Six Flags Discovery Kingdom can be found in Vallejo, California. It's an animal park, amusement park, and marine park all wrapped into one! It is the only park in the world that has all these three features. If you're looking to have some fun with family or friends, getting Six Flags Discovery Kingdom tickets is a great choice to spend the day!
Originally, Discovery Kingdom wasn't the first name it was called back when it first opened in 1968. It was then known as Marine World in Redwood City, California. Due to the high property values in the 1980's, the park was forced to move to Vallejo where it underwent a couple of name changes. In 1998, it was known as The New Marine World Theme Park; in 1999, it was Six Flags Marine World; and finally it was named Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in January 2007. With its new name and brand, the park adapted more changes and is now divided into three areas: Land, Sky and Sea.
There are a lot of animal attractions and interaction with rare animals like anteaters, macaws, and porcupines in the Land area of the park. If you pass by the Animal Outpost early in the morning, you may be able to catch a glimpse of the animal superstars of Discovery Kingdom: Taj, the elephant and Okin, the white Bengal tiger who enjoys a dip in the cool waters.
A great place to find all sorts of wonderful marine creatures and to view the beautiful sea life is in the Sea area of the park. Make sure not to miss the Dolphin Discovery area to meet Mavrick, an Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphin that was born right there in the park just last October.
Once you are done with feeding the animals, you can visit the Sky area where you can see wilder attractions of the park. This year, the Summer Season Opening Celebration will be revealing a new ride named, "Tony Hawk's Big Spin!" it is a steel roller coaster designed especially for riders to experience Tony Hawk's wacky side during his death defying stunts!
All those thrill seekers shouldn't miss the rest of the wild rides found in the Discovery Kingdom! To name a few: the Boomerang Coast to Coaster, the Cobra, Hammerhead Shark, Kong, V2: Vertical Velocity, Roar and Medusa, known as the tallest, fastest, longest and most advanced roller coaster in Northern California!
