Goliath513 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 here are just a few I remember... House on haunted hill- The Hulk Bring it On: In it To Win It- Dueling Dragons Knocked Up- Silver Bullet Final Destination 3- Corkscrew (playland) Fear- Wooden Roller Coaster (playland) They also show bits of "Coaster" at Playland in Final Destination 3. Don't forget the movie Rollercoaster with Rocket (Ocean View Amusement Park) Rebel Yell (KD), and Revolution (SFMM)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I thought this was a thread already but anyway I can't believe no one mentioned Giant Dipper at SCBB in The Lost Boys and also in Dangerous Minds. I rode the Giant Dipper back in April and it was neat to ride something with so much history and also a coaster I had seen in The Lost Boys tons of times!

Erik Johnson Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 here's one that maybe no one has heard of--- anyone ever seen the movie "A Mighty Wind"? It's a part of a series of Mock-U-Mentaries (The three movies in the series are Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and Waiting for Guffman).. it's a HILARIOUS movie, as well as all the others, and I'd highly recommend seeing them! As far as the coaster cameo--you see..... DEJA VU!!! I can't tell which park it's in, I'm thinking it might be the one at SFGAm.. but I'm not quite sure. So yeah, check out that movie! It's a hilarious movie--with a coaster cameo! Does it get much better?? It is actually from SFMM, you can see Psyclone as well since it was filmed in front of the pathway that leads to those coasters. What was Deja Vu name in that again? Dragon Whip or something?

sccoasterfan Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 The movie SHAG was filmed in Myrtle Beach in the early 90s. Part of the movie was shot at the now gone Pavillion You see corkscrew and the old galaxi coaster in the movie. If you haven't seen the movie it is a must watch.

carolinacaniac Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 You can see the Pepsi Ripsaw at Camp Snoopy (now the Orange Streak at Nick Universe) in the Mighty Ducks 3. They ride it over and over, then get sick and start hurling into a trash can, not sure that the Pepsi Ripsaw is intense enough to make me sick like that.

supertrooper Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Viper (SFMM) - True Romance, Encino Man, Space Cowboys"Rollercoaster" - a few (Revolution, Thunder Road, Ocean View Park) "Spy Kids 2" - Titan, Batman The Ride (SFOT) "Richie Rich" - Iron Wolf (SFGAm) "National Lapoons Vacation" - Revolution, Colossus (SFMM) West Coaster (Pacific Park) - In alot of TV shows and films and lots more .. but I'm tired. I always thought the coaster in Richie Rich was Vortex at Carowinds. Since the house shots were of the Biltmore estate in NC...I'm actually pretty sure it was Vortex.

cooksta77 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Well I'm not totally sure but on those NFL comercials where they tell you what games are coming up they gave it a themepark look and I think they used Goliath at SFMM for the coaster going around.

coasterbill Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 "Big" had a lot of scenes from Rye Playland. Not a bad movie and it's my home park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I always thought the coaster in Richie Rich was Vortex at Carowinds. Since the house shots were of the Biltmore estate in NC...I'm actually pretty sure it was Vortex. No, it's definitely Iron Wolf. From Wikipedia: The house and grounds at which Richie Rich is filmed are those of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. The roller coaster in the back yard is the Iron Wolf at Six Flags Great America. I work with summer camps and when activities get rained out we sometimes get stuck inside watching movies, I watched that movie probably 3-4 times this summer and I am positive that it's Iron Wolf.

Sticky Nicky Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 ^You are right, it is Iron Wolf. The track goes through the loop and it is painted the rusty brownish color that Iron Wolf is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanlv Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 The Movie "40 Pounds of Trouble" (from 1962) partly took place in Disneyland and featured the Matterhorn I believe. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=40+pounds+of+trouble&search_type= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyJ Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Denver's Elitch Gardens ( Mr. Twister & The Wildcat ) were featured in the 1972 Sci-Fi/Horror Telly Savalas flick "Visions Of Death". Good Luck in trying to find this movie unedited. Back in the mid 70's The Kroger Supermarket chain I believe sued the movie people because the movie featured a number of scenes of the King Soopers supermarket chain however it was done without the permisson by Kroger.

sfgadviperboi Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Rollercoaster 1999 In pursuit of fantasy, five teenagers hop the fence of a now defunct amusement park. It is a very deep and depressing movie filmed at the location from the coaster in FD3. The wooden coaster at the park plays the most prominent role.

DiSab Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 An episode of CSI from a few years ago featured what looks like a Schwarzkopf Wildcat coaster as one of the case's main elements. Grissom and the coaster's maintenance guy also have a conversation about The beast and Son of Beast at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
