Interesting facts and trivia about Last Ride of the Day. By Songfacts®.

This song was inspired by roller coaster rides. Nightwish keyboardist and chief songwriter, Tuomas Holopainen explained to Metal Hammer magazine: "I'm a fanatic when it comes to theme parks and roller-coasters. I've been to Disney World eight times now! Hollywood, Universal Studios, all this kinda stuff – it's so, so, so good and you feel like a kid again. Also, it's the perfect metaphor for life."

An orchestral version was used by Australia's national synchronized swimming team during their performance at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
