Coasters and parks in Movies???

Yeah it has to be magic mountian on Step by Step. Not only is that Colossus but the sky tower thing is in the background.
Unless it is Mean Streak painted white with a wave machine in Lake Erie. :)

"Clear, Dispatch"

The Woody Allen movie The Purple Rose of Cairo contained a few scenes shot at Bertrand Island Amusement Park. The interesting thing that the film was made after the park closed for good. Kind of a "last hurrah" for the park.

Good luck finding the movie though, it seems to be rather rare.

Wasn't Eddie Murphy in a movie (don't know name) that had either SFGAm of PGA in it?

poosh tats!

Ya I remember that movie with Eddie Murpy in it where he was on the Triple Ferris Wheel. It had to be either PGA or SFGAm. Anyone know what movie this was?

Kinda makes you wonder whether people read posts anymore or just skip to the bottom and make their own posts.

I rode "X" and never went upside down.

My favorite is SFMM's Viper in True Romance. Nice editing.

About 4-5 years ago, Mariah Carey had a music video and she was riding a wooden coaster. I'm not sure what it was but that was what I was wondering, if any of you guys knew. It seems like it was a boardwalk setting.

I think the coaster in Mariah's video is the Dragon Coaster @ Playland Park in Rye, NY.

Hello, My name is Dan and I'm a coasterholic.

I've been told that the coaster from Step by Step was Rebel Yell at PKD.

Whoops, sorry guys, I was in a hurry and was reminded of it...

The Brady Bunch was at PKI for an episode. Basically the whole episode showed the kids riding some rides which most of them are now defunct.

I've got a few new Movies with Coasters/Parks update:

Crazy/Beautiful with Kirsten Dunst features Pacific Park and the Santa Monico West Coaster

Bully with Brad Renfro and Nick Stahl feaures one of the southeastern Hurricane's I believe

Bubble Boy with Jake Gyllenhaul features Manhattan Express at New York New York in Vegas

Any other recent ones?

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.

Kings Dominion and Magic Mountain were both from scratch and were made by the company they are under right now. The movie features these parks in order:

Oceanside Park, Knobel's Grove, Paramount Kings Dominion, and ends with Six Flags Magic Mountain.

This isn't a movie, but it's been awhile since I watched the show but what was the coaster on the Step by Step Intro???
-----------------
8 feet higher and a 6.5 feet longer drop, could never contest with a 80 degree, non-braking giga-coaster... Sorry, Steel Dragon 2000

SFMM- Collossus They put a Great Lake/Ocean where the parking lot is (i say great lake because wisconsin-where the show takes place- is on lake Michigan)

Yes, Viper at SFMM was also in Encino Man, and Incredible Hulk is in House on Haunted Hill.

Yea, its funny that they call Magic Mountain, Mega Mountain, and Viper, Vaper

Roller Coasters or sports? I guess there are questions nobody can answer!

The park in Requiem for a Dream is at Coney Island, I think. I'm not sure, though, and I won't find out by watching the movie again. That thing messed with my head. Very disturbing, but at least I'll never decide doing heroin sounds like a good idea...

AHEM!!!- SFMM was bought by Six Flags in 1983, it was originally built by Newhall Land and Farm with help from Sea World. It was then sold to Bally's in 1983 who owned it for a few months, they sold it to Six Flags
