Six Flaggs already has ties with Warner Bros. and features DC Comics character and Looney Tunes charater rides in their theme parks across the United States with a variety of rides. Now Six Flaggs Discovery Kingdom, in Vallejo, California, has announced that it will be adding a Pacific Rim attraction to it’s theme park. Might be cool we’ll just have to wait and see. No specific dates have been announced before the attraction will be open just coming soon, but it is this year.
CAPCOM promoting Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate game with a tour to different venues. From March 28 to August 10 Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park in Los Angeles, California. On the parks Goliath roller coaster the train has been redecoed to be a Gore Magala monster, the park will have additional outside displays (some pictured above), and the park will also have special Monster Hunter merchandise to purchase.

Anaheim, California, is the host city of AM2 convention. The convention will be June 15-17 at the Anaheim Convention Center and Anaheim Hilton. The library’s in the area might want to advertise the convention and spotlight the convention. Why spotlight the convention? Well first to let your anime fans now it’s coming, but also because the convention will be having two showings of the live action film Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
