Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Parking Lot

Typical Six Flags parking lot I believe it was $ 22 to park per car I’m not totally sure to this as I have a parking pass and if you visit their parks often just get it as you’ll save a ton of money.
The parking lot was super far from the park and on top of a hill it was kinda a cool little set up as it seemed the trams ran right through the middle of it.
Once you leave your car and head toward the park you find yourself if walking heading into a pretty narrow walkway that I can tell totally sucks on a busy day as it was long and very narrow until you get to the park.
The path here to get to the park had to be longer than the one at Magic Mountain as it seemed it took a really long time!
On the plus side I did see the security roaming in a car a few times wile walking to and from the park so I knew everything there should be all good.
Overall it’s a parking lot at a theme park don’t expect to much as you gotta walk decently far no matter what park you go to!

The rides in the park are about average for a theme park, but having the wild animals contend with all that noise just seems wrong. After visiting the park I found out that their dolphins are originally stolen from their mothers as babies. These animals swim 100 miles a day in the open ocean, but six flags keeps them imprisoned in pools. They had a killer whale attack it’s trainer in 2012, their solution to that was to send it to sea world in SoCal. This whale was stolen from its mother as a baby. Sad that they exploit animals for profit. The elephants are beaten to break their spirit so they will do their tricks for you. 29 animals have died there in the last 20 years.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is located in Vallejo which is approximately 35 miles or one hour outside of San Francisco. The last time I was here it was known as Marine World. At that time it was known as an animal park as to a theme park with major ride attractions. The city hired Six Flags to manage the park and to increase attendance.
On the week day that we visited, it was crowded prior to the opening. I found out that this was due to season pass holders inviting a friend for free.
Pros:
–Average wait time on weekday was 30 minutes for the popular rides.
Cons:
–Ride attractions were breaking down and out for some time.
–Strict bag rules. You are not able to bring any bags with you on the rides or even leave them on the side. You either leave them in your car or utilize the lockers for a fee.
Overall not a bad experience since we rode the Superman, V2, Medusa, and Kong three times each. We left the park earlier than expected and was satisfied till our next visit.

This place deserves NO stars! PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! There are thieves targeting trucks and sport utility vehicles, stealing catalytic converters! The particular day we were there they stole from at least three Sequoias. (also read Jennifer’s review)
Thieves know there aren’t any cameras in the lot and security is a complete joke! After I discovered it stolen, I had to chase one down, and he reported it to other security employees, but there wasn’t anything else he could do! Soon after the report was made, a golf cart with four security guys rode through the parking lot checking under other Toyota’s, but that was it! They aren’t there to offer any other assistance, so you’re on your own! It was late, dark, and the park had closed. We were stuck with a vehicle that was inoperable and two hours away from home. Finally, around 9:30pm, a tow truck came to haul away our vehicle, but we still had a figure out a ride home! Great times!
We are season ticket holders, but not anymore! We don’t feel comfortable parking any of our vehicles in this parking lot and going through this hassle ever again! The $ 20 they charge for parking doesn’t get you any extra security, and it only takes these criminals 60 seconds to steal catalytic converters, so parking close won’t help!
I filed a police report through the Vallejo website, but catalytic converters are untraceable. The damage they did will cost my insurance $ 4100 and they’ll probably only get $ 100-​$ 200 for the parts.
Thanks 6 Flags!!!

If I could give no stars I would. We paid the $ 20 fee to park only to have both catalytic converters stolen from under my truck and security knew it happened because they were waiting for us when we got to the parking lot. Security offered no information to help us. And didn’t even give us any information or take any of our information. SO HOW DID THEY KNOW THEY WERE STOLEN??? HMMM And yet not tell us anything. to help. The guys, James Luke, was the name of the guy who finally gave us his card after 25 minutes of him telling us that calling the local pd wouldn’t help, they aren’t responsible for anything, and they don’t have any cameras in the parking lot. I also asked what the $ 20 fee is for if they don’t even keep a look out for things and if they know that Sequoias are likely to have these stolen in their lots why wouldn’t they tell you that before you park!!! We weren’t even very far from the front of the lot, section B in the first part of the lot.
PARKERS BEWARE!

Beginning one hour from closing, this parking lot is chaos at best, negligence at worst. There are only two lanes out — one of which combines heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic onto one road. The second way out becomes blocked with trams. There is no pedestrian bridge over the lanes exiting the lot. There are also no park staff to direct traffic at the crosswalk. A ceaseless throng of people block the road causing massive vehicle backups and lots of near misses between doughy flesh and metal. $ 20 for this is a crime.

Parking is like $ 20 which is standard for a theme park. It’s pretty far from the park and not very well shaded or directed. They have a tram from the lot to the park.

Horrible Planning. Why on earth would they have the parking lot damn near a mile away from the entrance? Why wouldn’t they open a new entrance near the lot? Why wouldn’t they have more than two exit lanes when thousands of people come and go at the exact same times?
Yeah, they’ve got a parking shuttle. I walked the mile to get to the entrance to the park and didn’t see the shuttle go by once (same thing when leaving the park). My friend wanted to take the shuttle and I had been in the park 20 minutes by the time he got there.
It took 45 minutes from the time I got to my car to get to the exit because there are only two exit lanes. It doesn’t take a genius to see that they need more exits, and a pedestrian walkway to keep the traffic flowing instead of having pedestrians stop exiting traffic every other minute.

Pathetic to have to spend $ 20.00 for parking and then have to walk ¾ mile if you don’t care to wait for the bloody shuttle that’s not running often enough when the place is packed.

This place, the parking isn’t bad. There are more animal attractions and shows then there are rides. If you’re seeking for an adventure and more roller coasters, go to great America. If you’re seeking to learn more about animals and see shows with then, six flags marine world is your amusement park! I came here with the family and enjoyed it. The little kids, aging 5 – 9 had a great time. While the 11 – 16 year olds weren’t having so much fun, maybe they think they’re too cool for rides? (Outrageous, if you ask me). It’s what you make out of it, I enjoyed watching the kids have a blast! It’s affordable and I would definitely go back.

Huge parking lot. Not a lot of shade and if you get there after 12 you’ll probably be out on the far edge of the lot, which is quite a walk, even to the tram waiting area. We were there at 2 on a Saturday, which meant we were like at the last possible row of spots. It’s $ 20 to park and they have a 3 car tram that is good to use. In fact, I recommend it because this park is a big one and there’s a lot of walking involved, which is good– but with the heat and the crowds, save your energy and take it (besides, you get your money’s worth of parking by using it and the wait is really not bad at all –maybe 5 minutes tops as they have two that circle around all day long).
I’m not sure about safety as we had no problem but it’s dark, in a big lot and in Vallejo so sure, don’t loiter around –just do what you have to and go where you’re going. Anyway, what we did was we stayed until 5, then I wanted to go back to the car to change into jeans, get a jacket and leave my tote bag there too and we moved the car to the first few rows of parking. We stayed in the park until closing time (which was 10 that day for a special event). Get a hand stamp and take the tram from and to and you’ll have no problem getting there and back quickly if you want to go back into the park.

The lot was fine. $ 20 seems a bit steep, but then you don’t have a lot of other options. They have a tram to take you from the lot to the park. You see a fair number of people tailgating and there are garbage cans around. There isn’t a side walk, so people just seem to meander along where the cars drive, so you have to watch out for that.

Well as far as parking lots go, this is a parking lot DUH! It is a big lot and it is concrete. Seems to be well organized. There is a tram that runs back and forth.
The whole paying for parking is what is really stupid. If you buy the expensive tickets to go to a park, the parking should just be free.

Not really sure how to rate this parking lot. I mean it does get full on the weekends an during the summer. They have plenty of parking so that isn’t a problem. The 1^st two lanes in the front of for VIP parking — basically paying more to park closer which is pretty much pointless because its not that far to walk and there is a bus that takes you right to the entrance to the park.
The line getting into the parking lot is what takes the longest to get to park. Parking is $ 15 which I think is ok but it would kill if it was $ 10. Make sure not to leave valuables in your car.

For a place that is supposed to bring smiles, they’re failing. I expect long lines for rides, but the long slow lines to get a drink are plain ridiculous. Bad management. They need to review procedures. Leaving tons of concession money on the table today…

I am not a roller coaster person, but I truly enjoyed visiting Six Flags! Not only are there lots of milder rides, but there are animals and shows as well. I loved seeing the tigers, I just wish I hadn’t missed the tiger show! I remember watching it ten years ago and seeing the diving tiger.
However, I was able to catch the dolphin show which was amazing! The dolphin trainers are very good and the dolphins are talented.
Since I don’t ride roller coasters, I am often the bag holder for my friends. I was fortunate enough to go to Six Flags for the first weekend of Fright Night. After 6:00, the zombies came out and the night became incredibly entertaining. The performances on stage were a joy to watch-​singing and dancing zombies! I also got to watch zombies chasing and scaring people as I was waiting for my friends.
I plan on coming back every year just for Fright Fest!

Way over priced for admission unless you plan ahead. I had drink cup literally stolen from us. Park services were not responsive and everyone at the park just tries to upswell everything. They charged two kids adult prices for elephant ride as they were 49 inches (not 48″). Seems pretty sad and really makes me not want to go back. Can’t say it was a good day even though I had high hopes for good tome. Boooo. We will go to other attractions in the Bay Area…

Medusa! Ride it, then do it again & maybe one more time after that. Easily the best ride in the whole park & the line was so short, the line at McDonalds is longer! One of my favorite rides next to Magic Mountains’ X2 & Goliath. Superman ride is no joke either but it was just too quick for me.
The park is pretty dead compared to Great America & Magic Mountain but i would be this in front of Great America by a mile. BUT doesn’t come close to Magic Mountain. They do have animals and allow you to swim with Dolphins & feed em and ride Elephants but you have to pay extra.
The Dolphin shows are cool but repetitive after 5 minutes but still worth a watch. WARNING! The circus dolphin show, is not really about the dolphins, its basically a circus with people doing stunts so if
you got time for that go for it.
But ehhhhh i would comeback next summer with some homies, if we get a deal on tickets or something.

If you get to the park an hour early, you might just be lucky enough to park in the B section closest to the park. Bring your own grub and find a picnic table to eat, or bring a blanket and set yourself on one of the endcaps. The seagulls and pigeons are fun to feed and get progressively aggressive… hold on to your hot dog or you just might lose it!

Don’t pre pay for parking. There is no discount and no faster line.
