SIX FLAGS
DISCOVERY KINGDOM
Vallejo, California
Six Flags Theme Parks
 Park News - (1/1/2026) Welcome to 2026… and while I’m not saying that the park is in danger… I’ve been told that theme park fans may want to start visiting Six Flags Discovery Kingdom a little more often before corporate gets any funny ideas about their future plans for their last remaining theme park park in the Bay Area.
In the meantime, we know what fate has in store for California’s Great America and I’d like to think that business at that park begins to wind down a little more each year that the attendance levels would begin to shift more into the favor of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. We’ve already seen the end of fun seasonal events like Halloween and WinterFest at CGA, leaving SFDK as your only option at this point.
However... increasing labor costs, unusual land use restrictions, and perhaps not the best relationship with the local government when it comes to making the park successful, plus the usual assortment of headaches that come along with any park that has live animals on property... it’s easy to see how busines-as-usual at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom can be a little more complicated. Losing one park is bad enough, I’d hate to see both vanish in the years to come.
2026 - Nothing new is known to be planned for the season.
???? - New Attraction Guest Survey Concepts - (10/18/2025) Six Flags has begun sending out surveys to select guests to get feedback about possible future addition concepts that may be in the works. Keep in mind that not every concept they pitch for any given park may actually be intended for that particular park, as sometimes the chains will pitch ride concepts to other markets as well to gain some broader feedback on certain concepts. With that said… let’s dig into what is currently being pitched for the various parks.
An interesting concept was proposed for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom… the Vekoma Suspended Thrill Glider coaster, which was the idea everyone was expecting Six Flags Magic Mountain to add until the project seemed to get suddenly paused during the merger. It’s possible the proposed SFMM project could be relocated to another park.
