    Features (version 2.5)

    - Full recreation of Cedar Point amusement park and immediate surroundings (inc. causeway, marina, Hotel Breakers, Cedar Point Shores waterpark). This package contains a mix of hand-crafted and photogrammetry models; as of version 2.0 all roller coasters and large rides are fully hand-modeled and textured, along with many buildings (see below); the remainder are cleaned up and color corrected versions of existing Google photogrammetry models.

    - LOD models used throughout

    - Some terraforming to restore the breakwater around the marina as well as the long jetty on the far NW end of the peninsula. Also includes extensive shoreline corrections along the Cedar Point peninsula and around Sandusky Bay, to correctly show piers, marinas, breakwater/jetties, etc.

    - Retouched tree placement throughout

    - Hand-placed boats in the marina (optionally included as a separate package in this download), using MSFS-native static models.

    - Accurate aircraft warning beacons and strobes on Millennium Force, Top Thrill 2, Valravn, Windseeker, and Power Tower. Customized night lighting for many coasters and rides.

    - Park-wide night lighting enhancements.

    - Removed nearby KSKY airport facilities to match updated satellite imagery, and added basic handcrafted buildings for new sports park on site.

    New in version 2.5

    - Completely new model for Top Thrill 2, matching its updated paint scheme and 2024 modifications. The new 420-foot rear spike is fitted with accurate aircraft warning lights. (on a personal note, this was the first coaster I ever hand modeled all the way back in 2020, much more primitively back then of course, so this was an especially fun update)
    - Thoroughly revamped models for Millennium Force, Rougarou, Raptor, Gatekeeper, Corkscrew, Valravn, and Maverick.
    - Texturing/shading improvements (incorporating smooth shading as applicable) and material property updates throughout
    - Various minor model fixes and exclusion/vegetation polygon updates
    - Fixed potential ModelLib conflict for Sandusky Sportspark package
    - All packages recompiled with the most recent SDK

    New in version 2.1
    - Greatly expanded the scope of water corrections in the vicinity of the park now that water polygons are back to working under WU13. Uncovered marinas, piers, and other water features, and fixed various shorelines and ponds along Sandusky Bay.

     

    New in version 2.0

    - All wooden-structure roller coasters (Steel Vengeance, Gemini, Blue Streak, Cedar Creek Mine Ride) are now hand modeled.
    - All Google 3D models replaced with handmade models for the entrance/midway and marina areas. At this point, all buildings in the front half of the park (i.e. from the park entrance up to Corkscrew) are hand modeled, along with the Hotel Breakers and Lakeside Pavilion areas.
    - Newly modeled areas: parking entrance plaza, causeway bridges, Sandusky-side entrance sign, breakwater lighthouse
    - Removed Wicked Twister roller coaster (RIP).
    - Many flat rides are now hand modeled.
    - Model/texturing improvements and material property updates throughout
    - All packages recompiled with the most recent SDK.

    Love this! When you update this again which will be next year. Make sure to add the new sirens curse coaster! itll look great.

    WOW !! The incredible detail you put into this rendition of Cedar Point is insane! I cannot imagine how much time you put into this and it clearly shows. The detail right down to the correct coaster paths and colors. I knew what every single ride was. Superb Work! 10/10

    Brilliant!

    Thank you for creating this scenery.

    I live 15 minutes from the park and have enjoyed a number of evening flights around the area with my friend in his airplane.

    My family and I have a season pass to Cedar Point and this is a great rendition!

    As an aside, I'm sure you probably already know, but as of July 1, 2024, it will no longer be known as Cedar Point but as Six Flags Entertainment Corporation as they have merged. It's the end of an era, but hopefully not the end of fun!

    Thank you so much for what you do and sharing your talents with the community.

    Will we see an update to the scenery, with Top Thrill 2?

    about 2 years ago

    I'm wrapping up a different project right now, but this is high on my to-do list once that's done, along with some other smaller model updates hopefully.

    Many thanks from Warstein in Germany that you re-designed this to a wonderfull place to fly to :-)

    Love your sceneries. Unfortunately this (Cedar Point) scenery seems to be causing stutters since SU13. Thanks.

    over 2 years ago

    Hmm, interesting. I'll have a look at this.

    almost 3 years ago

    Very well done! Thank you. This version is much improved over the one that I had from 3 years ago.

    almost 3 years ago

    Thanks so much! Of the scenery packages I've made this is probably my sentimental favorite.

    almost 3 years ago

    You could be possibly causing CTD's for people. You should consider renaming or placing in unique paths your 2 modellib.bgl and other files. my bet is there are other files out there called sportscenter, but maybe not at that exact path. "scenery\mycompany" is not a unique path, as many developers, like you, don't bother to rename the directory. You should rename that.


    But thanks for the work! I know Asobo isn't clear about how to name things so conflicts don't occur.

    almost 3 years ago

    Good catch, thanks (though tbf I haven't yet heard of anyone actually getting crashes with this scenery from modellib conflicts). The main Cedar Point package was fixed for that issue several updates ago, but I guess I never did the same for the other two parts. I'll have to address that.


    If anyone is getting CTDs in the interim, suggest they remove those two packages.

    almost 3 years ago

    It's easy enough to fix by hand by just renaming the files and updating the layout.json
