dannyboy13 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Definitely picturing it differently than me. And I also believe every park needs a drop tower. Finally got to the park to ride Joker today. Been a busy summer and just didnt make it out until now somehow. Anyway..... I like it. Rode in the first row on the first train of the day, then in row 10 around 3pm. Second ride was much better. Felt faster and way more forceful. I like Colossus better, but Joker is easily the best coaster in Vallejo now, and I'd say all of NorCal too. Park was really busy today. Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but Kong is closed for the "upgrades.". Penguin was closed all day too, as was VooDoo, but everything else I saw was open. Only stayed until about 4 as the crowds were too much for me. Took an hour to get food at Macho Nacho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_dreamfinder Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Was at the park over the weekend. Kong was closed and there is already scaffolding going up on different sections of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Wild New WONDER WOMAN Lasso of Truth Ride Attraction Set to Open at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in 2017 VALLEJO, Calif. — September 1, 2016 —Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, the Thrill Capital of Northern California, in partnership with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on behalf of DC Entertainment, today announced its newest ride attraction, WONDER WOMAN Lasso of Truth, to open in Spring 2017. “It is our intention to open new, innovative attractions every season,” said Don McCoy, park president. “Wonder Woman is an iconic Super Hero and this character and thrill ride will add greatly to our line-up of DC themed attractions.” WONDER WOMAN Lasso of Truth is an oversized pendulum shaped ride that will send guests on a dizzying journey in this thrilling and extreme attraction.

Some ride highlights include: - 40 riders will propel at speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour; - The ride swings back and forth while rotating counterclockwise; and - As guests swing higher and higher, they will experience a feeling of weightlessness at 147 feet in the air. WONDER WOMAN Lasso of Truth will be located near two of the park’s newest attractions, Superman Ultimate Flight and The Joker, which opened earlier this year. Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is also announcing the start of 2017 Season Pass sales with its Third Annual Flash Sale through Labor Day weekend featuring the lowest prices of the year – savings up to 70% off on 2017 Passes!

rolercstrluvr Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think this is going to be a wonder addition to the line-up that SFDK has. I'm just trying to figure out where they're going to put it. The only place I can see it going logically is right where the go-karts are. Since this swings 150 ft in the air, it's gonna have to be placed somewhere up front. Because there's no way that it's fitting between joker and superman.

Mater Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Seriously badass addition. Surprised no announcement of a retheme of that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 This is going to look great at the park, I'm also curious where they're going to install it. Love the Wonder Woman theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa07 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Looks like a great addition for DK, and I think the WW theme will work really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsdude360 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Looks like SFDK is getting the second Zamperla Giant Discovery to be installed in the SF chain. Having ridden Riddler Revenge at SFOT, I can tell you they're amazing. And easily the best flat ride currently available!!! Congratulations!!!

singemfrc Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Awesome news. The best kind of coaster (RMC) last year, and the best flat ride this year. My little home park is growing up! Can't wait to ride this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Looks like a great addition! Hopefully I can FINALLY make it up to SFDK next year after living in SoCal my whole life and never visiting the northern parks. While there is only one new custom coaster between both chains, I am pleased to see that something is coming to EVERY park, with a big chunk of those being much-needed flat rides.

coasterbill Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Damn, an RMC and a Giant Frisbee back-to-back right after they became a year-round park. It must be nice to be you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I always thought this park had a lot of promise and was one of the nicer parks in the chain. Nice to see it getting some recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Probably the best flat ride a park could get. I love these things! Great addition for SFDK. But the one in Montreal is closer to me. And the one in SFOT is even closer. So, I won't be traveling back to SFDK anytime soon for this. But the locals there are going to love it!

dannyboy13 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Great addition. Though seriously, where is this going? I always thought when they took out the go kart track, it would be for the S&S Free Spin Batman (especially since there are now 2 Batman villain rides). Wonder what is getting removed to fit this in.

coasternate Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Looks like another great ride. I'm so glad my home park has been getting so many great additions! Just keeps getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasBaby Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) These Giant Discovery pendulum rides are probably my favorite flat rides and I'm very happy to see SFDK get one. It's a little bit of an odd choice though considering how similar the ride is to Tazmanian Devil. I wonder if Taz is on it's last legs and will be removed in the future? Either way, it's great to see the park get such a big addition after getting Joker last year. Edited September 1, 2016 by VegasBaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_dreamfinder Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Wow. I'm so surprised (in a good way) that the park is getting another great thrill addition after The Joker. Like others I'm curious where this might go. I gotta think that this is going somewhere in the Joker, Superman, Penguin area to keep up with the theme (and to balance out the heroes to villains ratio). Great addition!

Manic Monte Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think it's going at the very front of the park, on the other side of Superman. It looks like they'll use the space that's already been cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy13 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think it's going at the very front of the park, on the other side of Superman. It looks like they'll use the space that's already been cleared. I was just at the park last weekend. There is no space already cleared that will fit something like this. Are you talking about kind of between Superman and Joker, because I really don't think that area is big enough for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Monte Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Yep, that's where I think it's going. Looks large enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy13 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 It would be cool to have it swinging out over people as they are walking to the park. Guess we'll find out pretty soon where it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
