POTD: The Real-Life Location Of Big’s Zoltar Is Now A Pepsi Machine

By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 3, 2011 4:00 pm EST

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.
