Park News - (5/1/09) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of ROAR on Saturday, May 9th. To mark the event the park will invite Moms with their 10 year-old kids to ride Roar 10 times in a row on May 9th (the day before Mothers’ Day) between 12pm and 1pm. They will get a free souvenir photo of the event to remember it by. It’s also worth mentioning that this also marks the 10th Anniversary of GCI’s Millennium Flyer trains, which were first put to use on Roar. (4/22/09) SFDK reports that over the two week Spring Break period the park pulled in it’s largest attendance figures since 2003. With no major new ride on the horizon for this summer, this certainly bodes well as a projection of how well the park may fare this summer. (3/21/09) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has launched their own official Facebook page where they will be posting a large number of the park’s animal updates throughout the year. (3/13/09) The opening weekend report from Six Flags Discovery Kingdom can be seen at SM2Designs. (12/5/08) According to the LA Times, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will be adding the electronic version (Q-Bot powered) of Flash Pass to the park this season. (9/11/08) A reader thought that it might be worth mentioning again that the 2008 season at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom will be the longest season the park has ever had, as the park will stay open on weekends past the end of Fright Fest and into the Holiday In The Park event that runs through December 31st. From what we’ve been told the park will only be closed approximately six weeks for the winter before reopening again sometime in mid February 2009. If the rumors are true, the corporate office will be heavily monitoring the park’s attendance and financial figures this year to determine if there is enough demand for the park to take on a year-round schedule like Six Flags Magic Mountain by 2010.
2009 - Odin’s Temple of the Tiger - Confirmed - (6/7/09) A reader has sent in a
few pictures of the new Odin’s Temple of the Tiger attraction taken just prior to the grand opening. (11/4/08) With a name like Odin’s Temple it sure sounds more like a new thrill ride of some kind, but instead the park will build a brand new exhibit for their tigers to open in Spring 2009. For anyone wondering, Odin is the park’s popular male white Bengal tiger who will be living with Fedor and two new tiger cubs (male and female) that are currently being hand raised. Odin’s Temple of the Tiger will be housed in the former Jungle Theater. You can read more about it here. (9/11/08) From what I’ve been told, don’t expect to see a major new ride come in for the 2009 season. Instead the park will focus on some kind of new animal exhibit it seems. Anyone know more?
