Awesome work! Those last three are going to be pretty difficult to track down, I think.
I did a search on the internet for
This is the only place I've been able to find mention of the album apart from this thread.
Wow, I'm surprised something actually exists on it! It's nice in that it confirms the existence and name of the album, but we still have the challenge of finding the rest of the songs from it. I'll see what I can do with the information you've given when I have the time. Thank you!
 
The list in the initial post was obtained directly from Busch Gardens Williamsburg Customer Service by @Haberdasher1973 sometime in the mid-2000s. It is not fan compiled. Anything after that was figured out by fans.

I would also like to point out that @Haberdasher1973 made the inital request for the list many years after Killarney had opened and the list was was out of date at the it was provided to him and still included the Hastings tracks at the time, hence the Killarney tracks being missing.

This was back in the day when you asked customer service for something and they would actually contact the department responsible for it and get back to you with what you asked for.

Haberdasher actually provided me with a scan of the Word document provided at one time, but it has since been lost, but I can vouch that the contents of that post were contained in the Word Document provided by the park.

Anheuser-Busch really had fantastic Customer Service; I would not expect the same request to be fulfilled today from anyone at SeaWorld Parks.

Well I actually still have the original correspondence. Please see attached:
Wow that's really cool, it definitely disproves my theory on the Catch the Brass Ring album being wrong. The one I found must have been an album with the same name but different songs.
 
Ok, I guess I'm confused. I looked at the list Shane attached (above). The Amazon link I posted has the same number of songs and the same order. And the same title- "Catch THE Brass Ring". The YouTube list title is "Catch ANOTHER Brass Ring". It's probably a follow-up album.

So what's supposed to be the accurate one...the list Shane posted or the YouTube list?

I assume it is the list Shane posted. In the PDF of the email that Busch Gardens had sent about the different soundtracks that was posted up here, there are 31 tracks that line up with the one on Amazon. The one on YouTube has to be something different, though they are similar.
 
Great! Then mystery solved. Grab a brass ring!

My guess is whomever created the YouTube list inadvertantly used what I believe was a second release. They missed the "Another".

At the moment I am working on a Google Doc version of the email from Busch Gardens but instead of having a slot for time I am putting a space for video links and right beneath the album names there will be a space for where you can buy the album so we can keep track of what we know (changes to the layout can be made along the way). Once I'm done I'll post the link up here and if anyone wants to be able to edit it you can send me a message on this site and I can add you to the Doc. Hopefully this will bring together the findings on this thread!
 
Just finished, here's the link. I only have the bare bones of it, but I do have a lot of the video links which I'll add in in the near future. If anyone wants to be able to edit it they'll have to give me their email so I can add them to the doc. I could leave it out in the open for anyone to edit it, but I don't know how much I trust that so I'm going with the email route.
 
"Zwei Schimmel" and "Rote Schirme" no longer play in Oktoberfest (if they ever did). I am going to assume that either those songs never played, or they only played during a small window of time. In fact, the only songs by Alpenoberkrainer (on that list) that still play in the park today are: "Schöne Urlauszeit" and "Wenn der Opa mit der Oma tanzt."

The only remaining song in one that I have trouble finding with any music recognition apps. This song, performed by a Slovenian band, has the same chorus as the song missing from our playlist. The part we know starts at 0:30.

After getting all of the videos in order for the doc I made I can confirm that we have most of the music for the park and what we do not have can be found and uploaded once one of us bites the bullet and buys and uploads the albums that are not on YouTube. Our final mystery for us to solve is to find the Oktoberfest music that we have been struggling with lately. Aside from that one album, almost everything from the park can be found. Any progress we make past the point of buying and uploading the albums is just going to the park and confirming our list. (If anyone does end up buying one of the albums and uploading it make sure to tell me so I can add it to the playlist and the doc)
 
If anyone has any of the music I have left blank on the doc on their computer or on a CD, don't be afraid to upload it!

This is the one I've been trying so hard to find! Or it's the chorus at least. Now we just have to figure out where the rest of it is lol.
 
I think I may have identified the song once as “Ein Verdammtes Mädchen,” which literally means “A D@mn Girl.” I know it sounds strange, but the version that I posted has a similar name in English, according to Google Translate.

Edit: it’s possible that I identified the same as the one that I posted, and then translated it to German. The album cover looks familiar, so that’s probably what happened.
