Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (SFDK) Discussion Thread

[niiicolaaah]

LOL... I can't deal with all these park name changes! BGE, BGA, all the Paramount parks losing their P, and now SFDK... I can't handle it!

[redfoot12]

I know nothing about SFMW (other than they have Roar and Medusa). Is there any room/chance for this park to become a big destination park in Northern California?

They've got Roar, Medusa (best B&M floorless I've been on), an SLC, a Boomerang, and the Intamin Impulse with an inversion. They also have [lame IMO] animal shows...and they just got rid of their Schwarzkopf. They don't really have room to expand that I can see, but it's an alright park.

You think you have it bad. I have to go in and change all the databas entires on my site!

[Vekoma Fan Boy]

Sounds kinda cool, yet it kinda reminds me of Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom and what used to be, Discovery Zone (Place like Chuck E Cheese's). I'll have to get used to SFDK instead of SFMW.

 

Discovery Zone totally OWNED Chuck E Cheese! Ahh, childhood memories...

 

 

Ummm Hmmm.

It better have a roller slide and a climbable foam mountain.

 

Then again, what was wrong with Marine World in the first place?

[Thrillrider15]

In my opinion, I kind of liked, the "Marine World" name better, but I have to say the "Discovery Kingdom" goes a lot better with the park.

[V2-dude]

I think it should get the SFWOA name, since that park is now GL.

I think that they are changing it because it is sort of missleading. The park does'nt have just marine animals but land animals, shows, and rides too. I think that it is being changed because Discovery Kingdom is more appropiate for the park and it will seem less confusing to the GP. SFMW sounds like an aquarium but SFDK sounds like an amusemt park.

 

Just my double pennies.

[CHILLERLC1]

The new name sounds great, I'm just one to always think about the past ones. I'd like to to go to Six Flags over Mid-America (St. Louis) in the future.

^ Knowing that Shapiro was looking at Disney for an example, Discovery Kingdom is just the six flags version of Animal Kingdom.

[JimmyBo]

[XperienceXtremeX]

Theres a chance I'll be there on saturday, unless I go to PGA or Waterworld...

[Angry_Gumball]

Have fun at SFMW...Just to forwarn you, their topspin is running a poor program now. It used to do 6 flips all the time and now it barely does 2. Rememer not to stick your fingers into the dolphin's blowholes...Man knows what I'm talking about.

[CHROMEDOME]

Go to PGA and SCBB instead. SFMW sucks.

[CP_RULES]

if I see ya I'll pound ya!

 

Id keep away from him if I were you...

 

Anyways, is it your tradition to wear that ketchup shirt to theme parks? Seems like every picture w/ you in it your wearing it.

[Mr.Six]

When I visited the park in the summer of 2005. I actually had a really great time there. I felt as if there was just the perfect balance between thrills and wild life. But, spending two days there? I mean, I got the park done in about 4-5 hours doing everything. I suppose it did feel a bit rushed and a few extra hours there would of been nice and all, but just a few more.
