 Park News - (6/30/10) PARC Management (with the help of MacroView Labs) has launched two new iPhone apps for two of their parks: Darien Lake and Elitch Gardens. The new free Apps give users access to park information pages, maps, weather updates, concert info and more. Android, Blackberry and many other smart-phone users can also access the mobile web web for the parks at the following links: Darien Lake and Elitch Gardens.
(6/3/10) I’ve got a little more information regarding the various ride closures reported last weekend at Elitch Gardens. The Rainbow is on the way out of the park and will not run again as part of the fallout of the incident that happened with a similar ride in Europe a couple of seasons ago. The park’s water rides (Disaster Canyon and Shipwreck Falls) were also reported as being down, though Tower of Doom was only closed due to wind issues on certain days. Spider and Troika are said to be down due to various mechanical issues that came up during the previous weekend.
(6/1/10) According to a reader who went by Elitch Gardens this past weekend, many attractions were closed down. I’m not sure if they’ve been closed all season to date or if there was just a sudden batch of technical problems but the list includes: Half Pipe, Tower of Doom, Shake Rattle & Roll, Chaos, Rainbow, Troika, Dragon Wing, Spider (in pieces), Wacky Warehouse and Cactus Coaster.
(5/12/10) Elitch Gardens has added a unique new upcharge attraction this season called This Is A Clue. Apparently it’s a sort of interactive mystery clue-seeking game where players are sent around the park to solve a mystery. While the official This Is A Clue website doesn’t seem to have too many details, you can see a video over at Rex & The Beast showing off how one of their adventures in the park plays out.
(5/4/10) Rex and the Beast have posted a trip report from the season opening of Elitch Gardens.
(1/4/10) Elitch Gardens has been asking for guest opinions on the idea of opening up for a Christmas Holiday themed event in the future. This might be something to for them to try in the next year or two if the public reaction is good enough.
(10/20/09) Rex & The Beast have posted a video and review of Elitch Gardens Fright Fest event. Check it out!
(8/31/09) While the Boomerang has been reported as closed for much of the last month, we’ve heard that it did reopen finally over the weekend.
(8/7/09) Several Elitch Gardens rides have been reported to have been suffering from some issues lately, while others have had problems since the start of the season. I’ve been told that Minderaser closed down not long ago, and may not reopen for awhile. Boomerang has also been reported by several to have been closed for several weeks now. Rainbow has not opened this year and Half-Pipe has perhaps the most frequent bits of downtime of any ride in the park. Meanwhile Thunderbolt, Chaos and Shake Rattle & Roll were also down quite a bit at the start of the season but have since reopened.
(5/9/09) A great video showing off the new Ghost Blasters II dark ride system from Sally Corp, as installed Elitch Gardens last season, has been posted to YouTube and embedded below for your viewing pleasure.
2010 - New Shows - (4/1/10) Elitch Gardens will celebrate their 120th Anniversary with a new nighttime laser show as well as two new day shows: Rocknation and Bob The Builder: Live.
