Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Vallejo, California

Last Visited: September 2008




A very unique park layout makes for an impressive skyline
(sorry Boomerang)



Medusa


This B&M floorless is the west coast version of the original



With feet dangling, this coaster travels through the same 7 inversions



Except for this "twist", the first sea serpent



It starts out like a normal cobra roll, except the second inversions sends you looping in the opposite direction



Zonga


You can tell immediately that this isn't your typical Schwarzkopf looper



This is one of the few multi-looping coaster orginally built to travel the German fair circuit



Required to have a compact layout, the manuvers resulted is especially high G-forces



Six Flags has done its best to make this a family ride over the years



And while many modifications haven't taken well to the ride experience, it's still one you have to try



V2: Vertical Velocity


Some say this modified Intamin Impulse coaster isn't anything like the rest of them



I say it's even better



With its spiraled spike angled at 45 degrees, it offers an impressive inversion 100 feet over the entry plaza



Kong


Marine World's suspended looping coaster is unfortunately no smoother than average



Roar


This is another Great Coasters International masterpiece



Here are the famous Millenium Flyer trains



They allow the train to make insanely tight maneuvers



After the spiraling first drop, Roar stays amazingly close to the ground



It also flys over, under and around itself enough times to make you dizzy
