#uranium suite

[thissongisawesome]

do you ever think about how ocean was implied to be the first one to notice that the ride was broken and they were all absolutely fucked? in like every intro song (not uranium suite but uranium suite is mid anyways) there's at least one line that shows her having knowledge beforehand. in fall fair suite there's this line from ONLY OCEAN!! while everyone else dances around and sings the background vocals. but her line is, "had a strange feeling from the start. bought out tickets stood in line, a rickety cart. i did not feel safe at all. tick-a-tick-a heard the crack!" and then they all say "felt the drop, now i know im never going back!" but she could tell even leading up to the drop that they were going to die. in the choreography of "waiting for the drop", in the moment before the drop of the ride, ocean is like set aside from the rest of the choir and she has a look of absolute terror on her face because she KNOWS. she knows that these are her final moments alive. there isn't anything in tragic fact but idk the other two are pretty compelling to me! imagine how absolutely horrifying that must have been, knowing that you and your closest friends are all about to die on some stupid carnival ride. she had the time to think about everything the other members didn't. like the fact that she would never get to leave uranium no matter what she did, she would be stuck there for eternity. she wouldn't be known for her real accomplishments but for simply dying on a rollercoaster. she could've thought about anything and everything in those final moments. no one else even knew they were going to die until they were already falling, ocean had time to think about it and that's arguably so much worse. yeah, me neither.

unpopular RtC opinion apparently: I like Uranium Suite

not more than Fall Fair Suite, or any other intro song, but like…It’s good? Easily as good as the others and why do people hate it so much?

the rtc opening song titles go so hard. tragic fact? their death is tragic and raw and emotional. but it’s also a cold hard fact, one that everyone is expected to move on from, one day. except them. they’re dead. fall fair suite? aside from it being “fall fair” as in autumn carnival and “fall not fair” as something that had to happen. was always going to happen. it can also be fall fair as in, where the occurred, the fair. it will always be characterised in the public consciousness as a site of death. waiting for the drop? initially it conveys excitement for the best part of the ride, where endorphins rush and you scream. while you know it’s safe, it doesn’t feel that way. and that energy, that build up, is the point of the ride. but, when you get into it, when you go over it, it’s upsetting. waiting for the drop. waiting for the part that would kill them. waiting for something to suddenly happen that would make their lives meaningful. but if you wait for your life to start, it never does. uranium suite? a juxtaposition of a town we are told is rotting and isolated with grandeur and wealth. kind of like how the upsetting event of their deaths is wrapped up in a flashy musical competition.

Is Fall Fair Suite objectively better? Yes

Does Uranium Suite get way to much hate despite being a whole bop? Also yes

[katherines-howard]

what if we a teeny, tiny dot on a wee blue ball and what if we’ve all been spinning round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round

Having the Uranium Suite stuck in my head is so unfortunate. I would like to stop thinking about children on a rollercoaster dying badly now thanks

[overdrve]

no one is disagreeing that fall fair suit goes hard, HOWEVER the little whisper of "did we finally leave our town?" at the end of uranium suite drives me MAD it's so eerie and chilling and also the implications of that singular line backed up by the rest of the lyrics in the second half of the song/tragic fact? devastating. i love it.

I like it when Ride the Cyclone intros do the

“my life is falling off the track I know I’ll never get it back!”

“Life was about to start (had a strange feeling from the start), why did I get into that rickety cart (bought our tickets, stood in line, a rickety cart), it (I) did not feel safe at all. Ticka ticka heard the crack - felt the drop, oh I know I’m never going back!”

“Life was about to start, oh oh oh (cotton candy and rancid beers!) we never should’ve got into that rickety cart, oh no!”

“Wait! Are we still on the track? Uh oh! Felt that drop, now I know, woah! Oh, we’re never going back! Are we ever ever going back?”

“We’ll never leave this town alive, no, we will never leave this town at all!”

“(Did we finally leave our town?)”

thing, iykwim

THEN YOU'RE

SAILING THROUGH SPACE

YOU DON'T KNOW

UP FROM DOWN

AND YOU

FEEL A LITTLE STRANGE

FROM ALL THAT SPINNING

ROUND

i dont know if this was like. obvious but someone in a comment section mentioned how waiting for the drop and uranium suite have the same ending chord progression and it changed my life. you can literally sing them on top of each other
