My family haven’t been to discovery kingdom since 2019. Vallejo is our hometown. It’s sad how discovery kingdom got worse. I hope with the new conversion things change. Love your videos and your energy!
@mbuckets2582 thank you! I must say, these last few years, the park has certainly been slowly refurbishing attractions. We just need another very cool ride or ride replacements.
Hello Eldon, I'm watching this video now, and I loved your positive thoughts and inspiration on being happy and moving forward with life I totally agree, I just joined you, but I have to say you are fun to watch and have a wonderful personality, keep up the great work you are heading in the right direction two thumbs up 👍👍. Stay cool and positive.
Whenever I see the lions Cain, Tau and Tsavo it’s always bittersweet cause I was going there regularly when they were all little cubs and it’s awesome to see how big they’ve gotten but it also reminds me that Tau & Tsavo had a sister who unfortunately feel ill and didn’t make it. Still happy that the three boys have bonded so well and are looking healthy. Thanks as always for the updates and continuing to bring positivity, especially to SFDK! 🤙🏽
found you looking for park updated for my home park and now you're my comfort tuber! thank you for making the stuff you do and i wish the best success for your channel man! i love watching ur new videos every time they come out
@gurgleguy sweet! Thanks man, I really appreciate it! So far, it's been a lot of fun. I can't wait myself to see where we go 😁 nothing but positive comments and most positive energy from everyone. I appreciate it all!
41:52 is where I come in. It was a great time meeting you on this ride and I’m happy that you had fun with us. Hopefully I’ll see you soon. I guy that didn’t scream bloody murder in the cave by the way.
@@Eldons_Excursions that was my first time to six flags so thanks for making my experience better. And if you want to do a water park we are heading to one in a couple weeks
Hi Eldon, my wife and I enjoy watching your videos. Her and I met each other when we were both working there. I was part of the show productions team from 2009 - 2015, doing audio and video for the various animal shows. As far as the background music at sharks goes, my best guess is that it's from the Universal Music Production library, formerly known as Killer Tracks. It was fun while it lasted. Glad to see the park seems to be investing in making improvements!

I saw that cruze by Provost Park Pass good deal cause you can make payments and its discounted. Im highly considering it. You inspired me to go to Discovery kingdom man, and I loved it! Had a blast with my daughter and then seen the amazing drone show. I have to agree fireworks are better, CGA did a great one this year. Magic Kingdom park was huge! All the rides, Medusa was my favorite and the animals, sharks, plus a butterfly house? That park is amazing not sure why its so underrated, we loved it and now got a season passes to go back anytime. Thanks for the inspiring posts Eldon. Your personality makes me smile. You do great work on these posts. Thumbs up 👍 way up!
@Fam-G2 heeeey, thanks man!! I seriously appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. Yeah! I completely agree. This park is so underrated. To have all 3 big amusements in one is just something people sleep on. Aquarium, Zoo, and theme park in one. Thanks again! Maybe I'll see you guys on the cruise!
@Eldons_Excursions Yeah perhaps! I'm gonna try to save for it and also see if I can catch Epic Universe while we are out there. Thanks for the kinds words bro, always appreciate you.
Great video Eldon it looks like you had a blast! Can’t wait to see what fun you get into next 😁 thanks for sharing with all of us. And please don’t forget me when you’re a big UA-camr haha 🫶🏻❤️
I’m one of those new subscribers and I’m sooooo here for it while living vicariously through you. This heat dude, you’re a champ! I’d die. 😂 I also hope you find your sunglasses. 😎👏👏👏
Looks like you gotta a little wet there 😮😂. I completely forgot about the elephants you could ride ❤ I heard that they are shipping off the last African elephant in the Bay Area to Tennessee so that he can be reunited with a female elephant he once lived with. This way he won’t be alone anymore. Such a sweet story for him
I waited in line (over an hour) for White Water Safari when I was there for a birthday trip in the middle of August..never got on it. 🤣 It broke down and then they fixed it, broke down again, fixed & when we were next in line, it broke down and they closed the ride! 😂 The aquarium music sounds super relaxing 😎 The video was rad! An awesome Wednesday in the park! 🎢
Next time you visit the park you should walk around instead of walking up the staircase near Johnny rockets. You can kinda see kong being worked on through the fences
Enjoyed the video. Can't wait to see you vlog the Discovery Princess this year. Also what's the name of the cruise ship on Royal Caribbean Cruises you will be going on next year?
@@Eldons_Excursions You will love that ship. They have zip lining and a whole bunch other activities can't wait to see you record videos from the zip lining experience. Surf-riding, ice rink and they have this real high waterslide which I think you will enjoy.
Continue to stay positive and smile through each day, no matter what life throws at you. Fill your heart with what makes you happy and brings you lots of joy😊 Always surround yourself with people that appreciate you for who you are, support you, and lift you up❤️ With all of these in your life, you will be just fine😊
@@Eldons_ExcursionsI always see the positive in everything, no matter what😊 Life is too short… So I would rather just enjoy all that we are blessed with everyday. Kindness and positivity always wins❤️
@walterwhite1 Well I'll say compared to what it used to be a couple of year's ago, it's gotten better. You have to at least visit first and ride the Joker. Plus, with this merge that's happened, better things may be on the way.

Thank you for recording a recent experience of the park, very interested for this years fright fest
@cesararroyo221 No problem! I hope we get at least one of the franchise haunted houses. I'll be back in the park for updates.
