Six Flags: Marine World

You enter through metal detectors and any bags are thoroughly searched. I was relieved of a 1-1/2 inch combination nail file and pen knife. When I objected, a supervisor bucking for a Homeland Security promotion intervened and threatened me with an unnamed "one choice". Rather than embarrass my granddaughter with a scene I gave them my weapon of mass dysfunction and swore never to return to this noisy financially struggling theme park.

Marine world is great. So is six flags. But they are not great together. Before the inclusion it was fund to take the kids to see all the animals, but now there are the roller coasters placed in random places which only make it more difficult to navigate to your destination. Since the rides are so big, you have to walk around them for like 5 minutes to find their entrance, on the way you get to see an animal or two but you are not really enjoying doing either. You have to walk up lots and lots of hills, and the parking lot is SO far away that you have to wait for the shuttle. Its not fun waiting for over 5 minutes for a shuttle in the mid day heat either. Its a place you might want to visit once, but not a place youd hold season passes for.

Six Flags Marine World is a wonderful amusement park for the young and the elder located in Vallego,California. Marine World has many shows, animals, and rides for everyone to enjoy. Some shows that are there are the jetski water show, the sea lion show, and the new shamu, the whale, show. There are a wide variety of rides also like the Medusa, Roar, and Water rides. There are shows like the dinosaur one which is a combination of a ride and a 3-D show. There are many other rides and shows at Marine World. Many children loves come here because there are many fun activities and there is even a kids town to go on small rides.

The park has lost it's spark. The rollercoasters are alright, but a lot of the visitors worry about it breaking down (again). There are wonderful rides like the Dinosaur 3D experience. The watershows are alright, and it's always nice to see Silvester and Tweety walking hand in hand together.

I don't recommend coming to this park if you don't enjoy a nice walk uphill.
