National Lampoon’s Vacation “Sorry folks, the park’s closed. The moose out front should have told you.” As Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and family attempt to enter the closed down Walley World, Lasky the security guard (John Candy) comes out to stop them. This location is just inside the turnstiles when you enter just past the Funnel Cake Factory. In the background, that building is the main souvenir store, the Six Flags Emporium.

This is southeast of Palmdale and Lancaster. You can get there from the San Fernando Valley on the Antelope Valley freeway. It has been significantly remodeled. My photo is from 2014. I added info about a side trip in the comments.
