The park's scheme is to offer promos on admissions. They get you by increasing parking prices. $15 cash only as of Sep09. The security check is really a food check. They do not allow you to bring food or water so that they can gouge you on the overpriced food sold in the park.
My 4 year old daughter liked the dolphin and killer whale shows but otherwise this place is overpriced and overcrowded. The lines are LONG for just about everything. Takes about 15-20 minutes just to get an ice cream. Went today and we waited about 40 minutes to get a picture taken with their killer whale prop. Rides? Don't even think about it ...
We went out for a family night out and ended up watching the security guards completely harrass a small group of kids to the point that I felt horrible and wanted to go home...One young man was walking in front of security and the security guard continued to kick him in the back of the legs and try to get him mad enough to fight back. The kids ...

will never return
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/28/09
this place is all about how to rip off people...I have a few suggestions: check your receipt before you leave the window..they charged my mom for an extra ticket and when she discovered it at the gate to get in, they said, "sorry no refunds". If you have a coupon but you think you don't need it because everyone is supposed to get in ...
Okay, since we didn't want a water park/ride park combo we decided to skip Calif. Great America ( it was also more expensive) and opted for the ride park/marine world combo of Six Flags. Being from Texas we are used to Six Flags parks - Astroworld and Fiesta Texas. The rides at Discovery Kingdom are okay - we thought Medusa was the best, and ...
I enjoy visiting six flags, it has just about anything for all ages. It has animal shows and action shows, rollercoasters for the young and the kids. A zoo with a variety of animals, water rides too. Arcade games and prizes, many food stands and small shops. Although it does get expensive. When I go with the family we spend around $200 in a day.
I go here every year and I enjoy it very much. I love the shows and rides. Its a theme park and zoo in one so its pretty much you get what you pay for. The only bad thing is parking and its pack during the weekends. But other than that it is alright.

Overpriced Tickets
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/22/08
The television and internet indicated adults would go for the price of kids; however, we were charged $15 more, being retired, driving 70+ miles each to meet there, we were held hostage. The ad has now been changed, but the ticket sellers indicated they receive plenty of the same complaint. Had we know, we would need coke cans or online tickets, ...

too expensive
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/09/08
a lot to do. Not as good as magic mountain..My family and I went. It was fun, but really crowed. Thought the fast passes were too expensive. Lines are long. Of course the food is high. They don't allow outside food and drink.. They should allow that,just provide lockers for people to use and pay for each day.. They could have a lot more fast ...
