Long Beach was another one of the Peppermint shooting locations. According to Billingsley, the shoot in Long Beach was a great experience. The Ferris Wheel and carousel at The Pike lend a magical look to the film. Due to the beauty of the location, the director even made changes to the script. This location was suggested after the team understood that the Cyclone Racer walking bridge was not ideal for the scene with Riley’s child. They had to consider a few things during the shoot and that involved the local community. Hence, they even involved people on board.
