    Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, Los Angeles, CA - Image 1

    Description

    Six Flags Magic Mountain (known from 1971 to 1979 as just Magic Mountain) is a 262-acre theme park located in Valencia, CA, about 35 miles north of downtown Los Angeles. Originally built by the Newhall Land and Farming Company and opened in 1971, the park now boasts the world's largest collection of roller coasters, with 20; the most recent, Wonder Woman Flight of Courage, opened in Summer 2022. A major area landmark, particularly for those driving into the Los Angeles metro area from the north via I-5, the park celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021.

    Features

    • Full replacement of the default photogrammetry for Six Flags Magic Mountain (and adjacent Hurricane Harbor waterpark) with a combination of fully handmade 3D models (all roller coasters and large rides, many buildings) and cleaned up Google 3D photogrammetry-derived models (other buildings and structures). My hand models are created from a wide variety of 3D, aerial, photo, and video reference sources.
    • LOD models for the heavier placements, reducing performance impact.
    • Accurate customized night lighting, including aircraft warning beacons, lift hill lights, path lighting, etc. Ride lighting is generally placed in Blender with the models, while area lights and path lights are MSFS-native.
    • Extensively hand-adjusted vegetation (optimized for Bijan Habashi's Four Seasons Pack, but compatible with default vegetation as well)
    • Terraforming and water exclusion as needed, including uncovering the dry riverbed that runs past the park.
    • The park is presented more or less in its present state as of mid-2022. I intend to continue updating this scenery to add and remove rides along with the park, make paint scheme updates, etc., along with modeling improvements and the like as time allows.

    New in Update 1.1

    • Added hand-modeled Wonder Woman roller coaster
    • Improved hand-models for West Coast Racers and Crazanity
    • Replaced Google-derived models with hand models in area adjacent Wonder Woman roller coaster
    • Changed color scheme of Tatsu to reflect 2022 repaint
    • Miscellaneous adjustments to material properties and LOD settings for various models.

    NOTE:  Because of the current limitations of the sim in photogrammetry areas, it's not possible to override the aerial imagery, so there are some inevitable mismatches where rides or buildings have been added/removed since Bing captured their imagery in the area, or where a color scheme has changed.

    The parks parking area has now been filled with solar panels with parking underneath them. They also did away with the old gas station covered area just down from the park entrance on the right.

    Everything looks great! I'm mostly here for the Santa Clara river water fix but it's nice to have an accurate representation of Magic Mountain. Thanks!

    Great job on the 3d modeling and getting all the rides to be accurate and at scale with real life and the base game. I was the one that made the Google photogrammetry version of this park last year which does not include WCR, recolored Tatsu, and Crazanity so it's very neat to see them here!

    Keep up the awesome work on these parks!
