Families with young children can wander through the lush land named for the Park's beloved African elephant Tava, and experience seven unique family rides, plus get up-close and personal with rare and exotic wildlife including lorikeets, macaws, porcupines, camels and much more. The addition of Tava's Jungleland makes the 140-acre Park home to the most kids' rides and the most family rides in Northern California. "We've designed Tava's Jungleland specifically with families in mind, combining innovative children's rides with rare, up-close animal encounters," said Bill Davis, vice president and general manager of Six Flags Marine World. "With the addition of this vibrant, new children's adventure area, Six Flags Marine World will offer twice the amount of attractions that young kids and parents can enjoy together." Seven new rides and 2 interactive attractions within Tava's Jungleland include: * Congo Queen -- Set sail for an unforgettable adventure on the latest innovative family ride that features a unique combination of rocking and whirling motion. * Nairobi's Look Out Balloons -- Up, up and away we go! Take a sky- high ride for a spectacular view of the Park on unique hot air balloon gondolas. * Tava's Elephant Parade -- Kids fly round and round on soaring pachyderms. * Monkey Around -- Glide through the air with ease on these monkey- themed swings. * Safari Jeep Tours -- Kids hop aboard and convoy through the backside of Tava's Jungleland. * Frog Hopper -- Little explorers are lifted 20 feet above the landscape before "hopping" down to their descent. * Safari River Journey -- All aboard on these miniature safari vessels for a most memorable voyage. * Splashwater Oasis -- Two towers of wet and wild excitement where kids can splash and cool off from the summer heat. * Treehouse Play Structure -- Kids climb high and explore one of the world's largest play structures, where they can explore three towers of fun offering cargo nets, slides, bridges and more. New Shouka's Splashtime Show In addition to all the fun and excitement of Tava's Jungleland, guests can also witness a rare display of grace, beauty and aerial acrobatics by two of the world's magnificent marine mammals, Shouka the beautiful killer whale and Merlin, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, in an all-new Shouka's Splashtime Show. Families will observe a rare interaction between a killer whale and dolphin and learn the importance of the duo's unique relationship in creating the first-ever mixed species environment on the west coast. "The training on having Shouka and Merlin socially interact with each other has been rewarding for both the animals as well for us trainers," said John Stewart, lead senior trainer at Shouka Stadium. "We are confident that the 2006 Shouka Splashtime Show will be very rewarding for our guests as they get to witness a 5,000-pound killer whale and 500-pound dolphin fly high in the air, side by side." The new show headlines the Park's entertainment program including 9 educational animal demonstrations.
