Europa-Park is a large theme park in Rust, Germany. It offers around one hundred rides, several shows, and thirteen roller coasters, six hotels, a camping site, a tepee village, a cinema and a water park. In 2019 the park decided to create a 3D map of the area to be used for large prints inside the park, as hand-outs for visitors and for a navigation app that is based on Google GPS data.
Synopsis
All locations, buildings and attractions are build on a 1:1 scale in Maya, based on different sources (construction drawings, photographs). Until now there a three versions of the map: a summer, winter and halloween scenery with differing attractions, set dressing and lighting set ups.
Production
Next to it’s primary function as a navigation tool, the 3D map was since used as a set and backdrop for a number of productions like animated shorts, panoramic flying theaters and 4D cinema movies.
