[Damnittsteve]

i start to wonder....... was there ever a real wallyworld them park????? or did they just use another theme park and changed the names for the shoot? it never occured to me that since that movie came out before i was of age to see it, wallyworld might have been a real park in the past. anyone know about this subject?

There was no Wally World. It was a Magic Mountain.

There was no Wally World. It was a Magic Mountain.

i figured as such, i know i could have googled it, but i figured id just ask the old farts around here.

No shit! 2012 wasnt about the apocolypse - it was about Leah knowing movie trivia.

Both are equally unnerving.
