“This is an exciting new venture and a great opportunity to
provide families with more entertainment options in this important
market,” said Six Flags President and CEO John Duffey. “Guests in
Northern California will now have the opportunity to enjoy two
beautiful Six Flags parks. This is truly a win-win, as we welcome
our 20th property—Waterworld California—back into our family of
parks.”
The 30-acre Waterworld California features more than 35 water
attractions, including the region’s largest wave pool, an
interactive children’s play area and its newest offering—Break
Point Plunge. This heart-pounding, 270-foot long looping thrill
ride launches riders in a capsule from a height of more than six
stories. Other extreme slides include Honolulu Halfpipe—a mammoth
curved tube slide—and Cliffhanger, one of the park’s signature
speed slides.
Waterworld California opens for the 2017 season on May 13. Six
Flags Discovery Kingdom is now open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
