Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (5/10/12) I came across an interesting article online this week. A local woman has started an online petition to demand that the Federal Government force Six Flags Discovery Kingdom to find their Killer Whale a “roommate”. Of course this isn’t for a lack of trying, as Six Flags has attempted to find a fellow Killer Whale to partner with Shouka for some time now. Apparently the woman who started the petition would rather not see the whale in captivity at all, but since that really isn’t an option, she feels the least they can do is provide it with a fellow killer whale companion.
    (1/24/12) The latest progress shot on the SFDK Facebook page shows that Big Spin is now gone, and the ride is open and ready for Superman to rise.
    (1/11/12) Pandemonium is coming down… and you can check on the progress over at the Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Facebook page.
    (8/9/11) I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but while I was previously told SkyScreamer at SFDK had reopened, it was reported as being down for inspection over this past weekend. Also, during the Q&A session at the Bay Area Bash event over the weekend, a park rep mentioned that they have something in the works for the park’s closed simulator ride building. No more hints, or even a timeline as to when we can expect this, but at least it’s something. In other news, they also mentioned that they are hoping to swap out Kong’s trains for the new style Vekoma restraint trains in the next few years. (Whenever they can get the corporate office to sign off on the deal I guess, which doesn’t help lock things down either…)

2012 - Superman: Ultimate Flight - (5/13/12) ThemeParkOverload has posted a new construction video for Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFDK. Check it out below.

    (5/9/12) ThemeParkPOVs has posted a new construction video showing off Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFDK.

    (4/26/12) Premier Rides tweeted a new picture showing off vertical construction under way for Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFDK. I’ve got a feeling we are going to see this bad boy go up very quickly.
    (4/10/12) A new Superman construction video from SFDK has been posted online by ThemeParkPOVs.

    (4/4/12) ThemeParkOverload dropped by SFDK to take a look at the progress on Superman Ultimate Flight.
    (3/19/12) A quick trip report from SFDK from opening day has been posted to ThemeParkOverload this week. They also posted a short video from the Superman: Ultimate Flight construction site to enjoy as well. Check it out below.

    (12/15/11) We’ve got a g reat new concept art piece showing off the Superman: Ultimate Flight coaster coming to SFDK sent in by our friends at Premier Rides.
    (9/1/11) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom had a surprise up it’s sleeve for the 2012 season, a new coaster in the form of Superman: Ultimate Flight. This is a great new take on the SkyLoop coaster concept from Premier Rides featuring a covered launch over 60mph up a twisted vertical climb to the top, a 150 foot tall barrel roll before you take the vertical plunge that will twist as you dive back to the ground and up into a crazy non-inverting loop before you dive back into Superman’s fortress.

    (8/23/11) Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has started teaser their 2012 attraction on the official website. (It’s one of the image images that scrolls through, so if you can’t find it, just wait for it. The announcement is September 1st, and the teaser describes it as being an “over-the-top, upside-down” kind of ride.
    (7/22/11) The latest rumors seem to indicate that SFDK will add another ride to the park in 2012. Unfortunately, I’ve also heard that it wont be the large new coaster follow-up to Medusa that everyone has been waiting forever for. Instead expect some kind of small to medium sized attraction.
