It doesn't go into detail but a local movie maker who wrote the movie "Dragonheart" is creating a film based on the 1970's and filiming in Gurnee, Waukegan, etc..
One of the paragraphs states that they are making Great America look a little different than what it is today.
Nothing really detailed on the park being in the movie but somewhat interesting. Keep your eye out for this film and maybe they will make SFGAm look like when it opened in 1976.

I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Interesting. Hopefully we see some Marriott's stuff brought back.

Maybe they'll have some contest to have people be in it......
eh....prolly not. Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.
It sounds pretty cool. I hope they do a good job. If they need people for the movie I have long hair and side burns so I would fit the 70's look.

Well, I'm pretty sure that they aren't gonna make it look like Marriot's Great America, I doubt their focus is on making it look like Great America at all. They will probably be using one of the themed lands as the setting or something.

It better be a good movie. Iron Wolf was featured in Richie Rich the movie with McCauly Caulkin.
Yes they are themed better than most of the Six Flags Parks, but come on, they aren't movie set worth. They probably wouldn't go past the bridges. "I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada." -Britney Spears
Forgive the necropost but I'm pretty sure this thread is where I first heard of this movie. It's called 5-25-77 and it was finally released last year, after 18 years in production. Great America does make a few appearances. It will screen locally in a double-feature with Star Wars on May 20th, at the old Belvidere Mall Cinema in Waukegan: https://reelchicago.com/article/star-wa ... e-with-qa/

That's so cool! I'll go check it out, thanks for the necropost! Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.
