Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (SFDK) Discussion Thread

[pdconHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Funny thing is, that is the exact same day Sky Rocket opened in 2010.

With hundereds of major coasters at US parks, that primarily open their new rides between April and July, you are likely to find dozens of coasters that have the same brithday.

June 21st, well I'm planning to move out of the Bay Area on the 14th, so I guess I can stay here one more week for Superman. With a June 21st opening, they probably have to start testing by the 7th.

The design is so unique! I cannot wait to see a POV of this ride.

This cool pic from the top of Roar is from the other evening and since then the second tower has risen significantly but you can see what a standout this ride is shaping up to be!

That photo is extremely old, at least by two weeks. Still a cool view though.

Hello everyone! My name is Charles, I'm the full time ride supervisor at Discovery Kingdom, and today I bring YOU an update of the exciting things we have going on behind the walls at Superman. It's been a long process from design to where we are now and it's wonderfull to see the ride finally go from paper to standing tall at the park. Let's take a peak.


This is what were here for right? Dirt!


At the end of today this is what the site looked like from what will be the entrance.


Ohhhhhh ahhhhh.






Twisty?


Here you can see the main entry points into the station


And this is where the queue will connect to the old Zonga/Pandemonium Station


Of course as we go upward, we are also working on electrical that will make the ride go zoom.




Here you can clearly see that we have both a single and double spine.


Inside work is moving right along.







Here's the exit and and overall shot.


Hope you enjoyed looking around!

I'll continue to post as things progress to keep you in the loop only a few larger pieces to go! I look forward to seeing you all at the park!

[Angry_GumballIt's All About Quality!]

^Sweet, thanks for sharing! Probably the most detail I've seen on this ride!

[MechanicCan you see the donkey in my toast?]

This is the best update so far. Looking forward to riding this very soon.

[AndrewoplisWhen I grow up, I want to breed donkeys!]

Awesome update! I can't wait to see this ride in action!

[TmcdllrWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

The color in this pic is amazing....so rich and vibrant!
