Spoiler: GUESSES

1. Extras: Saving Mr Banks. I was fairly confident they had filmed portions of this at Disneyland. But I could be wrong.
2. Supporting Role: National Lampoon’s Vacation. I don’t remember which park it was filmed at now, but I think it was Six Flags Great America.
3. Lead Role: I do not recognize the movie but that is absolutely The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
4. Director: I don’t recognize it. But I’ll just take a shot in the dark and say it was filmed at Six Flags Magic Mountain.

WHERE IN THE WORLD
GOES TO THE MOVIES!

Announcing the latest edition of Where in the World, the casual game where you must identify theme parks based on images.

This time we'll be looking at movies which have uses theme parks as settings & filming locations! Screenings will be held for the next Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Every day, you will see four movie images. You will be challenged to identify both the movie and the (real world) theme park. Some will be Disney, some will be Universal, some will be other parks entirely.

Each image will be increasingly more difficult, and worth more points, as we rise through the ranks of a film set:
Extras (Easy, 1 point each)
Supporting Roles (Medium, 2 points each)
Lead Role (Hard, 3 points each)
Director (Ludicrous, 4 points each)

As in previous rounds, please use the spoiler tags when providing your answers. The player with the highest point total after Sunday's matinee will have the option to host Where in the World on the coming weekend. Good luck, and see you at the movies!
