Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (5/8/08) The local news was posting fun gift ideas for Mother’s Day and has posted a good video showing off Six Flags Discovery Kingdom’s “Dolphin Trainer for a Day” program.
  (5/6/08) Add this one to the Weird News category as a 24-year old man was arrested at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom yesterday for entering a restricted area on a dare and punching a camel. I can only imagine that the duo have watched Conan The Barbarian one time too many. Great movie, but this is taking things a bit too far. Here’s an idea for the judge who gets to sentence this moron... give the camel a chance at revenge and let it kick him into next week.
  (3/31/08) A Screamscape reader sent in a bunch of new park photos (see sidebar) showing off the various rides, repaints and restaurants. They also appear to be building a new bathroom building near Medusa. Oh... and remember that $2 cell phone charger? It seems that the $2 fee was a mistake, because there isn’t even a place to put in your money and since last week the $2 price sticker has been removed, so this is a new free perk after all.
  (3/21/08) From what we’ve been told the Boomerang at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is now being sponsored by Outback Steakhouse. You can see this in the latest update at Coaster Dimension as well as shots of all the new locker nazi signs and the new Johnny Rockets. They’ve also got a shot of one of the new cell phone charging machines, which I’ve also seen in photos of Six Flags over Texas so far, but the big question I have is why haven’t they tried to at least mix the Cell Phone charing station idea with the mandatory lockers so at least your cell phone is safe from thieves while it’s charging. The way it is now you’ve got to stand around for 15 minutes and protect your phone. Oh… and this isn’t a freebie either… they’re going to hit you up for $2 for this privilege too.
  (3/12/08) A reader made an interesting observation that wherever the new Six Flags TV (SFTV) network seems to go, Locker Nazis always seem to follow as new lockers seem to show up at the same time as the SFTV systems in the ride’s queues. In the case of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, SFTV and Lockers have arrived at Medusa, Kong and Roar and will be on Tony Hawk’s Big Spin when it opens as well.
  (3/11/08) A photo update from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom can be found at SM2 Designs.
  (3/4/08) All new shows can be seen at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom starting this weekend when they open for the season. The new shows include a new Sea Lion show called Pinnipeds of the Caribbean, a new bird show called Bird Drop Inn and the new Animalympics show in the Wildlife Theater. Other features added to the park this season will include a Nintendo Wii play area and a few stations where guests can charge their cell phones.
  (2/25/08) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will open their first Johnny Rockets restaurant in 2008.
  (2/21/08) Apparently Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has removed any mention of the park’s 4D Sim-Theater from the website which matches up with previous rumors that it would sit empty for the 2008 season.
  (2/19/08) Six Flags has signed an unusual sponsorship deal with NextSport, the creator of the Fuzion “performance scooter”, which is basically what looks like the offspring of a Skateboard with one of a Razor scooters. This is more than just your typical sponsorship deal however as they will create a series of in-park Fuzion Scooter Riding Zones, with the first Fuzion Zone opening this spring at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. The Fuzion Zone will provide park guests the opportunity a Fuzion in a custom designed and fully supervised skate park that will feature basic riding zones as well as basic ramp and jump configurations. Guests will also be able to watch members of the Fuzion Pro Team demonstrate their skills during exhibitions.

2008 - Tony Hawk’s Big Spin - (5/2/08) New pictures of Tony Hawk’s Big Spin were posted to Theme Park Village after a special hardhat tour.
  (5/1/08) The local news has posted a video clip showing off the status of Tony Hawk.
  (4/30/08) I’ve got a ton of new Tony Hawk
