 Park News - (10/19/11) Scroll down a bit here to see a series of trip report pictures from Elitch Gardens, sizing up the park after a season under new management.
(5/11/11) Rex and The Beast are back with a video showing off Elitch Gardens on opening day.
(5/5/11) Good news for Elitch Gardens this season, according to Joel Manby, head of Herschend Family Entertainment, one area of primary focus for the 2012 season is to keep every ride in the park running, and not let things fall into disrepair as was seen in the last few years. They also plan to upgrade food options, better landscaping, new shows, nightly fireworks, concerts and more. Read all the details here.
(1/26/11) Herschend Family Entertainment has announced that they have signed a deal with CNL to assume the day to date management duties of both Darien Lake and Elitch Gardens, effective immediately.
(1/19/11) Previously I had reported that Herschend was rumored to be seriously interested in running Darien Lake for CNL, but now my sources report that Herschend bigwigs are rumored to be headed out to Elitch Gardens later this week to look into that property as well. If true, don’t expect these to be a buyout deal, as CNL isn’t looking to sell, but rather a management contract to run the park(s). Anyone else know more?
2012 - Unknown - Nothing is known at this point in time.
