What to do with the Solano County Fairgrounds?
As many of your already know, since 2009 the 149 acre Solano County Fairgrounds have been marked to be transformed into "Solano 360," a mixed use area that combines retail, a restored creek, office space, an exhibition hall, and more. The project would hopefully revitalize the area and improve the fairgrounds. However, this development is not without its critics. In an editorial by the The Reporter, they argue (based on a report by the Solano County Supervisors) that Solano 360 isn't economically viable, and instead the county should focus on tapping into Discovery Kingdom's visitors.
Here is the editorial from The Reporter. For more information on Solano 360, check out their website here.
SkyScreamer Opens to Public
Friday May 27th, SkyScreamer opened to the public and Discovery Kingdom started daily operation for the summer. Having been on SkyScreamer myself, I can safely say it is a ride that will have wide appeal to a lot of different groups. It's a bit thrilling because of the height and the speed, but the motion isn't so disorrienting that you can't enjoy the view from the top.
