Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Review Vallejo California

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!

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.

[@goof_yo]

Mega Fetus Me too tomorrow

[@kylebergstrom5927]

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.

[@lordzorgon4206]

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

[@GrottiCrimeFamilyHD]

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

[@Mechum22]

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.

[@pickleman4089]

same

[@preciousgreen6105]

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.

[@pickleman4089]

Precious Green lmao ever heard of railblazer. the only good ride at sfdk is the joker.

[@Mechum22]

@@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.

[@preciousgreen6105]

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.

[@angrybird16755]

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

[@stevenschiro1838]

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.

I loev this place i live a mile away

[@ConceptualCoasters]

He said coaster review instead of park review

[@eliasmertens9313]

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.

[@CoasterStudios]

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.

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Coaster Studios Yes, but most six flags parks stand out roller coasters is the parks rmc.

[@CoasterStudios]

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.

[@eliasmertens9313]

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.

[@performancereviews5987]

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

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

[@lucasgherardi4765]

5:18 what are they doing…😳

[@saavedravideos258]

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

[@grace-zb5zx]

[@stephenn77]

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.

[@austinturner2205]

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)

[@triple7marc]

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 😂😭

[@Waffles252]

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.

[@daveyboygee]

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!

[@Raydz]

They just got a free spin called Batman just like the showed one

[@Spacemanimations]

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.

[@Drumdude62]

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.

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!

[@LegolasNordark]

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.

[@chobo500]

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.

[@sashas3362]

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.

[@mikemakesvids8722]

Haha you must be a mind reader! 2019 they got a S&S 4D free spin. Good job.

[@aaronrumph3291]

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!!😭😭😭😄😄

[@blocky8651]

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

[@andrewpennell7920]

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

[@sebakker5955]

I wanna visit discovery kingdom someday I live in Texas😀😊😊😊

[@zengseng1234]

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.

[@soulsealsaul5553]

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

[@ChillVibesHarmonies]

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.

[@zachguest8565]

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom looks alright i think the busch gardens parks look like better animals parks and seaworld ones id rather go to Californias Great America witch iv never been to or Knotts Berry farm witch i loved looks like the park has a great animal collection and flat ride collection but coasters some dont look like my kind

[@cable5653]

I think sfdk is good for marathoning but i do also think the big dirty lake could be used for something cool. It's ok though I still have tons of options from my location. Santa Cruz, great america, magic mountain. All are less than a days drive from my house

[@SPIDERcarnage85]

I love it I live in Vallejo California and its 5min drive or 25 min walk for my house I live right next to the park I been going almost every friday by myself and ride the ride that my little cousin can't ride and we go on Sunday sometimes

[@kylelorensen8101]

This is kinda my home park but Great America is so much closer. I guess that not being able to go here as much means I kinda idealize it as better than GA because of the bigger rides but I guess from an unbiased perspective they're on an equal playing field. I may try to go here this summer anyways

[@nothanyul]

NGL this park needs better rides, and this is my home park. but there are other options like california's great america, but i dont wanna spend extra to go in since i have a members pass for six flags

[@ivyy6437]

I have to admit, SFDK isn't the best amusement park. It just feels as if there are no more rides to ride after an hour. Plus it gets boring cause there's more kid rides rather than roller coasters. :(( I love Great America in Santa Clara a lot more.

[@hieloluna]

The animals looked miserable in your video. And what’s with all the concrete? Those seals looked uncomfortable laying on it and the wolves would have liked a forest setting of some kind.
