This is my home park, I would agree with no main attraction roller coasters. With new management in place at Six Flags, and Six Flags considering buying their old parks, I do home Elitch Gardens is purchased by Six Flags. Elitch Gardens needs a little love in certain parts and some marquee rides. Fantastic video, hope you all enjoyed Denver!
when me and my family went there the tower of doom kept breaking down, my mom got scared and didnt let us ride, i was kinda mad at the time but thinking back on it it was probably the better choice
There's a budweiser brewery an hour away so that's probably why there's two tabs for it. Also, Twister 2 established my hate of rollercoasters as a child.
Jeremy Felker You're not alone. I like the ride, but I can't ride on it. No matter how hard I try to keep my head in place, it moves back and forth on the sharp edges (just like it does for a sharp turn while riding in a car; if the driver goes too fast). It really kills my neck. So I don't ride it.
This is my home park and I also worked the rides here for two seasons. Elitches is a good park, it just needs a few more major improvements. Space is obviously a big one and there's been possible plans to build a parking garage to create more space for the park to grow.
The only other Arrow Shuttle Loop left in the word (besides Sidewinder here and Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach) is Diamondback at Frontier City.
I need to know from you guys what shoes should I take when I go there in the summer should I take the timberlands boots thats wheat or my high top red vans
Last I remember the observation tower was mostly a wind or staffing problematic thing I remember it being open last time I went but that was 2 (? I don't remember how long ago exactly) tears ago ish last I remember it was still operational
When I rode it, it was absolutely horrid, the restraints "padding" was less there to protect me but more to harm me. I got thrashed around so much and the fact that it was a Vekoma SLC didn't help.
regardless of how shitty it is, the mind eraser was my best friend's first roller coaster and he fuckin loved it lmao (prolly because of the fact that it was his first)
This is my home park.... unfortunately. All the rides are generic, and there hasn’t been a new coaster in years. I would kill for an RMC conversion on Twister II
I was born and raised in denver co, HATE this park, we haven't had a great roller coaster in years..my husband took me to cedar point this year for my birthday and that was an awesome park, LOVED IT, when we got back elitch gardens looked so dumb and I was disgusted by it cause it's been the same since they moved it there. Now we have 3 swing rides really?? I wish cedar fair would buy out elitchs and get it together
dude ok, I understand what you mean by the mind eraser by being rough but come on, the coaster was installed in the '90s (if my research is correct, basically its old-ish). mind eraser was my first rollercoaster and I loved it. I understand it's your opinion and I'm just sharing mine, I'm not dissing your video, just sharing my opinion
2:05 There is a almost similar model that is in wildwood,before they changed the track it was rough as shit,but then when they changed the track only the corkscrew was rough,all they need to do is change the tracks.
One day me and my friend went into the only timey candy store at 13:24 and it was empty so the people said if we could answer one question right they’d give us free candy😂😂 And I won us a free caramel apples. Everytime I go to Elitches I get something free 2 things I still have😌 And I’m going tomorrow too!
i live in denver and the reason the one side is missing (and ps ive had a season pass here for the last 4 years) and it broke down and over one season on the break they took it out completely
It's a shame you never got to see the "real" Elitch Gardens in its original location. It was cramped as hell, but had two classic woodies (ACE certified) and that local park atmosphere that is so rare these days. I lived two summers in Denver in the early 1990's and spent many a day there. The new location is nice-looking but also pretty generic and nothing special. I hope you also visited Lakeside Park while you were in Denver. It's much smaller but has loads of charm and one of the most unique wooden coasters in the country.
I Tried to go on the starflyer but while I was on it some person had to takeout their phone...can't u just leave your phone alone for just a ride they stopped the ride and made all of us get off
HAHAHAHA That is not a spoon holder my friend... That is a dish for carding seeds or holding buds of cannabis, but, I guess you could hold a spoon in it too.
If they do, they should move the park somewhere on the outskirts of the city (maybe near the airport) where they'd have more land to work with for bigger and better coasters. Don't get me wrong, Twister 2 is one of my favorite woodies but being nestled between Pepsi Center, I-25, South Platte River, and the Auraria Campus makes it impossible for the park to grow.
possibly, unless it is far enough from it. For instance near Arapahoe Park which is close to E470 toll road (which would be a win/win for the county and the park).
I grew up with the old park at its original location at 38th and Tennyson. The new park is great, but it's lost the historical significance and charm that the old location had.
I totally agree with the mind eraser review it is my least favorite by far because I had a big migraine after it and I was super rough I would not ever recommend it
Mind Eraser definitely isn’t the best roller coaster ever, but it’s not the worst. It’s very fast and fun! I’ve never experienced getting thrown back and forth in my seat. Lots of people enjoy that ride and I don’t think you should ruin that for people planning on coming here in the future.
elitch gardens and wild adventures sort of fall to the same blunders that they have pretty good park atmospheres but all their roller coasters stink lol
Life of Trini He’s just saying that because he needs to say something other than “this ride is pretty smooth” and because he’s traveled the world just to go to theme parks. As he said near the beginning, he has travelled to England just for theme parks.
No he’s not This is my home park and Im one who loves rollercoasters, mind eraser is a horrible ride, the restraints are ATROCIOUS, Boomerang is fine (its just a boomerang), I quite like twister 2, Sidewinder is fine, brain drain is just a Larson loop, and half pipe is alright, The first time i went i was sad that it was my home park
This is my home park, I would agree with no main attraction roller coasters. With new management in place at Six Flags, and Six Flags considering buying their old parks, I do home Elitch Gardens is purchased by Six Flags.

CrimsonKnightDX six flags will probably throw in an S&S joker coaster and call it a day lol
AMagicProduction At this point. I'll take it! Haha!
CrimsonKnightDX I live here too
Six Flags does not offer "love" for the parks they purchased. The Six Flags chain has some of the trashiest parks out there.
Haha this is my cities park! You missed out on the water park though it's all included in your ticket!!
Elfosng I live in Pheniox I bin to Eilitch Gardens it's a fun place
Your awsome bro ʕ•ﻌ•ʔ
Great vid! I like to look at these tours and reviews
when me and my family went there the tower of doom kept breaking down, my mom got scared and didnt let us ride, i was kinda mad at the time but thinking back on it it was probably the better choice
There's a budweiser brewery an hour away so that's probably why there's two tabs for it. Also, Twister 2 established my hate of rollercoasters as a child.
yea I went here allready cause I live in colorado
I went to Colorado 13 hour drive and passed by elitch gardens, I went to Colorado to visit columbine high school in Littleton
YungGawd47 I live in Colorado! I go to elitches every year but I surprisingly haven't been to columbine...
Also
LOGANGGGGG
YungGawd47 .uk
Sorry brother got a hold of my phone
Columbine is still a working high school you cant just visit it. Obviously they dont want random people walking around.
I live in Colorado, and the GP here think that Mind Eraser is the best roller coaster ever... Everyone forgets about Sidewinder and Halfpipe :/
Ikr, everyone just raves about the mind eraser and how great it is. People even get mad at me for saying I don't like the ride
Jeremy Felker
You're not alone. I like the ride, but I can't ride on it. No matter how hard I try to keep my head in place, it moves back and forth on the sharp edges (just like it does for a sharp turn while riding in a car; if the driver goes too fast). It really kills my neck. So I don't ride it.
Twister ll is way better than Mind Eraser.
kathleen chambers go in the back, and FORCE your head into one of the corners.
So true
This is my home park and I also worked the rides here for two seasons. Elitches is a good park, it just needs a few more major improvements. Space is obviously a big one and there's been possible plans to build a parking garage to create more space for the park to grow.
Yeah that would be a good idea elitch gardens is also my home park and they need a thrill coaster desperately
The only other Arrow Shuttle Loop left in the word (besides Sidewinder here and Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach) is Diamondback at Frontier City.
I can say that Twister II sounds less like "straight death" for the 2018 season. Personally, I agree that Twister sounded really off last year.
Trenton Bless it was really bad and it’s rougher
This is my home park! I get season passes here every year!
I had a wierd dream that this park was horrible
I need to know from you guys what shoes should I take when I go there in the summer should I take the timberlands boots thats wheat or my high top red vans
Go red vans
In the Loop ok thank you:)
H
Last I remember the observation tower was mostly a wind or staffing problematic thing I remember it being open last time I went but that was 2 (? I don't remember how long ago exactly) tears ago ish last I remember it was still operational
at night the theme park is cool
I’m going to Elitches today we are on our way! I drove to Denver which is four hours away!
They might have just started that restriction on their kiddie coaster since I went to the park last year and had no problem getting on it.
bro i live in colorado and the minderaser is my favorite ride iv been to a lot of theam parks and the way it throws you around is what makes it fun
mtnbear people either love it, or hate it, and im in the first group
I don’t like it, the restraints are unbearable to me
When I rode it, it was absolutely horrid, the restraints "padding" was less there to protect me but more to harm me. I got thrashed around so much and the fact that it was a Vekoma SLC didn't help.
Aw yeah! Home park!
regardless of how shitty it is, the mind eraser was my best friend's first roller coaster and he fuckin loved it lmao (prolly because of the fact that it was his first)
An early June Thursday, and it's an hour-long wait for a Vekoma SLC. Not making me want to rush to this park.
LARSON LOOPER!!!
This is my home park.... unfortunately. All the rides are generic, and there hasn’t been a new coaster in years. I would kill for an RMC conversion on Twister II
Hopefully it will be called Twisted lll :)
They need at LEAST a GCI/Gravity Group retracking... it’s getting really rough
I was born and raised in denver co, HATE this park, we haven't had a great roller coaster in years..my husband took me to cedar point this year for my birthday and that was an awesome park, LOVED IT, when we got back elitch gardens looked so dumb and I was disgusted by it cause it's been the same since they moved it there. Now we have 3 swing rides really?? I wish cedar fair would buy out elitchs and get it together
Seriously?
Who else heard that at tower of doom 😂 3:20
Six Flags and Elitch must have the save Merchandise company at 12:40 kinda coincidental.
I am moving to Denver in a month. Coming from Cincinnati where we have Kings Island. This park looks like a drag but im excited to experience it.
If you are going to go twice or more, get the season pass, after your second visit its free the rest of the season
I love this Theme and Water park!
dude ok, I understand what you mean by the mind eraser by being rough but come on, the coaster was installed in the '90s (if my research is correct, basically its old-ish). mind eraser was my first rollercoaster and I loved it. I understand it's your opinion and I'm just sharing mine, I'm not dissing your video, just sharing my opinion
You are just making the park look bad i love it
My home park! My favorite rides are Tower of doom, Boomerang, Mind eraser, Brain drain, twister ll and half pipe
this guy is saying how great denver is but im like boring ive lived here since ive been 3
FridgeBrotatoes probably not as bad as the springs
I love this park
They should call it concrete garden
Barbara Mahoney why?
haha true
hey remember when Elich Gardens actually had a garden in it?
This is not the original eliches. It was Elich Gardens. They moved it where it is now. What a shame.
Who hoo I love the half pipe
2:05 There is a almost similar model that is in wildwood,before they changed the track it was rough as shit,but then when they changed the track only the corkscrew was rough,all they need to do is change the tracks.
I LIVE IN COLORADO AND WENT TO ELITCH GARDENS YESTERDAY
One day me and my friend went into the only timey candy store at 13:24 and it was empty so the people said if we could answer one question right they’d give us free candy😂😂 And I won us a free caramel apples. Everytime I go to Elitches I get something free 2 things I still have😌 And I’m going tomorrow too!
It's an Intamin 2nd Gen drop tower, the 1st Gen is like ToT (I don't remember where it is but it's outside the USA)
i live in denver and the reason the one side is missing (and ps ive had a season pass here for the last 4 years) and it broke down and over one season on the break they took it out completely
I live an hour away from there.
Did they just move the rides? The boomerang looks like it did in the 80s, and so does the twister. That would be frightening lol.
It's a shame you never got to see the "real" Elitch Gardens in its original location. It was cramped as hell, but had two classic woodies (ACE certified) and that local park atmosphere that is so rare these days. I lived two summers in Denver in the early 1990's and spent many a day there. The new location is nice-looking but also pretty generic and nothing special. I hope you also visited Lakeside Park while you were in Denver. It's much smaller but has loads of charm and one of the most unique wooden coasters in the country.
I been here earlier this year in June I think and the rides are a lot faster then they appear
Ahem last year
Hometown park for me
I've been to two of the CNL parks, how does this one compare to Frontier City in Oklahoma?
+Themeparkguy I have never been to Frontier City so I couldn't say
In the Loop Thanks, from the looks of it I would have to rate this above Frontier City and then Magic Springs.
I'm in the video !
Why did Larson loopers become popular with big amusement parks? I used to see them a lot at carnival's and state fair's.
I am guessing because they are inexpensive & take up a small amount of space
I Tried to go on the starflyer but while I was on it some person had to takeout their phone...can't u just leave your phone alone for just a ride they stopped the ride and made all of us get off
The coasters look so slow on camera but go so fast in person
The half pipe is the best ride there!
HAHAHAHA That is not a spoon holder my friend... That is a dish for carding seeds or holding buds of cannabis, but, I guess you could hold a spoon in it too.
I love fun spot in florida I went this summer during hurricane season lol
Mr.Twister at old elitches was the sh!#!!!!!
I live in Denver and mind eraser is awesome!
I like how everyone that sees this video lives in Denver
Should have seen "Showstoppers."
I live in Colorado, and i TOTALY disagree with his opinion on the mind eraser, its by FAR the best ride at elitches!
15:33 They should sell off that SLC and put in a RMC Raptor.
I went to ghost busters you shoot the red dots to get points
I'm going to elites
I've never been to that theme park in coldrodo
Lol he said like 3 rides were his favorites rides at the park.
Tower of doom is technically a second-gen Giant Drop.
This park was better when 6 flags owner it
I agree, the park has kinda gone down hill but I still get my season pass, plus I really enjoy the water park
honestly from what I have heard from my parents the old location was way better.
We have the Revolution at Blackpool pleasure beach it's actually really forcefull
they should rmc twister 2
i went to Elitch's yesterday..
Six flags repurchasing this park in the future????
shane brown This park single handedly lost Six Flags a boatload of money. That is why they sold it.
Chad Ochman yeah but six flags is thinking about re purchasing the park
If they do, they should move the park somewhere on the outskirts of the city (maybe near the airport) where they'd have more land to work with for bigger and better coasters. Don't get me wrong, Twister 2 is one of my favorite woodies but being nestled between Pepsi Center, I-25, South Platte River, and the Auraria Campus makes it impossible for the park to grow.
Chad Ochman yeah but if they move it near the airport it would have a hight limit
possibly, unless it is far enough from it. For instance near Arapahoe Park which is close to E470 toll road (which would be a win/win for the county and the park).
is the any water rides
+Quentin Bonjour yes there was a shoot the chutes ride and there was also a rapids ride (both were closed during my visit)
is there any rides that you haven't seen is only water park and that it
yup
I grew up with the old park at its original location at 38th and Tennyson. The new park is great, but it's lost the historical significance and charm that the old location had.
I thought the mind eraser at Elitches gardens was the smoothest one
Connor Feezel it is
Smother than Twister 2, thats for damn sure
Mindbender sounds like it's similar to Raptor at Cedar Point...
That was great! But Idk if I wanna go next year for my bday. The coasters are very small and few.
I work there
I totally agree with the mind eraser review it is my least favorite by far because I had a big migraine after it and I was super rough I would not ever recommend it
rip ghost blasters :'(
Mind Eraser definitely isn’t the best roller coaster ever, but it’s not the worst. It’s very fast and fun! I’ve never experienced getting thrown back and forth in my seat. Lots of people enjoy that ride and I don’t think you should ruin that for people planning on coming here in the future.
But the thing is, you’ve never been thrown around on a ride because YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BE! This is my home park btw
I heard some Twenty One Piolots :))))
Craig Zorzy ME TOO I ALMOST DIED
Craig Zorzy my profile picture ;)
I love TØP!
I been in the bumdereng
3:40 Lightning with in 10 miles
lightning in 10 miles
Not the best six flags or theme park been to better but I had child memories since this was my first roller coaster
does Sea World own this park?
+Epicoaster Dragoneater no
In the Loop just wondering because of the Hershey Pennsylvania poster.
Premier Parks, LLC Ownes it.
Mother nature plz turn warm back on
elitch gardens and wild adventures sort of fall to the same blunders that they have pretty good park atmospheres but all their roller coasters stink lol
U said mind eraser is ruff go to magic mountain
Mind Eraser is rougher than any coaster at Magic Mountain
In the Loop no Goliath and twisted colored are way rougher than mind eraser
Also tatsu ,toddlers revenge ,Batman,and more
The mind eraser and all the other rides are the best he's lying and he's over exaggerating
Life of Trini
He’s just saying that because he needs to say something other than “this ride is pretty smooth” and because he’s traveled the world just to go to theme parks. As he said near the beginning, he has travelled to England just for theme parks.

Drue Garrett no your not
