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
