![]() ![]() It makes entering and exiting the park at peak times very difficult as the paths to and from the parking lot are just too small. My biggest gripe with the entrance is the narrow little choke point the roller coasters and the tram happen to create. There are just masses of wood, steel, and psychedelic painted animal statues all at random intervals and spots. It's also lacking any sort of cohesiveness. You have 5 roller coasters running their circuits behind, to the sides, and even above you. The entrance to this park is exciting due to the amount of action going on around you. I arrived with my party as soon as the park opened at 12:00 pm bought our season passes and into the park we went. There was only one Tram operating at the lot, and the line was long so we opted to walk to the entrance. Parking is a bit steep at 20 dollars per vehicle. But it is 2014 and it is time to give the park a chance. The dreaded Zonga was still operating and applying wonderful day long migraines to any that dared to ride. Back then Six Flags was still under the leadership of Premier Parks and was building record breaking regional coasters every year. It has been well over 10 years since the last time I have visited Discovery Kingdom in 2003. Now with that small history lesson out of the way I'll move onto the trip report. Since Six Flags ownership the once family park was rebranded into a thrill park and christened a new name "Discovery Kingdom". In 1999 Premier Parks acquired the Six Flags chain of parks and began adding even more thrill rides and along with it Looney Tunes characters, DC comics branding, and several corporate sponsors. It took on a new face after Premier Parks took over ownership in 1997 adding several roller coasters and thrill rides. Before this Marine World was a small zoo type family park with a nice collection of small rides, animals, and shows. The park was originally known as Marine World prior to the Six Flags ownership in 1999. It is one of the two large theme parks here in Northern California competing, the other is California's Great America owned and operated by Cedar Fair. Viator does not offer these encounters.Court E Trip Review: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom May 20, 2014, 2:02 PM Along with the shows, visitors can opt for an add-on animal encounter such as a dolphin swim, giraffe feeding, or trainer for a day experience for an additional fee. The shows featuring sea lions, dolphins, and elephants can be popular, so if the park is crowded, it's wise to arrive a little early to get good seats. Numerous animal shows are presented on a daily basis, so be sure to pick up a show schedule upon entering the park. Looney Tunes Seaport, not far from the park's main entrance, is prime for families with young children thanks to Bugs Bunny and his character friends, who often make appearances in the park throughout the day.Īnimals are also a large part of the Discovery Kingdom experience, as a variety of critters are on display, from elephants, tigers, and giraffes to dolphins, penguins, and butterflies. The Northern California amusement park is made up of 135 acres featuring more than 40 thrill rides, in addition to an assortment of gentle ride for the less daring. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is known for its eight roller coasters and many animal attractions. ![]()
