23years ago when I was going through a painful divorce and my fathers death I saw this movie(castaway 2001), alone. It was difficult to watch to say the least, But very impactful. I cry every time I see it. The last scene in the movie has haunted me. At the time I desperately wanted to have a sense of hope as I sat in the crossroads of my life every day. This week, (2024)I finally made it to this place in the middle of northern Texas. Seriously. Don’t ask me to explain why spending an hour to go out of my way to this location is far more important to me than visiting the Eiffel Tower or other popular destinations. Being here helped me see how much work went in to this specific location. Some of you will understand. It is a sacred place to me. It brought some closure as well as some raw emotions. Thankful for What a strange wonderful world this is and people here who understand what these places mean to us without needing to explain.

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. Now this shot was a little harder to match exactly because of the expansion done to the building John Candy walks around. The remodel brought that corner out about 6’. Everything else is still pretty much the same. 🙂 Six Flags Magic Mountain 26101 Magic Mountain Pkwy, Valencia, CA
