Family that lived at an amusement park

If I’m recalling it correctly the home would shake when the roller coaster (or some other ride) would go by, over or near the house. I’m thinking it would most likely be at least 25 years old.

Woody Allen’s classic 1977 film Annie Hall has some hilarious flashbacks of his character’s childhood growing up in a house underneath the roller coaster at Coney Island. In one very funny scene, he tries to eat soup while the house is shaking. He attributes growing up in this house to his nervous nature.

It is such a funny gag that I imagine other movies may have also used it. But I will post some links to clips from Annie Hall that show the family home under the roller coaster, in case one of them rings a bell.
