My visit to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom...almost one year ago.
This was my 4th visit to the park and it seems like every visit gets better! This park is amazing and my favorite SF park. It is exactly what SF parks should/are trying be like; clean and family friendly. There are some really good shows too, and the coaster collection isn't bad at all.

Never got to go when it was Marine World...no Zonga for me. :(

My 125th credit. This coaster is definitely in my Top 120.

I don't know why I rode Kong...especially since I already had the credit...and a re-ride...and a ride on it's terrible cousin in Kentucky...

Oh right I remember...I used to like it! Well not like it...but not hate it. It was in my Top 30 when my count was 70, so I guess it was okay.

It sucked, but it's still a lot better than T2.

Didn't bother riding Boomerang after Kong.

But I do remember it being a lot better than KBF's Boomerang-with-Arrow-trains-POS.

The cobra roll (or is it called a 'boomerang' on a boomerang coaster?) goes right over the path.

This rapids is one of the best I've been on!
http://amusementparkauthority.com/forums/trip_reports/changsucks/sfdk_7_31_2009/P1011696.jpg
It's fast-paced, there's two waterfalls (one which half of the raft actually goes in) and after several turns and random ways of getting wet, you get SHOT with the water guns. And yeah...I know I used the wrong picture to describe this.
http://amusementparkauthority.com/forums/trip_reports/changsucks/sfdk_7_31_2009/P1011700.jpg
SOAKED.
But...sorry SFDK, I just have to take a moment to show how much better Disney is than Six Flags (even if this is a SFDK TR).

Here is SFDK's water.

And here is Disney's. Notice any difference? And if you're thinking SFDK's looks like chocolate milk, I agree.
