jray21 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I saw that as well. I was a little concerned that some people may go overboard with the whole "fight" part of the event, until I saw that they were "plush" snowballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I sure hope Wonder Woman gets repaired soon so I can ride it on my upcoming annual visit. If anyone goes to the park soon and sees it running, make sure to post! The other two.... will not be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaiden M Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Any timetable on when they should be up-and-running again? Thanks. Wonder Woman is back up and running. Not sure when the other two open up but it should be before 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpengeistdude321 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hey guys, it has been a long time since I have posted. I am new to Northern California and I was thinking about making a trip to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom this Monday (New Years Day). I have never been to SFDK before and I am just wondering what I should be expecting in terms of rides operating (or not operating) and crowds? Just seeing if it is worth shelling out $90 for a day ticket and parking as well as a nearly 2 hour trip from the Santa Cruz area. Thanks for your help!

thrillseeker4552 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 ^If you’re going to spend $90 for a day ticket, just buy a season pass at that point. That is always the way to go with Six Flags. Plus, that pass can also get you into Magic Mountain if you ever find yourself available to head down there. I can’t speak about crowds, since I’ve never been to the park, but I assume it will be crowded considering they are still open daily the week of New Years.

jray21 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Yeah, I would get a season pass as well. If you have 4 or more people, you can get them for $65 each, and it's upgraded to Gold with free parking. As for New Year's Day, it's pretty good at opening, but get's pretty busy later on. Most people are too tired in the morning and hung over to get the park at opening. However, the park doesn't open until 11 am so it won't be dead, but not too bad in the morning.

alpengeistdude321 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Thank you for the quick responses. I may end up getting the season pass since I do spend time down in SoCal and I may do a trip to Magic Mountain. I do plan on flying solo on my trip to SFDK so the group of four discount will not apply. The park is open such a short window of time (10:30 AM - 6 PM) and I am going to do all I can to avoid eating in the park (probably means an early lunch). If either The Joker or Medusa are not operating, I am not even going to bother making the trip. Have those rides been consistently running even during the winter season?

jray21 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 There's a Carls Jr. right across the street, but I absolutely love the Crepe and Mini-Donut place. It's worth the extra few bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good at all Six Flags parks for all of 2018, and it will get you free parking at all Six Flags parks. You can't really go wrong with it!

alpengeistdude321 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) Thank you for your help! I bit the bullet and decided to go to SFDK today. First time! I will let you know how my trip goes! UPDATE: It ended up being a good day overall! All the major rides were operating, besides V2 being down for about an hour (I've heard that happens quite a bit). The park was absolutely dead for the first three hours. I guess everyone was sleeping in from their NYE gatherings last night, despite the park opening at 11:00 AM. The longest I waited for a ride was a two train wait for The Joker toward the end of the day. I got multiple rides on The Joker, Superman, V2, Medusa, Kong, and Boomerang (plus one ride on Wonder Woman) by 2:00 PM. The Joker was my first RMC and I absolutely loved it. I've heard it's the worst RMC but I still found it to be a very fun ride. I rode it 9 times total, with most of those rides in the back seat. It was great getting some B&M back in my life with Medusa. That's a solid floorless roller coaster. I loved the straight drop and that sea serpent element is a nice departure from the standard cobra roll most floorlesses have. Kong was my first SLC. I felt like a masochist as I endured four rides on it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but my expectations for SLC were very low. It was still very rough and I ended each ride with a headache. I've heard really bad things about the customer service at the park. I got to say that the Ride Ops were very kind and enthusiastic for the most part at the beginning of the day. However, I heard some attitude from several employees as the park got more crowded. Some of them got visibly frustrated with the smallest things that other guests were doing. That was a bit disappointing. I did not bother getting food in the park which was a wise choice after seeing the lines at the places that were open. I am glad I went. It was a very full day and relatively stress-free with the lack of crowds. I was thinking about upgrading to a pass while I was there but I don't think it is worth the 2 hour trip again. Unless they get another major roller coaster, I do not plan on visiting it again in the near future. I definitely got my fill of SFDK today. Now, time to check out California's Great America when it opens for the season. Thanks for reading my mini trip report!

edgeboy Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I was thinking about taking a spontaneous trip to SFDK this week. Have all the rides been open? I've been before, but have missed V2 my last 3 trips up there. Also, how does the park handle it if it rains (which is looking likely)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooterdoug Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Is there any updates on Harley Quinn's Crazy Coaster? I was at the park last Sunday, and absolutely nothing has happened as of yet. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't start construction until next month. In other news, my 7 year old daughter finally hit 48 inches and got her first rides on The Joker. Her response: "It was scary, but fun. I wanna go again!" Proud papa right here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supports should be done being made soon as pictures have been posted to facebook and the footer rebar is about to be shipped to the park soon I believe according to SkyLine. The ride will however be put together in Orlando first for testing then shipped to the park according to Skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
