Instructions & Recommendations

Take note that, for safety reasons, many rides have minimum height requirements so children will not be able to get on all of them. Opening hours change every week so please check the website: https://www.sixflags.com/discoverykingdom/plan-your-visit/park-hours

Meta review

A lot of fake online reviews as usual for commercial-only ventures with large visitor flows. Screening those out, it is quite clear that a sizeable portion of customers are left frustrated by the long waiting lines and the rides closed because they suffer from repeat technical problems. Otherwise, some families seem to have a good fun. The price of parking draws some negative comments.

Environmental & Social

Creates some local employment. The attraction is energy intensive but the park is aiming to be powered by solar energy for 80% of its requirements.

Conclusion

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is a fair theme / amusement park option for families but it lacks any specific draw or wow factor and often has long waiting time for rides, so it is best for regional residents rather than travellers with limited time in the area.

Key positive

Some good roller-coaster rides

Key negative

Long waiting time and recurring breakdowns (no safety issue)

Expensive parking

Suitability

All ages welcome but best for families - age and height restrictions apply Visitors with disabilities will not be able to enjoy all rides.
