The music in Desert Ride Coaster is a central feature, enhancing the experience but often overwhelming the ride's natural sounds, leading to mixed reviews. While some users appreciate the synchronization with the ride, many feel the music is excessively loud and detracts from the immersive quality that roller coaster sound effects could provide. Overall, a balance between music and authentic coaster sounds is desired for a more engaging experience.
