Reception

The Allmusic review states "Since much of Rollercoaster took place at amusement parks, the soundtrack required a complex mix of conventional thriller music and believable source music for the parks' attractions. Thankfully, composer Lalo Schifrin served up a score that managed to deliver on both counts... Fans of Schifrin's funkier work à la Enter the Dragon will also be pleased with the title cut, a barnstorming funk instrumental that layers wild flute and guitar solos over a rumbling bassline. All in all, Rollercoaster lacks the cohesiveness of the best soundtrack albums, but it is a solid showcase for Lalo Schifrin's multifaceted musical skills and is guaranteed to please his fans".[2]

Personnel
gollark: If it wasn't for rule 7 and if people blindly respected my bizarre interpretations of specific parts of the rules, I actually *could* probably take over the server this way.
gollark: I proactively invoke rule 4 against all content I do not like.
gollark: Humans can't rigorously define SFWness and object recognition is very unsolved.
gollark: To be fair, these filtering things are essentially required to be useless.
gollark: I suppose it just doesn't trust you after [REDACTED].
