Summer School Filming Locations Then & Now - 80slife - Mark Harmon - Kirstie Alley - Dean Cameron

Great 80s summer movie RIP Kristie Alley

[@TheSharter]

As I was dropping my daughter off for summer school this morning I saw a teacher get out of his car in flip flops a t shirt and board shorts. Instantly reminded me of this movie and for some reason this video shows up in my recommended.

[@danbremer7010]

Hey bro. We need more sharting videos.

[@TheSharter]

@@danbremer7010 I was thinking the same thing. Been super busy filming the Tracy movie lately. Have the next couple weeks off so I'll get some done.

[@Aaron_Scissorhands]

Seeing that classroom was beyond amazing. I LOVE watching filming locations from my childhood movies, but I think this one's my favorite so far.

[@rubygirl214]

My dad (David L. Snyder) was the Production Designer on this movie! I went to visit the set when they shot the scene in the parking lot at the school ♥️ I’m going to send him a link to this

I was 12 years old when I saw this movie in the theaters and I'm 46 years old right now, just watched it yesterday on video, damn time flies!

[@SunshinesJourney]

I found your channel yesterday and have watched 5-6 of them so far. I swear you have chosen so many of my favorites from my childhood (ones I still watch over and over to this day) and I literally exclaimed OH MY GOD when I saw that you did Summer School. Thank you so much for making these videos!!!!

[@malfuncsean]

Great job man. This is one I had been considering doing myself for years. The location of the roller coaster is correct however at the time of filming it was called The Corkscrew named after it's corkscrew like double loop. This coaster closed in 1989 and was moved to Silverwood Park in Idaho where it is still operational today. So you can still ride the actual coaster from Summer School. Boomerang opened in it's place in 1990. Then that was torn down in 2017 and today it's a new coaster called Hang Time. Keep up the good work man.

[@80sLife]

Hey thanks man, I really appreciate it. Yeah I realized about the coaster shortly after I posted. I had totally forgot about corkscrew. Oh well, what can you do. Thanks so much for watching

[@chuckfan1]

Nit pick....

[@malfuncsean]

@@chuckfan1 Would have been a nit pick if maybe they had just changed the name of the roller coaster but it's a completely different coaster. The character Chainsaw even refers to the double loop in his dialogue while reviewing the coaster. So there is nit picking and there is just being wrong. I've made plenty of mistakes myself and when I'm wrong about something I want to be corrected and know the facts. His videos are mini history lessons and I believe he wants the history to be accurate.

[@ljinbs]

Yep, I worked at Knott's when this was filmed there. It was definitely the Corkscrew. And the parachute ride was called the Sky Jump.

Going to watch it tonight. Have not seen it since probably the early 90s. I absolutely LOVE the detail you put into lining up the shots and showing key stuff that still exists. I know this is off topic but do you ever go to any old school BMX bike shows around your parts? When I was an 80s kid, Freestyle BMX was my life in about 1985 1986. Had a GT Pro Performer but sucked at doing tricks. Lol. Wasn't as big here (Oklahoma) as California.

Thanks I really appreciate that. No not really. My son has a Dyno that I built for him. I love and respect the BMX scene, but I definitely grew up more of a skater.

[@williamsinger4124]

@@80sLife as a car nerd as well as a small hardware store owner, I have to seriously inquire about that truck. I'm in the market for a smaller runabout truck, rust free. If that Tacoma is a 4x4, I may just have to get in further contact with you about purchasing it. I just last month put to rest my 04, 2.7 liter 4wd Tacoma due to rust, with 384k on it. Two clutches, a timing chain, water pump and basic services that thing gave me 14 years of dependable service. 4wd is a must bc we deal with 6 months of winter in NY, and being rural, alot of our deliveries take us down goat trails. I usually get my rigs from the Carolinas, but I'd fly to Cali (presumably) for a clean truck. Regardless, you got a new sub.
