My third and final stop on my northwestern trip was Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA. With the future of California's Great America very much in doubt, this just may be the only major theme park in NorCal within the next five years. The park experienced staggering growth during the Coaster Wars with a whopping seven roller coasters installed between 1998 and 2001. The headlining attractions are the massive custom B&M floorless Medusa, and the Joker, the first GCI coaster converted to IBOX by RMC. Join me for my first visit to Discovery Kingdom where I ride my 250th roller coaster!
