Important: This article has been updated to change the word "coaster" to "ride". My apologies to all.
The city I'm in today is no dirty little secret in pop-culture. It's been referenced in a comic book mini-series, in musicals, and in pop music, including a Top 20 hit from the 1980s that was put out by a best-selling artist who seems to be living a fantasy - this person has sold more than 100 million records. I came to this city once last year with my college buddies and let's just say, it was one wild ride.
Speaking of references, this town was also the filming location of a music video that I've referenced in the clue above. Specifically, an amusement park in the city was used in the video. The name of my favorite ride there is also the name of a Beatles song.
What town am I in, and what amusement park and ride am I speaking of?

still seems a little funky to me though.
You're in Hollywood/Los Angeles at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Revolution roller coaster
~~(I think the artist is Michael Jackson; one of his music videos was shot on Union Pacific Avenue, Los Angeles)
Ticket to Ride was my loose interpretation for Coney Island since the Beatles filmed a show episode titled that at Coney Island, where they rode the Cyclone.
Patty you may be onto something.
and I'm working on the Beatles link
There was an error in the above article. I changed the word "coaster" to "ride". Good luck!
I'm not going to guess, because I didn't do any work. You guys did all the work.
This one was a doozy!
Revolution at Dorney Park in Allentown, Pa.
I spent a lot of time on this one and even had my husband helping me. I guess yesterday was just to easy, as I had it quickly.
Allentown, PA at Dorney Park....and the ride is Revolution.
I was in Allentown PA at Dorney Park. The ride I was referring to was the Revolution. As for the other clues...the artist I mentioned was Billy Joel and the music video was "Dirty Little Secret" from the All-American Rejects.
Janet "Jax" B. congrats on being drawn for the 100 Gather Points too.
(should've changed my answer....!!)
