I know nothing about SFMW (other than they have Roar and Medusa). Is there any room/chance for this park to become a big destination park in Northern California?

They've got Roar, Medusa (best B&M floorless I've been on), an SLC, a Boomerang, and the Intamin Impulse with an inversion. They also have [lame IMO] animal shows...and they just got rid of their Schwarzkopf. :vekoma: They don't really have room to expand that I can see, but it's an alright park.

It better have a roller slide and a climbable foam mountain. ;)

Then again, what was wrong with Marine World in the first place?
-My butt has touched 112 roller coasters, how unfortunate.

In my opinion, I kind of liked, the "Marine World" name better, but I have to say the "Discovery Kingdom" goes a lot better with the park.

I think it should get the SFWOA name, since that park is now GL.
Why is it that every impulse I ride valleys?

I think that they are changing it because it is sort of missleading. The park does'nt have just marine animals but land animals, shows, and rides too. I think that it is being changed because Discovery Kingdom is more appropiate for the park and it will seem less confusing to the GP. SFMW sounds like an aquarium but SFDK sounds like an amusemt park.

Just my double pennies.
- Come visit me at Test Track, Mission Space, and Spaceship Earth in EPCOT over at WDW, I would love to meet some more TPR members!

The new name sounds great, I'm just one to always think about the past ones. I'd like to to go to Six Flags over Mid-America (St. Louis) in the future.
