Movie: Adventureland
I saw the movie Adventureland Saturday with my family and other local coaster enthusiasts. The story take place in Pittsburgh, PA in 1987. They filmed it at the lovely, historic Kennywood amusement park. It was a dirty look at the squalid lives of the people working the summer at Adventureland a made up amusement park. With the amount of alcohol and pot the people on screen I'm surprised they didn't die of liver failure or asphyxiation. None of the characters were nice and there was a lot of pain and shame going around. If you want to see people being nasty to other people then get your tickets quick, I don't expect it to stay in the theaters for long.
