I used to work at that theme park years ago. The train tracks that are in front of the shark experience was meant for a small train that would go from shark experience all the way up to the giraffes. The train was called Shoreline express. Later years it was converted for a themed area right next to shark experience for Thomas the tank town.

Even at 30 years of age, I still call it Marine World and have many fond memories of going there. The shark tank and other awesome exhibits and rides are lots of fun. And who needs Disneyland when you have the Looney Tunes there?!

Last time I was at this place was 1993 when it was still Marine World Africa USA and I was six years old. When I heard it was turned into a Six Flags I felt a bit sad to see it go, but watching this I was pleasantly surprised to see how much of the old park they've kept around all these decades! Definitely never expected to hear about the butterfly sanctuary or shark encounter ever again! While not the biggest coaster guy by any means, a few of these look to be about my speed, so I'm happy to say I will no longer write off the possibility of going back to this place sometime in the future.

Congratulations on 2,500 subscribers! I learn and laugh - good combination.

The flash has been closed for like 6 months. No idea what they're doing with it. Also, at least you didn't go on Harley Quinn. They scrapped the prototype ride and it was the worst one in the park. Kong is the second worst ride of the park, my head always hurts from hitting the restraints. The butterfly garden is literally like the best thing at Discovery Kingdom. Soon as they open, people go sprinting all the way back there just to go through it, it's so unique and a must visit first on anyone's list. As for joker, I went on it in 2001 when it was the roar roller coaster, I'm glad they converted it and kept it. If you don't get on it early, you're never going to ride it because the wait times are 3 hours sometimes because it's by far the best ride in the park, Medusa probably being second. Basically the classics.

Thank you for this video. I lived in Vallejo my whole life and I haven’t been here in so long. Great video.

I definitely gotta hit up this park sometime in the future. Thanks for the tips and review. Great video👍

This helps so much!! Me and my friend are going on August 10!! So excited I hope we wont get disappointed !!

Great memories working here when I was a teenager. I was there for the last season it was marine world and the first season it was discovery kingdom. Kong, Medusa, and boomerang are og coasters at that park lol. The orca and dolphin shows use to be fun but im glad they don't have orcas anymore. The layout is funky because it was originally a animal experience park with very few rides in the 90s when it was marine world Africa USA.

That conveyor belt in the shark exhibit hasn't worked for about 15 years if I remember correctly. last time I remember it working was in 2008-2010. Also I was just a kid then, but around the same time the conveyor belt worked, there used to be a tiny train that would do a smallish circle around that section of the park. I remember riding it when I was like 5-8 years old and terrified of roller coasters still. Kinda like the ones they have in malls occasionally, but this one was obviously on tracks.

That’s cool that you had a good day at the park! Personally this is my least favorite SF park, based on my one visit in 2019. Joker is great, but is my least favorite of the 8 RMCs I’ve ridden. Maybe it was just running slow, but I got two back row rides early in the day and I didn’t feel compelled to ride again. Medusa is definitely awesome and is my favorite ride at the park. Superman is also excellent, this is how all Sky Rocket 2 clones should be. I was also fortunate enough to ride V2, and got 4 rides in. It’s crazy that this is the third year since it last ran. Some cons for me were that the park as a whole felt like a discount park. I get the history of it and how all the coasters were an afterthought, which explains why they’re all at the front and not dispersed evenly around the park. It’s also clone heavy: there are 6 out of 9 major rides that are cloned (which is fine if this is the only six Flags park you visit, and I shouldn’t really count Superman since it was the first of its kind). Kong is the discount version of a Batman B&M clone, and Boomerang is pretty rough too. The ops at this park weren’t the greatest but not the worst either. I absolutely agree that rope drop is important here, because the park does get very busy, and you can knock out several major rides in the first 90-120 minutes. Great review, it’s nice to see a fresh opinion on this park!

It is for sure underrated. It should get more hype. this is the closest park to my hometown. I love this park so much

I went here once before it changed, and remember having fun there. I’ve been wanting to revisit it, but all’s we’ve done is talk about going, never actually make proper plans. I like roller coasters, but I’ve always been extremely iffy about going on ones that go upside down at times. It’s good to know there’s more to do there than just the big roller coasters.

Joker looks like a great ride, and this park seems underrated. Nice review!

Going this Thursday ! Gonna be so fun

Nice review!

Cool video bro. When I go on a coaster tour in Cali, this is where I plan to start. Btw I have a hilarious new poop coming up. This time it’s about our friend the block zone guru

Great video! Sounds like a great park!

The best way to get to this park is by Uber or taxi. It's way more worth it than parking and walking the whole way. My biggest complaint is there's no other way to get to and from DC Universe and the area with Medusa/Kong without walking all the way around the sea lion stadium and front entrance.

My summer camp was the shiiiit. Every Wednesday we did a theme park in the bay area! And this 6 Flags is sooooooo much fun!!! MEMORIES FOR LIFE

Great review

I had a trip lined up to go there for the first time April 30th-May 1st...as it is a short Train+Bus ride from my house and the bus drops you right in front of the park...was going to stay at the redroof inn right down the street and just walk to it and back as it is less then a mile...Since I still have a Diamond Elite Membership+Deluxe Mealplan the whole trip isn't that much... But...things came up and had to cancel it for now...sigh...the opened weekends only thing , makes it hard for me to get the time...and summer...generally is terrible at all Amusement parks lol...

I freaking love this place!! Medusa is my favorite! I went on the Superman ride and it was so fun! I also love the joker which used to be a old wooden ride which i forgot the name of. I’m definitely coming back here one day. I’ve gone here like 3 times!

This park used to be a zoo called marine world but after a while they added rides and six flags took over. It was to educate kids and people about wild animals and sea animals. I remember Marine world would come to my school and show off their animals.

great review, thanks for the information. I'm going in a couple weeks, are there cubbies to put your bags and loose articles or do they require lockers?

Miss this park so much went to it every year but haven't been in 2 years, hoping I can go this year

I been working here for 2 years I really enjoy it and yes some of the rides will be close at times but just like everywhere else we are definitely short staffed for a Theme Park and since Covid it’s been really hard to Get Certain Parts for things I am sure but we try Our Best to give everyone Something to look Forward to when they Visit

I love that I live 5 blocks away from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!! I live in American Canyon, which isnt very far from Vallejo. I went to Fright Fest and it was so nice!!

I saw him there and he told me to subscribe and here I am today!!!

Even though this park is small and the rides feel tame conpared to the rides at Six Flags Magic Mountain, i still think this is an awesome park. Its fun to spend with friends and family. Matter fact this was my very first amusement park visit when i was 10 years old. I was a wimp though and never went in any if the coasters or scary rides, but now i will literally ride every coaster in the world. Tue park gives me plenty nostalgic vibes and makes me want to go again and again

Love this video

You went the same day I did! So cool!

The lake used to be a Batman stunt show, and a sea lion named Kai died so the shows are now just only educational. The reason for that is because Kai was the main sea lion for the show.

Great video

Was raised in SoCal went to the six flags in So Cal as a kid now a adult living in Northern California. Love the park up here wouldn't go to SoCal again my kids love this park best also

Hi there!😊 I’m looking to visit this Monday. I know school is in session now, do you believe it will be less packed? Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

this place is sick during christmas time!! love living in cali for this reason

Joker was my fav when I went last weekend. Couldn’t do Kong or Flash cause they were closed but it was a great time.

We will be visiting the US from Europe this July and spend 5 days in both LA and SF. Which one would you recommend: Six Flags Magic Mountain near LA or this one near SF?

Hi Eric. I'm planning on going to Six Flags for my birthday in a few weeks. I'm not a big fan of crazy rides that go upside down, or just up and down, and other more extreme stuff. Which ones are less crazy and more mild.

I got to be one of the first riders of Medusa when it opened. It was marine world then

Local here who grew up going in the 90s. Back then it was still called Six Flags Marine World, and that lake use to host an awesome jet-ski stunt show with fire effects and music in the mid-late 90s. Best time to visit the park lol all the 30+ year old “old people” still call it Marine World 😂👍 Discovery Kingdom is too long for us hahaha

The day this was posted I went to six flags discovery kingdom and I can say Medusa is the best floorless b&m coaster

I went there last summer. It was so fun but Superman was closed :(

The entrance to the train that crosses in front of the shark exhibit is in the children's area.

I miss marine world

There used to be a train that ran from where the giraffes are to a bit further past Shark Experience. It was replaced by a Thomas the Tank Engine ride that didn't last long.

The “ lake” is Dan Foley . That water if you look has an old stage area.. they used to have the Batman show there

2:47 I don't think the layout is poor. I like how you get to see all of the roller coasters. And I like it being a smaller park because its easier to navigate.

I WENT THERE. MEDUSA IS SO DAM FUN. I RODE IT 3 time. Also it wasn’t crowded we were the 3rd visitors to get there

I used to work near there. Didn’t go ever because I wanted to go with a group. Imma go July/august for sure

I wish you had been able to go on joker. As someone who has a season pass, joker is my favorite ride. If you are going, PLEASE RIDE IT!!!!! it is really smooth for a wooden ride, and sooooooooo fun! It also isn't to intense, but still sooooo worth the wait!

The park seems underrated, but better than sfne? New England's top 3 is great, riddler is a fun SLC (yes that's right), thunderbolt has some surprising airtime, and pandemonium is always a blast. Plus scream, ne skyscreamer, and cyborg are good flats. Also new England has a great waterpark, which discovery kingdom doesn't even have. Medusa and joker look amazing tho!

The way you describe the walk is the way I would...but some lazy ass people would complain to the heavens that it's "too long". I know exactly what you're talking about, it's not a 'bothersome' amount of walking. It's like 3/4 of a mile but that's not really that far. Magic Mountain is pretty similar, as far as a long (but manageable) walk, except the park itself is HUGE for obvious reasons.

As someone who was born and raised there, I still love it even though I went there all the time!

personally like this park just think they could do so much more with it has alot of potential one or two more rides would probably make it my favorite in the valley area

I’ve had the same experience with joker the pass 3 or 4 times I haven’t ridden it since opening year so they definitely need to close that ride down and work on it

Sidewinder is open. We rode it 2 weeks ago. It’s a great kid friendly family ride

Just wondering does six flag still require for a vaccination status or a negative Covid test results?

This is the park closest to me and I go here a lot, it is a lot of fun

I used to work at Medusa for 2 years back in the early 2000's. Better than working inside a fast food joint.

I remember when that park was Marine World.

Do you Superman Ultimate Flight is the best roller called “Superman” of which there are many?

Unfortunately I couldn’t go on Joker because the line was too long

I'm going tomorrow for the first time, so I'm trying to familiarize myself with the rides. This park probably has the most intense rides I've ever seen! (then again, I haven't been to many parks)

Is this park worth getting a season pass?

I'm heading there now

I have a choice to visit Discovery Kingdom or Great America. Which one do you recommend? I’m mainly going for coaster thrills. Great video. Thanks!

Ik we waited so long for joker to stop testing

This is my home park I think Superman, Wonder Woman, joker, and Batman are the best rides there

I went yesterday and the flash is still closed but the one that was being made in ur vid was operating and the line was sooooo long bc only 1 cart goes at a time.

These joker incidents do happen a lot when we went a few days ago it Got delayed more than three times

If you are not a kid in school (K-12), then my recommendation when going to any of these theme parks would be to GO ON A SCHOOL DAY!! And of course go early.

People that dislike animal shows at parks are incredibly strange in my opinion and due to this I will never be watching another one of your videos. Thanks for this review though. I am hitting this park for the first time in about a month from now and I am super excited. Too bad I will have to watch other channels for future reviews. Maybe I will check out a newer video in hopes you have educated yourself about amusement park animals but if not you will be on the do not watch list.

Can you take your go pro on the rides?

This park feels like wasted potential. It's in a great location, quite well connected by public transport to the rest of the (commercially important) Bay Area and the wildlife/theme park combo is tried and tested and a nice contrast to California's Great America. I visited today (June 2024) and the budget problems are obvious: many rides were not operating and the advertised "sea lions and seals" show was only 8 minutes long, with only one sea lion (ONE SEA LION). I think even the Looney Tunes Spectacular was longer and more elaborate. The layout is kind of odd, with all the thrill rides up towards the front and the gentler experiences at the back. The Batman and Superman coasters feel like they come from an era when the park needed to make a quick buck quickly and someone obviously had the bright idea to bring in cheap, low-capacity attractions to draw in crowds. The place is suffering from a real lack of investment, e.g. the hilly terrain cries out for a really good terrain coaster. The staff are the bright spot in an otherwise fairly soulless park. I wish this park had an expiry date rather than the much better (and much more charming) Great America. It feels like a tackier Busch Gardens. In conclusion, a missed opportunity.

Where’s the kids area??

I hope Cedar Point gets a Theatrical Movie.

Yes it is soo underrated but whats the best is i live so close to it so i can ho whenever!

is there water rides there?

I swear I've been going to discovery for a really long time like 7 years and flash is never open.

I love the madusa

Going tomorrow for my 8th grade trip

the coaster that u said that only had 2 tracks is almost done i think i went yesterday and it’s like half way done

For a person who lives just down the street from discovery kingdom, this is a very underrated park and a favorite, (probably cause I can just drive there in like 3 minutws

How much is parking?

I work here and I seen the food Supervisor Anna spit in food

Awww RIP hammerhead.

Last time I was there was when I was a kid and it was called marine world

ya rides there tend to brake down alot sometimes depnds the day

nice bro no longer a medusa virgin. isnt it such a good roller coaster or what. im only 9 years old I went on it 4 times yesterday. we no longer medusa virgins GG.

Rides testing repeatedly and not opening? Sounds like American Dream Mall.

This place is just way too hit or miss for me, the rides here are very solid, but the operations are god awful and most of the rides are closed when you go, and the crowds can get very bad. But if you go on a day where there’s not many people and all the rides are running, it’s a great park, unfortunately that’s very rare

The poor cats and giraffes deserve more room

This is my home park def underrated

I went to discover Kingdom today and I honestly thought Medusa and Wonder Woman were the best.

Who's your favorite fictional character, as a penguin?

Oh, and also, wonder women is the tallest ride in the park

Those lion cages look pretty small. Animals really shouldn't be kept in cages for human entertainment!
