Or Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. That guy has some pipes!
Honestly, I think Take It Easy by the Eagles would be my #1 choice. Great driving song... should be perfect for a cruise on a smooth, shiny, new coaster.
But once I'm on the ride :
1. ZZ Top : " Tush"
2.Stevie Ray Vaughan : " The House is Rockin' "
3.Doobie Brothers : China Grove
for Rock I would go with "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC
for Pop I would go with "S.O.S" by The Jonas Brothers
for Country I would go with "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy"
for Techno I would go with "Everytime we Touch" by Cascada
and for Rap I would go with "Heart of a Champion" by Nelly
I would have to say "That's Just the Way We Roll" by the Jonas Brothers.
or
"Sex, Bass, and Rock N' Roll" by Brooklyn Bounce. Trust me the song is clean.
Pop: "S.O.S." by Jonas Brothers or "Oops... I Did it Again" by Britney Spears
Rap: "Hot in Here" by Nelly or "Its Like That" by Run-DMC
Rock: Either "Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest "Master of Puppets" by Metallica or "Rock & Roll All Nite" by KISS
Techno: "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" or "Around the World" by Daft Punk
and for a touch of irony
Don't Fear The Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
I have also heard that movie themes will be on the coaster as well. If so, I wouldn't mind riding to the Superman theme or E.T. theme.
ROCK: Paranoid-Black Sabbath
COUNTRY: Green Grass and high tides-The Outlaws (I realize it's much too long)
RAP: Lose Yourself-Eminem
ROCK: Won't Get Fooled Again-The Who
ROCK: Hearts Burst Into Fire-Bullet For My Valentine
TECHNO: Every Time We Touch-CASCADA
ROCK: Panama-Van Halen
TECHNO?: Time to Pretend-MGMT
ROCK: Hells Bells-AC/DC
RAP: Roll (Clean Version)-Flo Rida
TECHNO: Take a Bow-Muse
I think they should have playlists for each song, containing multiple songs of that specific genre, so the songs don't get repetitive.
Okay, I cheated a little bit by using The Shins for pop, but come on, there's not a lot of quality out there :) As for rap, there's very few that I can stand to listen to, so my choices were kind of limited there as well...

You're making an apples and oranges comparison. I understand the point that a music themed coaster in a movie themed park is odd, but it seemed to work out pretty well for the Rock 'n Roller Coaster.
...which is why most guys should choose Playmate of the Year by Zebrahead, even though they wanna choose Anyway You Want It by Journey. =)
I think I'd choose Rockin' The Paradise by Styx. Patriotic and bombastic!
Or maybe Bat Out Of Hell by Steinman/Meatloaf. Any song that would cause a guy to blow out his vocal cords is perfect for a rockin' roller coaster, right?
Rock Opera FTW, baby!
But where's the love for Blue Rodeo? Head Over Heels would make a great (alt) country song for a coaster ride.
I'd want some Britney Spears for pop.. Maybe "Toxic".. Love the idea of Foo Fighters - "Learn to Fly"..
For dance.. I don't know.. I love a lot of songs.. "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi for suuure..
"One little Spark"
Twilight Zone Theme Song
Spectro Magic Theme
