Longtime fans of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will remember the wooden roller coaster, Roar. Tallest inversion west of the Mississippi, ranked alongside the top tallest inversions in the world.
Key Features: Launch coaster using electromagnetic propulsion, two upside-down twists, two vertical rolls. Meaning, you’ll want to ride it again and again and again. SUPERMAN Ultimate Flight packs an entire day’s worth of thrills into just 60 seconds. As you glide through the track with such smoothness, it’ll feel like you’re flying. What’s more iconic than Superman? SUPERMAN Ultimate Flight is a record-breaking roller coaster featuring red and gold tracks, 60+ mph launches, loops, and more hair-raising fun.
Oh, and did I mention you go through the track three times? Don’t forget to breathe! After watching, you’ll know why it’s one of the best rides in the park! But then you see the 60+ mph launch… and the twisted tower… and the reverse track. Its minimalist track design makes it appear in line with any other coaster in the world. V2: Vertical VelocityĪt first glance, you may wonder why V2: Vertical Velocity is among the greatest Six Flags Discovery Kingdom rides. And, as it swings higher and higher, you’ll feel weightless as you reach heights up to 147 feet in the air! 3. Up to 40 riders can fit on this attraction as it swings back and forth while rotating counterclockwise.
Get ready to white-knuckle it through the entire ride as the spins reach speeds of up to 70 mph! Located near two of the park’s top coasters, SUPERMAN Ultimate Flight and The Joker, Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth takes riders on a spinning journey to new heights.
Key Features: 7 inversions, World's ONLY sea serpent roll. Much like the snakes in Medusa’s hair, this track winds and turns with sharp inversions, loops, and turns. This floorless coaster races through a 150-foot hill and a 150-foot drop at 65 mph, along with a 128-foot vertical loop. Get ready for the ride of your life! Medusa is the longest and highest coaster in Northern California at 3,937 feet. From dual looping coasters to 150-foot drops, these thrill rides are sure to leave you breathless ( literally.) All in all, it's a good, solid theme park, yet nothing unique or utterly enticing.Think you can handle the thrill rides at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom? Thrill RidesĪdrenaline junkies rejoice! Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is a roller coaster fanatics dream come true. Warner Brothers costume characters are all over Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, but where are the Looney Tunes-themed rides that would 'justify' the presence of the Bugs Bunnies, Marty the Martians and Daffy Ducks who stalk the kids? Riding an elephant, watching a tiger swim and passing through a shark tunnel are the zoo’s highlights. If it’s your first encounter with a killer whale you'll love it the SeaWorld equivalent found in San Diego and Orlando, though, is a thousand times better. The killer whale show features only one jumping orca that seems to be lazy and tired. Set in the beautiful hills of the Northern San Francisco Bay area (half an hour drive from the city), it easily beats its competitor in the south, 'California’s Great America', which by comparison lacks design, beauty and attention to detail.įive major roller coasters deliver the usual thrills, albeit nothing really special. The Six Flags brand usually stands for roller coaster farms, but the chicken in the henhouse was laying a SeaWorld egg and a mixture of coaster paradise and zoo was hatched.
