I live about an hour from here and there are never that many rides closed. Maybe 1 or 2 max

So remember this visit was more than a month ago and in a time of year when crowds are very light and Six Flags parks are known to have lots of closures. Later in the season, there won't be nearly as many rides closed. That being said, in my experience this park does experience more closures than just about any other park.

I have been to this park SO many times and have never seen this many rides closed.

Those looking to come here: be advised this was filmed at the start of may when they're still prepping for the summer. The park is well run with ~90%+ rides open. This doesn't really show what the park is actually like imho.

If half your attractions aren’t working, then do the right thing and tell people this before they go in and don’t charge full price admission!!!!! You may be able to fleece them that day, but odds are they won’t go back.

Reasons why things are closed: V2: paint, it's back open. Will be getting some new features in the future. Penguin: Batman debris control + staffing HQCC: Safety while Batman was being constructed Tasmanian Devil: It's a HUSS ride, hard to get parts + limited budget (it's why they gave up on VooDoo) VooDoo (Top Spin): devastating damage, not worth the $ to fix it. It costs a lot more than people realize to demo these things and have them recycled. Elmer Fuds Weather Balloons: Low priority maintenence That plot use to be a water play structure with 2 sides and a main tower, it got the axe YEEEARS ago Mini Train: Gas costs $ + staffing Tavas: staffing. Why staff a kids section if there are few kids. Monkey Business: staffing It really depends on the day that you go. By th looks of it you went the first weekday of daily ops. The surrounding schools are still in session and most of their employees (high schoolers) are in the middle of finals. It would be fiscally unwise to run the entire park, all rides open, with few guests. It's more due to the disconnect between the park and cooperate deciding wen they want the park open. I'm not trying to make excuses necessarily, but it'd be best to give the park a fair shot by visiting on a mid summer Friday - Sunday. Judging it when it's not ready as other parks like CGA are isn't that fair.

Take a shot every time you hear closed in the video.

Also after finishing the whole video, maintenance at this park is so small and slow that usually when the ride goes down, we would be standing around waiting for them to show for like 45 minutes and then they'd spend 20 minutes attempting to fix it

I remember riding Medusa for the first time at this park when I was 12. I was so proud of myself

If this is in April or May then yes you went during high maintenance season for the summer most rides will be closed for maintenance and staffing. Teens are still in school which is 85% if there staffing. Also that too Spin has been sitting for at least 5yrs. I went in 2014 and it was looking just like that. I agree they should’ve and should charge half price early season when rides are in maintenance

Plot twist Kong was the hangman’s revenge here in Nashville Tennessee in the 90s at opryland theme park before we got rachet opry Mills mall 😂

that is a beautiful thumbnail! this park is so picturesque!

Damn so much has changed since I was there,I was born and raised in Vallejo and always had a season pass but it's been a few years.

I remember when they had a batman and Robin show on the lake.

Everyone chill in the comment section. Recently there have been problems with Discovery Kingdom, Great America, Over Texas, Fiesta Texas. I don’t get why SFA closes their attractions tho

What I will say as someone who used to work there, when Batman replaced the go-karts, the rumor was the go-karts were going to be relocated to where the elephant rides used to take place

Medusa is my favorite Roller Coaster 🎢

9:50 For some reason Skyscreamer is my all time favourite. Not sure why, but I love it!

I used to work there when i was 19..brings back a lot of memories

You didn’t miss anything with Harley Quinn! It sucks. Too bad we didn’t get a Tidal Twister type. V2 is notoriously closed all the time. I saw another video and I think it’s now working and will hopefully 🙏 be running the rest of the season. The paint job is done and they have a brand new launch system.

Wow...that is just unacceptable on every level. I was annoyed when just 8 minutes into the video I saw that 2 of their coasters were down... and then you just kept showing ride after ride after ride that was also closed. There is just no excuse for that.

4:55 I thought the same thing when I went there in May, but when I asked the Joker Ride Ops I was told they struggle to get enough employees on any given day to run all the rides. Apparently Harley Quinn takes 8-10 people to run so it's the first to go.

you went on a really bad day, i live about an hour away, go about 3/4 times a year but the most rides i've seen closed at a time are 3

Thats my home park right here. Molly had a good point about Batman tho.

Even though that looked like a very disappointing day out, the Sloth alone would make the trip worth while, especially if I got to hold it, also thank goodness for Beer 👍👍🍺🍺

Wow it's cool seeing the park again. I haven't been there since my niece was a toddler. She's 16 now.

1:12 Joker in SFGAdv has that double color

I'm going to go to this park with my friends next year and I wanted to see what we were getting ourselves into. I love roller coasters and amusement park rides but I've only ever been to our rinky-dink town fair that has some pretty big rides but nothing as big as this. Needless to say I am scared😳 Edit: I might just hang out in the Looney Tunes area😂💀

Same thing happened at Over Texas last weekend. Wtf is going on?

Going there tomorrow!

You went on a very bad, I went yesterday and everything was open

I went on the sky screamer but it goes very high but nobody screams...

If you see this, thank you! This is my first time going to six flags today at this park and I’m very excited!! 🤪🤪

Not to mention, one of their walruses have passed away, recently, along with Nairobi the giraffe, too! Bubbling Deltadromeus!🦒

Ok I live by this park and this was when they were going through inspection I went today and they had all but the water parks open because its soon to be winter. Oh and the new Batman ride is really good and I still have no idea why but the Harley Quin is not getting opened maybe it's not done or something I am not sure.

Laughing at the " large man punching me in the back "

i rode harley quinn. it’s pretty fun. it’s been closed all summer tho which sucks. also i’ve had a season pass for three years and i’ve never seen the sea lion show

My dude caught the park on a bad day

when i went here i didn’t know there was all sorts of animals haha!

I love discovery kingdom

The closed ride rate at this park is insane. I call it the most ratchet park in the Six Flags chain but I'm from the area and been to other Six Flags parks so trust me on that one. Rides are down alot but if you can make it out more then 3 times a week with a season pass you get some what excited when you come back and closed rides from the last trip are now open. I had this problem where all the vending machines were down and we just wanted water but couldn't find anywhere to get some. The drinking water fountains were also all down for maintenance BTW. 🤣

You know, I went down to All-Star Flags Discovery Kingdom back in Vallejo, California back in years, so I fed those parrots with some delicious nectar since they came to me for all over me back in years ago.

Operations sounded terrible that day!

Wow 17 rides that is closed that the first time I ever saw alot of rides that are closed. Great video I love all of your videos

"Harley Quinn's Crazy Coaster feels and sounds like being in a car crash" I stand with SFDK on a lot of things, but this... yeah no...

I’ve been to Discovery Kingdom quite a few times and I don’t think I’ve ever seen V2 open.

I'm honestly blown away by how much this park offers (or supposed to offer, at least). I wasn't expecting for there to be so many cool offerings. It's too bad the operations put a damper on the park experience and make most of these options obsolete.

Plot twist: this is six flags in vallejo

5:45 Boomerang is soo scary! I tried it a couple of times and its a killer as its slowly takes you up and up before lauch.

Just went today 3/8/20, all rides were open except Harley. Btw, X2 is now The Flash. New ride underway call Sidewinder, opens this spring supposedly... even though there's zero steel even in place lol. Kong is extremely bumpy and rattles you until you have a guaranteed headache. Wonder Woman was 1 of the most intense experiences, way scarier than I first expected and quite nauseating. Dare Devil was the only coaster I had no interest in riding. Cobra is actually a pretty decent coaster, idk if it's normal or not, but they had it running double laps.

Aaaayyyyeee I was there the same day you were there! I’m pretty sure I saw you recording the ring if fire because me, my sister, and my uncle were bummed that it broke down when we were in line and we decided to go on the Cobra and the Sky Screamer

I work at this park, basically no department is properly staffed. There is not only a lack of skilled workers available but they cut pretty much every corner they can budget wise, they just flat out don't hire enough people and upper management does not do their jobs at all. You can go months in a department other than culinary and retail without seeing a single new hire, it makes no sense. Everyone is losing their minds. Also the topspin ride costs more to remove than to replace, so it's been sitting there for like 10 years. We do our best but we can only do so much to keep it clean and running. The animals are very well taken care of though.

I think I only came here once, when they were still Marine World Africa USA, right after they had moved from Redwood City. I'd like to go here again, with all the new rides.

this is my home park and its sad that its the least known six flags park but understandable because there are almost always 3 or 4 closed rides at a time

1:33 The IT ride

6:13 thats me

soo this place looks bad because a lots closed but a little while later in the day everything opens, well not some of the rides. the top spin one is perma-closed and so is the tasmanian devil sadly. but other than that a lot of the stuff at the park is only closed in the very morning.

So true about Kong

I’ve only been to two six flags parks and those are great adventure and six flags America

I like the gal's Medusa comment. "Its not very pretty" Neither is Medusa😆 Perfect!!

shark experience first thing i going to at six flags !!!

California ❤️

Why so many rides closed? Should get a discount then .

I would love to go there

They always have closed rides

My friend was in the video at 6:11 he has a mini ponytail.

Aw you went on a horrible day. Usually everything is open that sucks.

WHERE EVER SHE GOES I GO HOWS THAT'S SOUND!!!!

It’s wild, not a roller coaster I won’t go on, but that lasso ride for some reason I’m like nah I’m good 😂👍

Jeese u really need to come back here soon cause You missed out on a lot. Literally a lot of this video is just the rides being closed SIX FLAGS GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER

I went to the dolphin show at here and I’m gonna try the joker 🃏

I'll be going there for vacation in June 2020. I was surprised to see that boat ride by the park entrance had been drained.

What's going on with the park? It's in Vallejo.

Harley - you aren't missing anything. About as smooth as the SLC. SFDK has gotten into this slump they can't seem to get themselves out of over the past year or so. Half closed park, rope dropping to closed rides and finally opening a half hour later, constant maintenance issues. Harley (when it does run which is a rarity) only uses half of the ride to load. I am impressed though that Hammerhead was running. That ride is almost always closed.

That was a really great tour and I enjoyed seeing all the animal attractions but that was just too many rides closed :-( I haven't been to any Six Flags, but that would be depressing if I went on that day with nothing open :-( big hugs

Ima go there tommorow

I work at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom doing face painting...FACE PAINTING...what's more annoying is visitors asking me if I can open up a ride for them with a serious face -_- I'm like bish, do I look like I can do that? my booth says face paint!!

Even the shark was broken down

half way through this video and I think you said closed about 16 times.. this park needs work. and here i was wanting to put this park on my bucket list. lol nevermind that

Considering this park is open daily, I guess it is common for many rides to be closed during the week. When I went, all of the rides were open. I guess you got there during a high maintenance time.

I hate coming to this park when its super busy. Takes almost an hour and a half just to get to the parking when traffic is bad. Terrible infrastructure in that area.

Wow half the dam place is closed.

The Legend Taunted by Closed Rides at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom!!

I want there

Kong There is no escape

Boomerang

Six Flags Maintenance Kingdom

Been here 4 times... V2 was never opened

Good lord nothing is open.

"wouldn't be a six flags park without a larson loop" But what about Magic Mountain?

Like if you remember when this was Marine World and you been there when it was Marine World.

Unacceptable operations, you should write letter of complaint

Unfortunately bad experiences like this have become par for the course at this park.

How come all the kids areas are closed?

3:45 is very, not smooth I can say

Like, if u can’t decide which ride is better in this park between Medusa and joker

Which six flags is your favorite

this might be a weird question but theres some conflicting information so did anything stick out as abusive to the animals? i know they got into hot water for elephant rides and the use of bullhooks but i think recently with them getting rid of their elephants and with small-scale accreditation with the zaa and american humane certification they seem to be going through a change in attitude. just from the outset i can appreciate the fact that their tiger show isnt particularly circus-esk and the tigers are seemingly only asked to participate in relatively natural tiger behaviors such as jumping and climbing and swimming but i rly can't make a judgement call bc i havent been there so that's why im asking

Tazmainian devil is never open

If u came 2 weeks later everything was open
