Vallejo: Six Flags Discovery Kingdom

Yesterday we travelled with some guys form school to a funpark (Discovery Kingdom) in Vallejo. Having no car, we decided to travel by the ferry. It was a fast catamaran boat, the cruise took about 50 minutes for the (estimated) 20 miles.
Although the park was quite expensive in the end, we enjoyed the day and had a lot of fun! Nevertheless I have to admit that the "Europapark" is more lovely... but they don't have roller coasters with loops,  spins and stuff like that, which was the main reason I wanted to visit this park.
They had also shows with dolphins, orcas and other animals (in which I'm not very interested) as well many other attractions. Here some impressions:

As you see, the wheather was awesome! (Like all the past several days) All in all we had a lot of fun... even if we missed the last ferry and had to wait for a bus to ge back to SF. Back in the San Fran (at about 10 pm) I ended the day visiting the Jack in the Box around the corner.

Yeah, sure... maybe we'll go to another park... but unfortunately it's not for free... there would also be the Great America's Park.
Jack is best for fries and burgers... Mexican stuff is way better in Del Taco or Taco Bell.
