<P> In the film , the Walley World theme park is represented by Santa Anita Park in Arcadia , California and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia , California . Santa Anita Park 's large parking lot and blue - tinged fascia served as the exterior of Walley World , while all park interior scenes were shot at Magic Mountain . The two roller coasters seen in the film are The New Revolution , which can be recognized by the vertical loop , and Colossus , the duelling wooden roller coaster . </P>
