This article could use some spiffying up, but it is not really written like an advertisement. It documents the existence of said amusement park. Isaac Crumm 19:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I found a logo of Marine World Africa USA. But how do I put it on the page without plagerizing the owner?
Image:SFDK Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 10:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Before the Looney Tunes Seaport, and even before the Popeye's Seaport, I remember that the play area used to be for a local TV station's kids club. I can't remember if it was KTVU or KOFY, but it definitely featured the characters from Animaniacs, which happened to be played on both channels at different points in time. Hmmm, something about Lori and RJ. Funny, I still have my KOFY Kids Club membership card (it hasn't self-destructed yet). Anyways, can someone help me confirm? Oh yeah, and there was a big whale ballpen/slide too. -- Geopgeop 08:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Oppose. The Marine World Africa use has a decades long history and contains many unique features of attractions, community relations, development history that would be cumbersome to evolve in a Vallejo site article. Cuvette 02:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
I believe the statement "In 2000, the park opened its fourth major roller coaster dubbed "Medusa". Medusa was built by Bolliger & Mabillard and was the first floorless roller coaster on the West Coast." is not accurate. It either needs to explain what "floorless" means (and list a link), or I'd have to say that Batman rollercoaster at Great American holds that title by at least 5 years sooner. With no citation, I propose the removal of that statemnt. Fcsuper 16:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
The controversy section of this article is very biased. The entire section only has one source, an article about animal cruelty that doesn't mention discovery kingdom. It also seems to violate the no original research policy. Lmcleodson ( talk) 01:40, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Somewhere along the line someone added the following in the External links section, which may or may not have supported the oriinal controversy section: "Affidavits by former employees: Melissa Hindman, Aaron Wilson". These are not appropriate External link material to begin with, and do not support any material currently in the article, so I'm just "parking" them here. If they are used, they should be in a section in the Six flags "Controversy" article here anyway. Don Lammers ( talk) 02:22, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
On glancing at this article, I invoked WP:BOLD and removed the "Concerns" section. Most of it was unsourced, and though there were a few external links that seemed intended to be sources they all linked to the same site and did not directly support the claims made. Most of the claims made in the section were not even about Six Flags Discovery Kingdom specifically, but rather the general subject of anti-animal captivity. Though there is certainly a place for information on criticisms and controversies surrounding a business, the content must be specifically relevant to the article's subject and carefully sourced. -- IllaZilla ( talk) 07:26, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
There is repeat vandalism that is obviously purposeful. User changing park to prison and referencing "animal torture". It's been edited but it's occurring repetitively. Swerky18 ( talk) 13:44, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
The Kids Rides Section should be converted into a table to be in line with the rest of the article. Also there seems to be a lot of descriptions from the park map/accessibility guide. Eye4ThemeParks ( talk) 21:29, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Some of the ride types are in tables while others are just bulleted lists. This should be fixed. FFrenchyyyy ( talk) 03:04, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
