Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, formerly Six Flags Marine World, Marine World, The New Marine World Theme Park, and Marine World Africa USA, is an theme park and zoo located in Vallejo, California, USA.
History
Marine World originally opened in 1968 in Redwood, California, USA, but after the 1985 season, the Redwood location closed and the park was moved to its current location in 1986. In 1996, Premier Parks purchased the park and started adding amusement rides. Prior to this, there were no amusement rides at Marine World.
On January 22, 2007, Six Flags announced that the park would be renamed to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.[1]
