Andrewoplis Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 (edited) So yesterday,(4/20/11) I payed a visit to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, my home park. Most of the rides were running great and the staff was really good at getting the crowd hiped up! SkyScreamer is coming closer and closer to being done and ready of testing, they were working on what looked to be the control center when I was there. Right before the park opened, there was announcement stating that all session pass holders will get 1HOUR OF MEDUSA ERT starting at 10:30! So here is part 1: Hello Six Flags Discovery Kingdom There used to be a Schwarzkopf looper here. Medusa Testing SKYSCREAMER!!! is not done yet, but it will open about 40 days! Most of the rides 150ft tower This is V2, V2 is good And here is a full shot of SkyScreamer I like how the tree the covers the I can still work as an I! Oh no's! V2's spike is being eating by a tree! Something looks different here.. ..Yep, this BigSpin also got a Pandemonium name change. I think every BigSpin did. There's airtime here Here is BigSpin,er, I mean Pandemonium Time for some GCI goodness! The best part is not only was Roar running really well that day, it's second train was back too!!!! I dont know why I took this picture, but V2 broken so it was time for Medusa ERT!! DOLPHIN!! I like how I got the parks 3 tallest rides in one shot! Something is missing here... Wow, this is the line to get a session pass? Good thing I already got mine! I don't remember what this was, but it looks cool! The assent Why ride a Vekoma when you got ERT on a smooth, not that rattly B&M? I dont know what it was, but Medusa was running really kick a$$ that day( I mostly rode in the back) The airtime on the first drop was a lot more extreme and consistent, it wasn't that rattly, and there were a lot more forces! There's a Vekoma behind that tree This is a bad shot of the line waiting for Medusa ERT to end, the lined ended just about were I was standing Yeah! V2 is working!! The sign The "new" train There is some good floater air in the back on this spike Weeeee!! More Photos coming soon! Edited April 23, 2011 by Andrewoplis

Andrewoplis Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 (edited) PART 2: Time to ride Hammerhead with its sexy new safety belts Didn't this used to be a Papa John's? This is were you can see a whale to cool tricks! Time for some more Intamin goodness! This ride is very fun and I also have a story. When I was on the ride, the lift hill to take you back to the station was broken, so our boat, and many other were stuck. But the worst part is that it started raining, hard! But either way its a fun ride! The small Sky coaster The Cobra Roll of pain Boomerang is, guess what? Broken! So I lefted to go on the other rides. Time a ride on the frisbee, or Tasmanian Devil as the park calls it. And surprise, surprise! This ride wasn't working either!!! Come on Discovery Kingdom! Get your act together! The old iWerks 4D Theater ride building, it sucks that this had to close because it was a pretty cool ride Here is the rides que, it looks like there are using to for storage and I don't know whats going on inside the ride's building, but im sure they are storing things in there. I just wish they would open it back up again! Is it really THAT costly to maintain? I saw that Boomerang was open with a short line so I rode it. I only got a very minor veCOMA this time around! Loopy! Not this time Vekoma wheels The mandatory 2 Vekoma's and the first add station shot! Tiger RIP Tava! But they have other elephants too! Time for a little Top Spin fun! This is probably that worst out of all the Huss Top Spins ive been on, no water, short program, and just over not as good as it could be. But its still a fun ride anyway What happened to the pretty pink flamingos that used to hang out there? Yep, stuck again! Yeah! Blue Sky! Here is the poorly ran Zamperla Ark thingy! But seriously, Roadrunner Express probably goes higher than this thing! Hey Al! Scatabout, the parks scrambler. I like this version of scrambler than the Wisdom Sizzlers. Part of the bird show. As you can tell, Dolphin harbor and Shouka Stadium are right next to each other. Yeah! The fisbee is working! This ride also has a short program but its alot of fun! NOTED! More iWerks photos V2 poping out of the trees Yeah, this photo brings back some bad memories. Lust just say that I was "lucky" enough to see a dolphin being "made" Look! The other Intamin water ride is working! Right before the SKLOOSH! Edited October 9, 2011 by Andrewoplis
Andrewoplis Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 PART 3: Stingy Stingray! This is were can feed and hang out the dolphins Time for some more Roar. ( that kind of rimes!) The sign and entrance The TWISTY part of V2. The part with airtime on V2 A better view of the sign for you Larry A dolphin in a hoop, what more do you need? He didn't know what was coming in the amusement industry. He must be new Seal! This a picture of what looks to be the future entrance and exit of Sky Screamer A closer look at that top peace New for 2011, its Dirt: the experience!! I thought that the refurbished trains would help smoothen up the ride. But it actually made it WORST! ..from the pain! Smooth Rough ZOMG! Its one of those Zierer long train thingies! Cobra at 1000 mph! There's a credit (well not for me) in here some were Story time! I was in here, minding my own business when this kid I don't even know comes up to me and chucks a ball a my face!! What an a$$hole! Time to be sad and pathetic! There's some thing missing here.. ...ah, that's better! Corkscrewed! Swingy swing swing swing ( if you didn't know, this place has a crap load of Zamperla rides!) These are actually pretty good bumber cars! Hello again hammerhead, ill be seeing you for the film shoot on Monday! Oh, and it was no working when I took this picture! I always though Seaside junction (Thomas Town) was a dis-improvement of the park, the only thing that came out of it was shorting the train ride,two rides that are already at the park, and taking up space for a good attraction There used to be a Chance Wipout here Hello Mr. Walrus Time for some more Pandebigspin I always thought that this ride was underrated. People who paid lots of money to hang out with dolphins The helix of "ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!!!" Before the airtime Roar's train is being eaten by a tree! On last Sky Screamer photo Thanks for reading! And please comment and tell me what you think!
