It appears that the train soundtrack has changed this year. I heard the following songs today:

"Ghost Riders In The Sky" by The Outlaws
"Theme From The Magnificent Seven" by the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra
"Rocky Top" by The Osborne Brothers
"Surfin Safari" by The Beach Boys
Another couple songs that I was unable to identify

In addition, the end of the ride is now tied in to Mystic Timbers (I won't spoil it beyond that for those who haven't experienced it yet).

I rode the KI&MV Railroad twice this weekend, and the new soundtrack fits Rivertown very nicely.

Those interested in the Mystic Timbers backstory should pay special attention to the aforementioned tie-in.

(P.S. to keep this post from getting lost, I split it into a new topic.)

and too many complaints about the change and volume of the new tunes that the train was "muted" today.  It was there just very low...

Interesting. 

I rode the train today specifically for the MT reference, and I did enjoy the inclusion of "Surfin' Safari" near the waterpark (though I think I'll always think of "Kokomo" when riding the train to/from/near SC).

Updating the Beach Boys track is a good thing.  Kokomo < any others Beach Boys tune. 

Good ear on identifying which version of The Magnificent Seven theme, originally by Elmer Bernstein. I'll have to ride the train here soon to catch the Mystic Timbers stuff.

I used an app on my phone called SoundHound to identify it
