Monsoon Falls (DK's version of Tidal Wave) is the exact opposite for anyone who was curious. Their version gets everyone wet, if not soaked regardless of where you sit. Why? Maybe because they don't have that bunny hop on the fall like Tidal Wave does. The rides were the best part, and quite honestly in our opinion, the park serves as a terrible zoo with animals made into attractions or sleeping next to them. If anything, the best animal habitat there would have to be the Butterfly Exhibit, warmed to tropical temps year round with a haven for butterflies of all kinds flying everywhere. The overall environment of DK was nice with their tropical/jungle music played throughout the park and general adventure theme. But in all honesty, I don't think Six Flags should be dealing with animals in a theme park of theirs. Discovery Kingdom would be fine with just the rides.
