Six Flags Discovery Kingdom this time. This park is actually quite impressive, not because of the coasters but how much there was to do other then coasters, as im sure many of you know they also have animals at this park. On Friday the park wasn't crowded at all and lines were short, but on Saturday that place was a mad house! strange enough the lines were not even long, i guess because there was so much else to do at this park.

Ride Count:

-Boomerang (I Finally got one! and I LOVED IT) - 3
-Cobra (kiddie) - 2
-Kong (SLC) DEATH DEATH DEATH!!! This one was exceptionally bad - 1
-Medusa (floorless) smooth as glass - 6
-Road Runner Express (I hate zamperla) - 1
-Roar (This was my first GCI, it was great!) - 4
-Tony Hawk (This one has a different layout then the other's) - 2
-V2 (I really love the 45 degree tower! My 50th Credit!) - 29

The only down side was this crew SUCKED!! They were mean, slow, and just overall pathetic, one of the worst crews I've ever seen.

They were even sending off trains with full rows empty when there was a line!

The other Vekoma ride at the park was just god awful, i think i can honestly say that was the worst rollercoaster ive ever been on, i liked the one at six flags mexico a hundred times better, this was just like death.

Nice pictures! SFDK really is a nice park, it's in my Top 5 and is my favorite Six Flags. Did you see the elephant show? By far the best show I've ever seen at a park; it's pretty amazing seeing what they can do!

Oh my god, they have an elephant show too? I had no idea, I'm kinda pissed I didn't see that.

We only saw the Killer whale show, Dolphin show, and sea lion show.
