Old West Town
Carefree Studios
N. Scottsdale, Arizona
For quite some
time we were stumped about the location of the Old West Town, hazarding guesses
that it might have been filmed at Old Tuscon Studios in Tuscon. But the
outstanding Jim dude has finally set us straight! He e-mailed us this
information: "Most people are unaware that
deep in the rear of the large Carefree Studios property was an Old West Street,
set among beautiful open desert (the entire studio was demolished in 1999 to
make way for "development"). I have been on this really great
Carefree Studios Old West Street many times. This is where the mistakenly
named "famous western town" scenes were filmed for "Bill &
Ted." So, it really was in Carefree after all . . . !"
This fits better with the information we have, but with the studios now
demolished it was difficult to confirm the presence of an old west set at that
location. So thanks much, Jim!
