POTD: The Real-Life Location of Big’s Zoltar is Now a Pepsi Machine
Posted on Monday, January 3rd, 2011 by Peter Sciretta
I’ve always been fascinated with visiting the real life locations shown in my favorite movies. However, with my childhood favorites, it is almost always a depressing experience. Times change, renovations happen, and the locations barely look like they did in the movies. Scouting New York visited Rye Playland, an 82-year old waterfront amusement park which was the location of the famous Zoltar machine from the Tom Hanks movie Big. Of course, the location has been renovated, repainted, and a Pepsi machine sits in the spot where the famous fortune teller machine was in the film.
