Three New Rides to Open at Elitch Gardens Theme

& Water Park in 2012

Update : 18/03/12 - 21h56 Published by François Mayné the 17 March 2012, New.
Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park announced that three new rides will open this summer. The water park will add a new water slide called Tube Dro, while a fresh new look for the theme park’s KiddieLand will feature Rockin’ Tug and Tike Bikes, two new children’s rides. New custom-produced shows, that bring the audience into the act, also promise another season of exciting entertainment in downtown Denver.

Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park is adding not one, not two, but three new rides this year making 2012 the most exciting season in recent history,” said Tracy Durham, Elitch Gardens’ Director of Marketing. “We chose Tube Top, the awesome new water slide, to deliver high-octane excitement this summer while keeping things cool when the temperature is hot. Refreshing KiddieLand and adding two more new rides just for little ones gives families with small children something they can enjoy together.

Elitch Gardens' water park will add a ProSlide Family Tantrum: Tube DropTube Top, a wild purple and yellow family ProSlide Tantrum, will be the only ride of its kind in Colorado. Riding in 4-person cloverleaf shaped tubes, passengers will be drenched by 4,000 gallons (15 m³) of water as they spiral, twist and swirl through the action-packed enclosed slidethat features a double spiral, zero gravity funnel and vortex turn.

Families will be delighted to see the fresh, new look at Elitch Gardens’ KiddieLand. A colorful new entrance, brand new theater, and two new rides bring renewed excitement to the popular kids’ area which includes a total of 14 rides.

On the new Zamperla Rockin’ Tug, kids of all ages, and grown-ups too, will join in a sea-faring ride that simulates the gentle motion of ocean waves. Little hot-rods can also zoom around on Tike Bikes, a new motorcycle ride that gives kids the rush of the open road. Elitch Gardens will also debut a spectacular lineup of new shows this summer. 

Highlighting the immersive entertainment is “Cirque Innosta Verano,” a full 360-degree stage experience designed to dazzle guests and make them part of this unique show. Best-in-class performers will display acts of aerial artistry and amazing strength as they fold audience members into the kaleidoscope of intrigue. Kids will love seeing the HipHopsicals in “Rock School for Kids” where Johnny Rocket Pop and Darla Drumstick take their music and dance straight out into the audience. As the summer sun sets, Elitch Gardens’ new night show, “REFLECTIONS”, will light the sky with a spectacular wash of color, drama and special effects. 

Under new management by Herschend Family Entertainment last year, we were able to upgrade our standard of service and operational excellence while introducing outstanding new live shows,” said Rod Rankin, Elitch Gardens’ General Manager. “Guest reaction was incredibly positive leading our management team to invest both in phenomenal new live entertainment and three new rides. Our unwavering commitment to creating memories worth repeating is supported in 2012 with a dramatically enhanced overall park experience. It’s been years since downtown Denver has seen this many new reasons to celebrate family fun.
