*A Mighty Wind (2003)- Entertaining mockumentary from Christopher Guest (Best in Show) about folk singers reuniting featuring Deja Vu at Six Flags Magic Mountain and if you look closely, you can see the top of the lift of Psyclone off to the right during that scene. There's also a cool model town and park in the first scene with Mickey and Mitch together again.

*Monster (2003)- Intense, gritty, and emotional true story starring Oscar-nominated Charlize Theron (The Italian Job) as Aileen Wuornos, a highway prostitute who killed several men in Florida in the 80s. Monster is the name of a ferris wheel that made "Lee" puke when she was younger before it made it the whole way around. She visits Fun Spot in Florida with Christina Ricci's character where they ride the ferris wheel and one rides the octopus/monster and go-carts.
