

Can you imagine working Primevil Whirl? Of course all jobs are great
but I would imagine it's a little rough hearing the unload spiel on repeat there. "Please stand up before exiting. Bye bye! Please stand up before exiting. Bye bye! Please stand up before exiting. Bye bye!" 
Also, how do you exit without standing up?
