Weird how a B&M looper has better pacing than the RMC in the same park. Joker will probably be the closest to a dedicated airtime machine will probably have

@urbex_coasters Ай бұрын

They could go for a launch coaster with a hyper style layout. Get the speed off a launch, have an out and back series of airtime hills. We know Cedar Fair loves B&M so with the merger I actually can see the next coaster being effectively a B&M hyper with a launch instead of a drop.

This park isn't the prettiest, and it doesn't really break records. However, as a guy born in 99 in a trailer park next to SMF prison, this place was one place my family could afford to go and have fun. We only made it to Disney once when I was a very young boy which ended with my dad getting hit by a snail in the night parade at Disney. Long story. So this park was honestly a place of solace and fun for me during summers. We never could buy food in park though lol, maybe I can go back and try some of the food

This is my home park just twenty mins away, I've been going there since I was six and my parents were going there back when it was marine world and had the water skiing shows. Overall it makes me sad to now be older and realize how disliked this park is by so many. However, it has its charm and I think thats true even outside of my nostalgia for it. Altho I hated coasters when I was a kid the coasters like boomerang and roar helped me get into it. I always had an appreciation for the shows as well. I think this park gets ignored because it isn't a premium park, a lot of rides were brought out here rather than first designed here like Superman, and doesn't break records. So it's always nice to see it get a bit of coverage. Thanks for talkin about this park man!

@LChineze Ай бұрын

this is also my home park and i concur how underappreciated this park is. discovery kingdom is great for families since they do have animals and animal shows for people not into coasters and great for people getting into coasters. my first ride on joker is what got me interested into coasters.

I've only been to the park once Joker and Superman were closed but it’s way over hated. It has a great atmosphere, unlike some other Six Flags parks.

4:29 Kong is actually older than Bommerang. It opened in 1995 as Hangman in Opryland before it moved to Marine World.

@supercobraz2788 Ай бұрын

That is true but boomerang open on March 27th of 1998. Just 2 months before Kong Opened ,and Kong opened in May of memorial Day of 1998. So technically boomerang is the first coaster to open at Discovery Kingdom but also technically yes, Kong is the oldest roller coaster at Discovery Kingdom because it opened that Opary land USA as hangman in 1995 all the way until 1997.

@MrMattogreen25 Ай бұрын

Joker is an extremely strong star attraction, Superman is nice, and you can't go wrong with a B&M floorless (unless it's a standup converted into one). Much better than Darien Lake's lineup, which is the closest one to where I live.

As someone who just recently went to 6FDK for the first time ever last week, this is a fantasticly timed video!! Super informative & entertaining at the same time, too. The ops were so awful we only got on 5 coasters the entire day (despite having FlashPass, too!!) as 4 of them (Kong, Boomerang, Flash, Cobra) were down closed all day, but my personal ranking of those 5 comes pretty damn close to your "By the Number" rankings, too! My rankings: 1) Joker (A-) 2) Medusa (B+) 3) Superman (B-) 4) Safari Sidewinder (C+) 5) Batman (C-) Great video as always, Airtime!!

Our first visit was great this weekend to six flags discovery kingdom. I can say for certain that with Medusa, you really feel a big difference in ride length vs the other coasters. Strange theme; Medusa was a Greek mythology character, but the area looks like a rainforest jungle.

@djtwreckz Ай бұрын

Yeah I've only been maybe 2 or three times here since it converted to more of a thrill park then an animal park. Everytime I went there when Flash was opened. The ride was never opened. And every time I've checked online for what rides are opened, surprise. Flash is closed. But Medusa. Yes phenomenal floorless B&M. Intense and smooth like most B&M's. And technically California's Great America is my home park since is its closer to me, but with that still on the chopping block to close, Discovery Kingdom may turn into my home park even though Vallejo is way farther then Santa Clara for me.

Y'all know I love to shit on this park, and I claim CGA as my home park even though this is 30 minutes closer to me.... But I do have a soft spot for this place. I used to beg my ex husband to take me here, but he hated theme parks and we never went. It was the first one I visited after I got divorced, and I got my SF membership. So it's not all bad. Op's has just been especially disappointing over the last few years. If I could get multiple rides on both Medusa AND Joker in a day, I would be happy. But either one or the other will be closed, and so much else is closed that the lines for the premium rides get obscene.

@thebobkap Ай бұрын

I went to discovery kingdom a few days ago for the first time. Worst experience, worst park, worst operations I have ever EVER seen. No food open, no drink cups at stands, hours lines on rides with horrible operations ( with the exception of Superman) it was a experience that will sit with me for the rest of my life. Six flags does not deserve the merger if this is the quality of their parks.

@midnightmoonlight04091 Ай бұрын

I like how American say 150 feet is strict but Europe has way worse height limitations, I believe Phantasialand in Germany has a height restriction (I might be wrong) but Alton Towers in the UK definitely has a 65.6ft height restriction.
