ELITCH GARDENS
Denver, Colorado (Abbreviation: EG)
Known at Six Flags Elitch Gardens (1999 - 2006)
PARC Management
 Park News - (5/7/08) I’ve been told that the former Round Em Up’ (Tilt-A-Whirl) at Elitch Gardens has been moved to a new location next to the entrance of Shipwreck Falls and renamed as simply, Tilt-A-Whirl. It’s also been confirmed that the park was able to save their old Huss Rainbow after all after waiting nearly a year to receive the right parts they needed. I’ve also been informed that Mind Eraser has been repainted and is looking quite sharp.
(4/2/08) A local source has sent in some names and dates for this summer’s concert series at the park. If the schedule holds true you can expect to see:
6/7/08 – Smash Mouth
6/14/08 – Mercy Me
6/21/08 – Randy Travis
7/5/08 – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
7/19/08 – Raven Symone
7/26/08 – Drake Bell
8/2/08 – Billy Ray Cyrus
(3/21/08) Elitch Gardens will feature two new shows this season, one will be an African Acrobats show while the other will be called Hot Diggity Dogs… featuring trained dog doing what they do best.
(3/20/08) The local news has confirmed the rumored price drops at Elitch Gardens.
(3/17/08) Screamscape sources tell us that the Flying Coaster (Zamperla Volare) at Elitch Gardens will not run this season. Apparently the park has deemed that the ride’s lack of popularity compared to the price of repairs and upkeep needed to reopen it for the season just didn’t add up. No word on when they may opt to remove it however, though I imagine they’re more likely to try and sell it. In other news Elitch Gardens will apparently cut their ticket prices by about $10, making the cost of an adult ticket just $34.99 along with a drop in the price of parking.
(7/25/07) We’ve got a few new rumors from Elitch Gardens this morning. First off it seems the Huss Rainbow has been closed for most of the season due to mechanical troubles and there is now a rumor going around that it may be removed and possibly replaced by something new next season. In other news, we’re heard that a long term goal of the new management is to greatly expand the waterpark, possibly overtaking the current picnic area nearby which would be moved to a new location, possibly near Twister II.
2008 - Ghost Blasters 2 and Imaginique - Confirmed - (4/2/08) We’ve been told that the new Cirque style show playing in the Trocadero this summer will be called Imaginique.
(3/17/08) From what we’ve heard, there hasn’t been much in the way of construction on the new Ghost Blasters 2 attraction. So far we’ve heard that they have removed the old Turntable Arcade and will move the Round Em’ Up (Tilt-A-Whirl) to make room for the new ride.
(2/15/08) In an interview with John Wood of Sally Corp at the EAS show posted by Parksmania, they confirm they will be building Ghost Blasters 2 at Elitch Gardens. Ghost Blasters 2 is a more scary and improved version of the old Ghost Blasters concept that will be realized with full animatronic figures instead of just 2D cut outs.
