𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭....that in the movie Beverly Hills Cop 3 (1994), the park is named 'Wonderworld' but in reality, it was shot in the Amusement Park 'California's Great America', Santa Clara, USA.
The owner of the park was then and still is 'Cedar Fair.'
Wonderworld was the fictitious name for the park in the movie. 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐲.
Also 'Free Willy' the movie with the Orca was shot in two parks. Namely in 'Oaks Amusement Park,' Portland, USA, and also in 'Six Flags México', Mexico City. (During the shooting 'Reino Aventura Park.') In Reino Aventura Park all scenes were shot with Jesse, and Willy learning tricks, feeding and emptying the basin. And in Oaks Amusement Park the other park scenes were shot.

Also, the movie 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (June 7, 2018) is partly an amusement park reference, namely a set of Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom stood in the parking lot of 'Six Flags, New Orleans.' The park was closed by Hurricane Katrina (August 2005) and has never reopened.
It's about the scene called 'Midway', a kind of town with a large triangular building.
In the film you see a mountain in the background, but in real life that is the background of Six Flags New Orleans.

And Disney Parks are also regularly referenced in the Sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother. For example, in one episode it can be seen that; Ted visualizes his future wife and children in his head, and then they show a picture of a family in front of the old California letters at "Disney California Adventure." So how he envisions his perfect future family in a Disney park.
