* I still can hear the Wizzard slowly clicking up the track. It's definitely a favorite Hometown Square sound at Six Flags!
* The electric sounds of the dodge cars on the Rue Le Dodge
* The whirling sounds and the fans of the Sky Whirl
* The click sound as the operators release the safety bars on the roller coasters such as the American Eagle.
What sounds do you remember?

* All of the above.
* The electric lift and 'thunder' of the Batman ride.
* The sounds of the sweepers at the end of the day.
* The Go-Karts.
* The bells ringing on the 'firetrucks' in Hometown Park.
* The siren blaring out of the Demon tunnel.
* The whistle, diesel engine, and bells on the Train.
* The teenagers begging the park guests to play the carny games.
* The sound of the strength machine near the Funnel Cake Foundry. "Come on, give me a whack!"
* The Games Gallery in County Fair. An example is a siren blaring from one of the games.
* The clicking sound of the American Eagle ascending the lift hill and 'detaching' the chain as the train veers down the first drop.
* The announcements coming from the park speakers.
* The bland recordings outside the Mardi Gras studio.
* The parade rehearsal in the backstage alley.
* The Carousel Plaza music heard in the distance.
* And of course, the classic park soundtracks.
I've given away enough information. I'll have more later.
