Does anyone know what coasters/parks were in the following movies or if you have others you would like to share, that would be excellent to:
Requiem for a Dream
3000 Miles to Graceland
Fatal Attraction
The Whole Nine Yards
Rollercoaster
Some I know of:
National Lampoon's Vacation-Magic Mountain
3 Ninjas High Noon at Mega Mountain-Elitch's Gardens
Getting Even With Dad-Paramount's Great America(oops ;))
Thanks for your help!

I thought Getting Even With Dad was at Paramount's Great America, not Six Flags.
There's a wooden roller coaster in the movie Fear. I don't know which one it is, though.
Rollercoaster features King's Dominion and Magic Mountain (both before they were bought out) and a small park at the beginning which I don't remember. I read that the park in 3000 Miles to Graceland is Silverwood park, in Idaho.
And anyone know the park in "Stranger on a Train"?
BTW...the only good part in Beverly Hills Cop III was the chase on the Skywhirl at PGA.
Getting Even with Dad was PGA.

The first coaster in the movie Rollercoaster- the one that got bombed was at Ocean View Amusement Park in Norfolk,Va- it was called "The Rocket". The park is now defunct.

The coasters in The Whole Nine Yards was Cobra and Monstre at La Ronde in Montreal. I ask that question at Thrill Ride before it shut down. I am curious what coaster was in Happy Gilmore that you could see in the background while hes in Happy Land a miniture golf course.
Is roller coaster about the roller coaster disaster, cause I think I remeber it. Make for TV movie? Many years ago?

Wabash, It was the movie "Thrill". The coaster was the Giant Dipper at Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

After years of disappointment with get-rich-quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme...and quick! - Homer Simpson
It's about a guy who wants to blackmail the corprate owners of a few amusement parks for a million bucks. He blows up one coaster to get their attention and then an investigator goes on a wild goose chase trying to find and stop this sicko!!

I don't know if this would really count... but in Monkeybone there's a coaster. But it's like one of those you'd see in some simulator. Don't know if anyone else has seen that.

Don't forget about Viper @ Six Flags Magic Mountain in Space Cowboys.
Yes, Viper at SFMM was also in Encino Man, and Incredible Hulk is in House on Haunted Hill.

I don't think it was at magic mountain. If my memory serves me correctly, the coaster is next to a lake/ocean. That would rule magic mountain out. If I am right, are there any amusement parks on lakes that have raccing coasters? (I'm pretty sure the one on the show was a racer)

This isn't a movie, but in the lil romeo video they show SFMM and the other day at about midnight I was watching TV and this movie came on with Christopher Walkin called The Dead Zone, he went on some wooden rollercoaster, but I'm not sure what it was called.
It was SFMM but they added the ocean!
