Yes and I liked the way they filmed it. the camerawork on that scene stood out to me. Also that was filmed at Playland in Rye NY. I used to work there. I have personally operated most of those rides at one time or another. That rollercoaster is called the "dragoncoaster". it's a great ride and is the parks "mascot". It is a wooden rollercoater that has been operating since the 30's if I remember. If you listen closely at one point an announcer can be hard saying "now boarding for the dragoncoaster". if you look at the seats printed on each one is the imperative "remain seated at all times". This was not there when I used to work there. There is a ride that is an enclosed "tunnel of love" type that runs directly below the dragoncoaster. one night while I was working there a dude decided to stand up I guess because he thought it would be more of a thrill. Well, it's called the dragoncaoster because their is a tunnel in the shape of a dragon that the train speeds through. standing up he caught some part of the tunnel and was knocked from the coaster and landed on the roof of the ride below, the ride in which I was working. the thud was creepy, not a normal sound and the screams brought me out to see what all the commotion was. That was a scary night and although I hadn't thought about it in years, this scene reminded me of it, clear as if it happened yesterday. that dude, BTW, did not die, he was just injured and hospitalized. He was lucky. I heard he also sued the park. Incredible, how you can sue another party for your own stupidity.
