I can understand that it might be a temporary building, and I hope it is, but it's hard to tell, and regardless it's a sad sight. But it looks like a trailer inside and out, and that's just cheap, and bad show. The process involves you entering a trailer attached to the side of the park. The park Trash Cans are the only way to identify if an area is considered "Land", "Sea", or "Air".īeing the park opening we decided to have our season passes taken care of. Air rides can be right next to Sea shows and it can be vise versa on the other end of the park. There is no division among the listed sub sections. The way the park divides it are some attractions are "Land" shows/exhibits, others are "Sea" shows/exhibits, and others are considered to be "Air" attractions. The park is divided into 3 sub sections, "Land," "Sea," and "Air." I'll refrain from calling them "zones" or "lands," because there aren't any. The dolphin fountain in the middle of the plaza is the hub and the rest of the park branches out from there. Lockers are to your right, the large souvenir store is to your left. The entrance plaza is surprisingly calm compared to the whirlwind of attractions you just passed walking in. Even light crowds coming in and out seem to bottle neck, which it wouldn't have to if the path were just a few feet wider. 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.
