If you want to read the entire thread, it's here:http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum...ic.php?t=27731
Though I must put a 'read at your own risk' warning in front of it. TPR doesn't exactly have the same guidelines that we do here.

So what that is exactly is a trademark claim for Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. While this does mean that something will be called Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, it's not clear what exactly be given that name. The guy who posted the thread assumed it was Marine World, I gather because it mentions live animal performances & what not, which Marine World gives, but upon closer inspection, that's just a general description of Six Flags. He also mentioned something about a contract expiring next year...not sure what's up with that.

So we have another interesting rumor coming out of Six Flags that I thought you'd all like to know.

Interesting A name change. I wonder if they are trying to make other changes besides the name? Well I plan on going with in the next few days maybe I will have to be a little nosy. lol
