Insane Aerial Footage of Flooded Valley Fair
The aerial footage of Shakopee, Minnesota's Valley Fair amusement park is truly shocking. The rivers rose rapidly during last week's flooding and had a few coasters in its devastating path. The video, courtesy of Kare 11 out of Minneapolis/St. Paul says it all.
It's important to note that the park is not closed, just certain rides. Also, the annual 4th of July fireworks will be canceled.
35 Movies That Take Place in South Dakota
When it comes to South Dakota and Hollywood, we've seen our fair share of films that have used our state as the backdrop for a number of productions over the years. They may not have always filmed here, but movie folk love to set stories here.
We're all familiar with the blockbusters like 1990's Dances With Wolves, 1959's North By Northwest, and more recently, 2007's National Treasure: Book of Secrets. But our state's life on the big screen goes back nearly 100 years.
According to IMDb, it all started with Courtin' Wildcats, a 1929 film which, like so many of the 29 films on this list, is a Western set in the time before South Dakota became a state in 1889.
