What's everyone's favorite movies and/or shows with theme parks and/or rollercoasters in them? Mine would be the end of Vacation. Ohers include: Adventureland, the end of Zombieland, and of course the Iron Wolf scene in Richie Rich.
^I agree with that one for sure. Another one people probably have never heard of that I enjoyed was called Thrill. It's one of those boardwalk parks that has a wooden coaster which is the main thing for the movie, but they have a lot of more carnivalish rides in it like a small motion simulator, Tilt-A-Whirl, Scrambler, maybe Paratrooper, etc. They also have a log flume.
I would say Thrill, National Lampoon, and Beverly Hills Ninja are my favorite theme park movies. Big has a carnival in it, and that's good for that portion. I like carnivals in movies too like Child's Play 3, Grease, or Mighty Joe Young. Hey, Wonder Woman goes to Magic Mountain in a tv episode, and the Step by Step intro / song is of Magic Mountain!

I stumbled across parts of Rollercoaster on Youtube a while back but didn't have the time to watch it at the time. I found those videos have been removed for a copyright violation. I've checked Netflix, it didn't seem to be on there last I checked. Does anyone know where I could find a copy of that?
To contribute to the actual topic, La Ronde can be seen in the distance in a few scenes of The Whole 9 Yards.

Culkin probably filmed this at Great America right? When this come out? 1994?
If anyone wants to see a nice view of X-scream in Vegas on the BIG screening, check out Mr. Robert De Niro riding it in the new movie Last Vegas when it opens in November (the movie is only so-so though, in my opinion!).
