Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Review Vallejo California

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- This marine life and amusement park offer a variety of attractions for groups of all ages, yet it still feels like a Six Flags attempt at a Busch Gardens or SeaWorld park. Does this help or take away from what Discovery Kingdom has to offer? This is my full review, as of my visit in June of 2016!

5:59 2017: better not be an s&s free spins
2019: adds Batman: The Ride
yeah......
oh six flags, never change
Lol
No one's talking about the penguins at 5:18? I'm surprised
the joker is one of our newest rides that's why it's line was long
I live in the Sacramento county so this is like the only amusement park I can go to that's fun lol
Is there long lines on roller coasters
5:18 I'm dead
WELL THIS IS MY HOME PARK
This is my home park
why do they have a 150 foot height limit?
ShIv Ballista our city has a height limit of 150 sadly. We had to downscale v2 because of it.
Xacharyah Perkins is it because of an airport or what?
ShIv Ballista it’s extremely close to a residential area
5:17 those penguins are getting a little TOO friendly with eachother ;)
Nut
There humping!!!!!z,
PenguinHub. 😂😂😂
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
SFDK has great rides. It's my home park. However, I do not like the way the animals are being treated. The elephants are being pierced with a sharp object as they continue to circle over and over again. And if you look at the rays, there are about a dozen of them, all crammed in a little pool and each one of them has a scratch/scrape of some sort on them. Very concerning. But I do love their rides. I'm going in June.
Mega Fetus Me too tomorrow
There is so much more that sees the eye. Six Flags does a lot of amazing things for their animals, which are rescued and rehabilitated. The rays are fine. They naturally live in small environments and if they were stressed out the aquarists would know. The reason why they have scratches and scrapes, also known as bite marks, are because they naturally bite each other. Rays live in schools but just like with any animal they will get a bit territorial sometimes. While I agree that forcing the elephants to do that, Six Flags does AMAZING work with animals that are going extinct and have been through heavy abuse in their lifetime.
Having worked there myself they only have 4-6 rays in the pool....i managed that area and they treat them fine....u cant even touch them without washing ur hands and theres a dome and netting to protect them from any potential threats such as extreme heat....debris....or predators
All of the stingrays that they have in the tiny pool or males and they do bite each other to show who is dominant and I have seen this happen while I was at the park The elephants I do agree with
Mega Fetus bro. They have a Boomerang, and a SLC. 2 bad vekoma rides in 1 park
They need to scrap Kong ASAP, it's one of the most miserable coasters on the planet.
CynicalExperiments ur dumb as hell . That ride made history there and it was the first one they made. Give it credit
Same, I got a headache from Kong too, stayed the whole time I was there. It's hard on your ears lol
Heys Plays “muh nostalgia”
CynicalExperiments you just gotta hold on to the metal side bars and hodl
CynicalExperiments I agree
Tomahawk? Lol. Tasmanian Devil actually.
Sorry, I probably got it confused with another similar flat ride.

Coaster Studios: "I'm not talking about adding an SNS 4D Freespin"
Six Flags: "Oh great idea, a Freespin would be great for the 2019 season!"
Coaster Studios: ...
This is one of three home parks around the Bay Area, other Than California's Great America, and Waterworld
FOOD IS SO EXPENSIVE THERE DEAR GOD
I think every amusement park has expensive food, unlike food courts at shopping malls.
SFDK is my home park, and I have to agree with you. I always felt it was a SF park for families. I'm just glad there's more for the teens and adult to do
It certainly has unique attractions, but as you said, other parks do it better.
Dialga305 What else can you say besides going off of his opinions? Or making it your own. Was your experience the same as his or are you just agreeing with him because you never experienced it yourself?
@@chaoticzomba-gameplayandmo225 u hella tight
@@chaoticzomba-gameplayandmo225 Lol wtf are you even talking about? Here's an opinion for ya. This park is an embarrassment and absolute dogshit. How's that?
It would be cool if they got an Intamin blitz coaster like maverick
maybe 2024?
Maybe 76.78242e+7802 years from now.
they have 2 launch coasters so
lol, I don’t know where you got the notion that SFDK was one of the stronger Six Flags parks, but that’s definitely not the case. It’s a decent park, but it’s on the smaller side. If they could squeeze in an Intamin Megalite somewhere, that would allow them to pack in something thrilling but still remain within the city’s height restriction. But for now, I prefer California’s Great America overall.
same
imagine sayin great america is better then sfdk. great america is literally wack & they only have one good roller coaster which is gold striker. their other roller coasters are plain and the park isnt allat. six flags has a better line up & rides.
Precious Green lmao ever heard of railblazer. the only good ride at sfdk is the joker.
@@pickleman4089 Right, RailBlazer is incredible; I consider it NorCal's best coaster, personally. SFDK's top three is solid, but I would argue CGA's top three coasters are a bit stronger. CGA's layout is a lot nicer too, imo.
pickle man at the time i went to great america railblazer was being built so i cant speak for that. but like i said the only actual good ride is gold striker & i said what i said. imagine thinking that joker is the only good ride. medusa is hella good along with V2, & Superman. even thought wonder woman isnt a roller coaster its still a good ride. six flags roller coasters are way better then great america's. its not up for debate. Grizzly is horrible, along with Demon, Flight Deck, & Flight Deck. their rides aren't better.
This is my home park and I like it, but they could definitely improve their coaster lineup. 1 way they can make it better is by adding a coaster like Hollywood Dream - The ride at Universal Studios Japan. It's essentially a B&M hyper but its only 144 feet tall. I would like to see them add one and maybe interact with Lake Chabot if they have the rights to build on it, but I don't know if they're able to fit it. If they do add one, it would give them a non-inverting thrill and steel coaster, an airtime machine, attract more visitors, and give them a nice top 3. OwO
angrybird16755 Or even better, a Chance Hyper GT-X
Yeah, and remove Kong. It gave me such a headache!
angrybird16755 yeah!!!!!!.
My home park too but they need to do something with that lake
@@carteranderson280 Lol yeah forreal.
I agree with you.. Dudes take an hour just to serve a little cup of ice cream.
Really?! And what do you think if I go afeter mid-September?
Is it possible to touch dolphins?
i' d definately think joker is a major coaster.
MovieBoysHD oh it is, but it shouldn't be the main attraction. Every park should strive to have a great top 3, and SFDK just doesn't have that.
is that bad?
Coaster Studios Joker, Medusa, Superman seems like a solid top 3.
was superman one of the first type of that coaster?
MovieBoysHD true, but they should get a giga, hyper, or one like kingda ka
3:26 when your sleeping with someone and they start moving alot
Rotflmao
I love the animals. This my home park. Oakland!
Baron Walsh Orinda!
I live in Oakland tooo!
pittsburg, ca
The park is limited on where it can place coasters because of all the animal attractions and it being a small park. There used to be no roller coasters back when it was exclusively an animal / kids park, which is why all the rides are on the old parking lot or on the side (like where the Joker is). Also I loved the Butterfly house as a kid.
If you are looking for a huge theme park, this isn't it (Magic Mountain is a 5 hour drive away). It's a small park with 2 kids areas and a bunch of family rides / shows. Where the coasters are now is pretty much the only place they are going to be, and they are locked by a river, so that's probably why they re-did roar. Not sure how you could fit another major ride unless it twists around Medusa.
5:19 - YES DADDY DON'T STOP
Fox Coaster uuuuuuuuh go harder uuuuuuuuuuuun
Ohhhhhh yassssss deeeeeeper
GT4SGM It's all the way in
You guys need to stop.
Harder faster deeper sorry my cousin made me wrong 😣
even thought it's my home park, I feel you Taylor in the way that this park needs a real depth coaster that can fit in with the height requirement like one of those chance coasters that Kentucky kingdom has and that would be awesome
I loev this place i live a mile away
He said coaster review instead of park review
Not to be rude, but if you don't count Joker or Medusa as a stand out coaster, than I just think you are picky.
Elias Mertens Joker is a prominent coaster and so is Medusa, but I'd argue that those 2 are good supporting coasters but shouldn't be the star attraction.
Coaster Studios Yes, but most six flags parks stand out roller coasters is the parks rmc.
You do make a good point, but they all have other great coasters to back it up. Look at Six Flags Over Texas, for example. New Texas Giant is the best, but you have Mr. Freeze and Titan to back it up. So if you have Joker and then Medusa to back it up, what's the 3rd? Superman? No, a Sky Rocket II isn't meant to be a star attraction. They need a prominent coaster that focuses more on airtime than inversions. There's plenty of coasters types that can do that while staying under the 150 foot height limit.
Coaster Studios I really hope they get a Chance Hyper GT-X or a Gravity Group or GCI woodie. All of those focus on airtime really well.
If you guys have ever taken a ride on V2 at discovery kingdom it is very fun and the hang time you get on it after the 1st launch and after you slow down a bit it's really fun the 150 foot limit makes this ride special because of the inversion of you ever go back I definitely recommend V2 there is no impulse that inverts you besides Volcano
Six flags magic mountain is my favorite
5:18 nice twister there
I go there almost every weekend (because i live there)its a good place for fun, thrills, and family .my personal favorite ride is madusa.also it has good food and snacks.and my personal favorite snack is rock candy.i also love the games and prizes you can win my personal favorite is ball toss.i also love the animalls there i suggest the butterfly room (or house) and the shark aquarium.😜😋😋😜😋😊😊😋😜😋😊😊😜😜😋😊☺😋😋😜😜😋😊☺☺😋😜totally recommend! The only thing i hate is i cant go there right now because of coronavirus.😭😭i cant wait till it clears up.
Did that coaster train just travel down the drop in slow motion in a regular shot? 0:40
Weird
Tyler Wood it’s just slow motion.
I feel like Six Flags is losing it they need to use that lake for a ride or something but it's just not being used. Great America feels cleaner and has a better atmosphere
Scott Coleman they can not build over the lake or anything they can't even but a show on the lake anymore because one it's the against city laws and two they would get sued if they build over that lake
Does Great America have a zoo/aquarium? Does Great America have an RMC, a huge B&M floorless, or even a launch coaster?
Elias Mertens california's great America does not have a zoo or animals at all and do not have an RMC
Grotti Crime FamilyHD I was pointing out what Discovery Kingdom had that Great America didn't to show how Discovery Kingdom is better than Great America.
well does discovery kingdom have a GCI or a waterpark? Will they even have a bright future like Great America does?
🤡Joker🃏: Awesome!
🔵Superman Ultimate Flight🔴: Cool!
🐍 Medusa 🐍:Great!
⚡️V2⚡️: Fun!
🌵Road Runner Express🐦: Ok.
🐍 Cobra: Fine...
↩️Boomerang: Meh...
🐵 KONG: SH💩T!
5:58 Well, you predicted the future
Do Intamin impulses just hate Taylor?
Lucas Bradley really tho, the one at gam and dk
Dk?
CrazyWharf625 Discovery Kingdom or DK
I agree with you. Discovery Kingdom is 2 hours away from me, but I don't visit it too often. On the other hand, CGA is 25 minutes from me, and when it opens, I will visit it with Patriot and all that good stuff.
I too don’t visit this park very much because of toll on two bridges, traffic on the freeway, and distance from where I live in San Mateo county, but Discovery Kingdom is an awesome park to me
5:18 what are they doing…😳
Okay I think you need to come back they have gotten muck more at the park as u said they didn’t get a s and s freespin but honestly you have missed out on some stuff including wonder woman an awesome pendulum ride and v2 now known as the flash is the same but pretty fun. Also the park has gotten a new look this year with there dc rides and honestly is a little better than in this review. However I highly disagree with what I said about California’s great America yes CGA Ahmad gotten new attractions including rail blazer but honestly that just about it that. In my opinion that barely makes them be just as good as six flags. The 2 ridesGCA has are just railblazer and gold striker and that’s just about it flight deck is just like Kong here at six flags and patriot is honestly not that great, yes it is better than vortex but is honestly not even close to as fun as good as Medusa. What a lot of people forget to looks and compare are the stats of the rides. If CGA was so much better than SFDK than why are the coasters literally not higher than 108 ft. And that is literally there highest. SFDK literally has 3 coasters that are 150 Ft in hight which are the flash v2, Superman, and Medusa. With the addition of Wonder Woman and Batman it honestly feels like it has more options (because it does)😂. I honestly think you should go back and re review the park
V2 is just about always broken down. They need to fix/completely replace it.
They need to have McDonalds, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut ! It’s boring going to Amusement Parks and they charge $25 for a burger combo!
I thought that joker ride was twisted colossus with on track lol
GamingWithRoss YT Medusa and Twisted Colossus had a baby
I think a custom hyper GTX or mini B&M hyper (like goliath LR or HDTR) would be nice
Yeah, let's have a Lightning Run clone replace the SLC while we're at it.
Mackenzie Fritz YES
what is HDTR?
This is my home park I think they should request a new height limit and have v2 open atleast a lot it’s like never open i went once it was open but it was amazingly great it had like so much hangtime
i live so close to that park i can see it out of my window
i Live 5-10 minutes away
Vaporeon134 cool!
No this is my favorite amusement park I go here all the time he is a liar he’s trying to make California look bad
I don’t care if it’s bad because I live forty five minutes away😁😁😁
Hey! Fairgrounds! That’s near the Franciscan Apartments.
When you said great America will have a bright future I cried
Last time I went there was literally no lines on most of the rides but Joker still had like a 25 minute wait.
I mean yeah sea world does the animals better but not as well ass the coasters in this park and other parks do the coasters better but don’t have animal shows like this one
SeaWorld does in fact do coasters better than this park, except SeaWorld San Diego. But have you seen SeaWorld Orlando or SeaWorld San Antonio these days?
It's fun to me because that is the only six flags park I go too
You are hilarious! 😂 I love this review and I agree in many respects! First of all, why is V2 almost never working??? That is an awesome ride that dominates the skyline and it’s always down when I visit. Second of all, the biggest issue with this park is NO SPACE! There is no room to expand and build a mega coaster. There is a lake taking up so much room and is not used anymore. The animals (zoo) takes up a good half of the park. Coasters I would like to see replaced are Kong and Boomerang. Honestly, nobody will miss those two when they’re gone. They are rough, uncomfortable and bang your head. Not fun! Please get rid of them. Discovery Kingdom will never be Magic Mountain, but if they fill the lake maybe they can get creative and make more space. That would be a little sad though because the lake is very pretty, but there is almost no other room to expand. To reiterate, get V2 working!! Medusa is currently the best coaster there, but Joker and Superman are also very good.
V2 is never open, the last time i went on it was when i was 9, it was also my first coaster so its disappointing i vant go on it again lately
Austin Turner it's always open
That ride is plagued with technically problems! Get it working Six Flags!! It is SO much better than Boomerang!
@@aidenferretti9797 no, it was closed nearly a year or more. I work here, it just recently reopened after being painted and relabeled "The Flash".
Hey, this is my home park. Stop being biased
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom needs a GCI or a B&M Invert (Batman the ride)
Nicholas Kim but they already do
5:18 WHY IN THE HELL DID U RECORED THAT
I’ve been there on several occcasion and my big complaint is that the park lacks focus in terms of what it wants to be. I mean, think about it: the shows, as campy and cheesy as they are more belong at a zoo rather than an amusement park, the animals are always kept in random spots on the way to the rides (Penguins in between the aquarium and the DC area and Big cats placed near some of the smaller rides in the back of the park)
Back seat on v2 is the best change my mind
3:26 Savage seal
5:58 HOW DID YOU PREDICT THAT?!!
And You Even Got The Theme Right!!!
This was the John Duffey era of Six Flags. Just a few months before this video was made, Six Flags announced 4D Free Spins for three of their parks for 2017. It wasn't that far-fetched at the time to assume every Six Flags park would receive one since it was obvious Six Flags bought them in bulk. Plus they had already built a Batman-themed 4D Free Spin in 2015 at Fiesta Texas. I still remember how mad everyone in the community was back in 2016 when Jim Reid-Anderson was replaced by "Six Flags Man" and announced three 4D Free Spins in the same year 😂😭
I like any coaster I get on (except Kong) and this park is great for anyone who lives in the valley or bay area. His criticisms are a bit stronger than mine but I'm just a casual coaster fan, its a fun park. That being said I would love it if they put an original inverted B&M or wing coaster that flies across the lake.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is my home park and, overall, I agree with this review.
The biggest upside to this park might be the exact same thing that makes it seem so, Meh. That is the fact that lines are often very short for the coasters! In many of your reviews I hear you talking about lines that are several hours long. Six Flags Great America was one that comes to mind right away. Here you are complaining that Joker took 45 minutes to an hour! The park really spoils you that way, not every time, but often enough that I take it for granted nearly every visit. Also, your review of the park came off just as meh, to be honest. You didn't talk about its rich history. I mean, it has a tiger show, a dolphin show and even had a killer whale show a few years ago! (pre-blackfish) You showed Boomerang and Kong but didn't talk about them. You get a pass for V2. I know these are not even close to new or even interesting coasters but it was your first time at the park, you are a coaster reviewer, and they are there.
The height restriction is overstated from the standpoint that Joker is one of the best coaster layouts I've been on. Cred check: I've been to Great America in Gurnee, Cedar Point OH, King's Island and Bush Garden Florida to name a few. It flows SO WELL, so well that I can go on it 5 times in a row as a middle aged man and still want more, so that's rare!
LOL at the fact that they did put in the S&S 4D Freespin you predicted.
Kong DOES need a refresh or to just go.
HOT HINT: If you ride it, wedge your arms so that you're pushing yourself back in the seat hard, head back (of course) more important that usual, and the ride will be MUCH smoother, especially for that, INSANELY BRUTAL, final break check.
Also, despite how much I adore Joker, Medusa gives it a good run for the best coaster in the park. It is fast, smooth and undersung IMO. However, it suffers from that same effect I mentioned before, that the lines are just SO SHORT that you take the amazingness for granted.
My 2 cents. Thanks for your reviews, I really enjoy them. Keep it up!
Discovery Kingdom is soooooooooooooo much better than California Great America
Lmao good joke
5:18
Why would he record that
5:58 That aged, well
this is my home park- I’m in love with it 🤷♀️👏
They just got a free spin called Batman just like the showed one
As my home park I think you are being a little harsh but I get your point there are better parks. The reason you and others might not like it is because of space. SFDC only has 135 acres of space so far and that’s not much room for an amusement park. Also there’s barely ant room to expand and make more rides because 3 sides of it is surrounded by water and the side that’s not literally has the highway right in front of it. So it’s a somewhat small park and trying to fit a new supper coaster like Madusa is like trying to fit a semi truck in your house unless they tear down a ride like Kong or Joker it’s not likely to happen, but possible. However it’s a great park and I think you should go there, just wanted to point that out.
V2 rarely runs
I always tell my parents just go to Six Flags Magic Mountain but they always say we’re going to Six Flags discovery Kingdom because it’s more close but this park is still good
Discovery Kingdom is getting an S&S freespin called Batman. It's just like Batman: the Ride at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Do you get what I'm saying?
5:18 I THOUGHT THIS WAS A KID FRIENDLY PARK!
Here in 2019 after they actually added a 4D free spin coaster 😂😂😂
5:19 me and my boo tonight🙂
Your nasty stop!😔😔 we dont need all that info!😔😒😔😒😔😒😔
I work here
5:19 Really? 😂😂
the peguins going ham :OOOO 5:21
FRRR
:OOO
Anyone here in 2024?💀
Bot
I may sound crazy for this but because they rmcd one my favorite wooden coaster of all time I like Medusa better than the joker
Taylor, I think your review was pretty much spot on; I visited this park earlier this year, and yes, Joker, Medusa, & Superman are pretty much the only coasters worth enjoying. V2 seems to be closed(Indefinitely?), and I heard Kong was so bumpy and rattly that I decided to pass. As an animal lover, I really did enjoy the Zoo and Marine wildlife aspect of the Park, other than the very weak acting in the Sea Lion show. -- (yes I know the whole Wild animals in captivity argument). The negatives were the ridiculously slow and understaffed food vendor lines, and so much of the park had abandoned show arenas, and there were constant shutdowns of all the major attractions. I did need the entire day to cover all aspects of the park, including riding the top 3 a couple times.
5:58.. Dude i think u have intuition cuz they just added the same coaster, & same name to the park O_o !?
Pretend Theme park; Six Flags Epic Adventures. Attractions That Were At Six Flags Epic Adventures; A Roller Coaster Exactly Like Behemoth At Canada's Wonderland Called Batman Knight Flight, A Zamperla Giant Discovery Called Giant Frisbee, A Roller Coaster Exactly LIke Eagles Life In The Fast Lane At Hard Rock Park Called Runaway Mine Ride,
Oh man.. 2022 here and let me tell ya.. I love me some Great America in Santa Clara... But boy that park needs a coat of paint at the very least. The Top Gun ride- oh I'm sorry, Top Flight is covered in cob webs and dirt, the 2 story ferris wheel is also dirty and old......
Can't wait to check out Discovery Kingdom for the 1st time this year!
As someone local to this park, I can VERY much conform this assessment. If you're thinking of going here, then just skip it and drive the extra hour to California's Great America. Not as big, but coasters are MUCH more potent in experience.
Also you don't have half the park being eaten up by a fucken zoo. I go to amusment parts for coasters and flatrides. not to see fucken animals. If I wanted that, I'd go to a zoo, NOT A THEMEPARK.
I have to agree. Was a bit let down by this park. It's still a decent park. The rides are fun, the animals are cool, but nothing really stood out. Joker was OK, but I expected more from an RMC, Superman was fun, but I've been on other Sky Rocket II's, Medusa was good, but i've been on better floorless coasters. And despite the animals, this felt like a run of the mill six flags park. Not terrible, but could have been better.
We were there in 2019. Like most six flags parks tend to be dirty, not well maintained. Discovery Kingdom tried to nickel and dime you. I would not recommend it to anyone and I will not go again. ...Go to California's Great America. It's a much nicer park.
I went there back in the late 80's or early 90's when it was called "Marine World/Africa USA" and they had orangutans walking around the park by themselves unattended. It's probably against youtube policy to tell you what those orangutans did when I was there.
Haha you must be a mind reader! 2019 they got a S&S 4D free spin. Good job.
I disagree, If you look at SFDK it is meant to be much more of a family theme park and as such it is great for what it is it has some fun rollercoaster to satisfy the members of the family looking for thrills but for the most part it is a place to have fun with your kids, but this is not a thrill park, though it would be much better if they replaced the atrocity that is Kong. Seriously revamp it make it smoother and call it Wrath of Kong or Kong's Revenge.
If your talking theme parks for thrill seeker then obviously it is just meh there are so much better choices just focusing in California: Great America, Knott's Berry Farm, and Magic Mountain are all more worth it though I do love DK's top three over Great America, just because of how slow Great America's rides are (though Great America is often less crowded with a wait time half of DK for that given day)
You want a good theme park??😏😏😏 well then great American is the one you should go to😌😌😁 has AMAZING ridesssssss, you know!!😭😭😭😄😄
This is my home 2nd home park and personally I think they have way too many animals and not enough rides they also have no wooden coaster or a DROP TOWER. They can’t even build higher than 150ft so no hyper coaster My rating: 3/5
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom or California's Great Amrica? I have the option to go to one of them. Note tgat Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is free because of my season pass
I wanna visit discovery kingdom someday I live in Texas😀😊😊😊
Omg this is what happened to
Marine World Africa USA! The last time I went must have been in the late 90s, because they were making jokes referencing the movie “Clueless” during the marine mammals show.
I'm in southern California so I don't know if I'll ever go there I've only been to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Disney land, Lego Land, Sea World San Diego, and Knotts
I used to go here when I was a kid in the 80ds and 90ds, it was called Marine world Africa USA and they only had animals so the animals were originally there, if you see the whale or dolphin or bird or any of the other animal shows they will educate you. They only added the rides and six flags to get people to come to the park to see the animals. There were once helped by SeaWorld and now its Six flags. Six flags kind of took over and now the animals are just not that important. I do like the rides sometimes and love the animals but I kind of feel bad for the animals because they are suffering for our entertainment of roller-coasters, fast rides and screaming. There is even a fright fest that is pretty good too, there are haunted houses and zombies walking around and craziness. They even do the thriller dance, and some of those dancers are good.
