Flashpoint filmed almost an entire episode in Season 2 at Canada's Wonderland.

It's a CTV produced show that CBS also airs in the US.

 

In it a crazy bilogical father kidnaps his baby who he previously abandoned and takes it to the theme park where he has memories of being with his father. Wackiness ensues and the SWAT team chases him up the lift of the "Coaster" (it's Flight Deck/Top Gun).

 

Here's the IMDB Page with pics: http://watch.ctv.ca/flashpoint/season-1/flashpoint-ep-101-scorpio/#clip250767

Here's the entire episode and clips posted on CTV's website (not sure if these play in the US or not).

What about the movie "Summer School"?

There was a Arrow Corkscrew coaster filmed in that movie.

Anyone know where that was filmed?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief has the Coney Island Cyclone in it, BUT I'm not sure if it's computer generated or not it was too dark too tell.

What was that coaster in the movie Richie Rich? My dad thinks its Shockwave at SFMM.

According to 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."

Baby Geniuses- Adventuredome

 

An episode of The King of Queens was filmed at Magic Mountain.

[CPmaverickCF]

From glancing over the pages, I don't think these have been said.

 

"Return To House On Haunted Hill" - This has a very large scene with amusements, but I specifically remember The Hulk from Islands of Adventure being featured for several minutes.

 

The MTV show "Nitro Circus" - There was part of an episode shot at Magic Mountain, in which they base jump off Superman.

The Coney Island Cyclone is seen during the scene where they find the Tin Man in The Wiz, and a brief clip of an Arrow Corkscrew is seen in Naked Gun 2 1/2

Al Lutz had a pretty good article about a movie that features about 15 minutes of Disneyland footage from the 60's ... and was released by Universal Studios. Interesting.

Rollercoaster (1999) takes place at PNE Playland. It shows Coaster, Corkscrew, the defunct Wild Mouse and Dragon Coaster, and a variety of flats. The characters ride Coaster and Wild Mouse, walk on Coaster, and run Dragon Coaster.

The Disney Movie "Luck of the Irish" was Filmed at Lagoon and Featured Samurai, Sky Scraper, and Paratroopers. In the Chase Scene around the park you can also see Rocket.

Oh wow!!!

 

I'm watching Megasnake right now on the SyFy channel and the whole last like hour of the movie takes place at a fair/park with what looks like an L&T Mouse and a Wacky Worm and tons more rides!!!

 

Megasnake just ate a bunch of people on the Himalaya and then snaked up the Wacky Worm...now he just took out a bunch of people on the bumper cars, this is AWESOME!!!!

[Koolkid]

Just been watching a brand new game show called Scream if you know the answer, it's based at Thorpe Park and it's actually quite good, shame the presenter is absolutely shocking though

[SharkTums]

So after a bit of checking around, Megasnake was filmed at Sofia Land in Sofia, Bulgaria. The park basically then closed down for good!! Perhaps Megasnakes fault? People didn't want to go after there had been a giant snake there eating everyone?

Too bad, looked like a nice park from what I saw of it on Megasnake!

[themeparkologist]

Anyone said Space Cowboys with Viper in it?

[thrillrider]

I have the c.h.i.p.s season 1 box set(I know...I know...), and they went to magic mountain for lunch in one of the episodes.

[Mr Stratosphere]

I also remember a couple of episodes of Family Matters were filmed at Walt Disney World.

 

Lance Burton did his escape from being tied to the tracks of the Desperado at Primm as well.
