In the original "National Lampoon's Vacation", they finally get to Walley World and it's closed.  Which would never happen today, right?  Not so fast . . .

A 19-year-old kid from New York named Jonathan Gualpa stole a taxi on Tuesday morning, and tried to drive it to a Six Flags theme park in New Jersey.

But he didn't realize it was still closed for the winter, and doesn't open until April 6th.

It didn't really matter anyway, because he never made it there.  Cops used a GPS device in the cab to track it down, and caught up with Jonathan in New Jersey.

Turned out he'd barely made it out of Manhattan before he had to pull over and take a nap.  And police found him sleeping in the backseat.

He's facing charges for receiving stolen property.
