Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California, is one of the more unusual parks in the Six Flags family, combining a full amusement park with animal exhibits and presentations. The park traces its roots to 1968 and moved to its current location in Vallejo in 1986. After operating for several years as Marine World Africa USA, the park gradually added more rides and roller coasters before eventually becoming Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in 2007.
Today, roller coasters are a major part of the park, with Medusa, Joker and Superman Ultimate Flight among its best-known attractions. They are joined by a broad selection of thrill rides and family attractions, while the park’s animal exhibits remain an important part of its identity. Visitors can encounter a variety of marine animals and other species throughout the different areas of the park.
This mix of rides and animals gives Six Flags Discovery Kingdom a character of its own. With its long history as Marine World still visible in parts of the park, it feels quite different from a typical Six Flags amusement park.
