i went there when i was kid..every year's ..it was long time a go..
from: south korea :)
I did too but I am from Russia
Twister 2 will most likely be destroyed but they will hopefully be carrying the tradition of making a new twister called Twister 3
ekurtisc wow really then ig i should go more often 😂😂
ekurtisc that thumbnail had me dying nigga 😭💀
Why don't they call it Twister 2.5? This video is awful. Shot by a child? More people will throw up watching this, than any Coaster could!!
They can make an RMC Hybrid called "Metallic Twister".
ekurtisc I’m not sure if there will be a twister 3
I love that the first thing you do is appreciate the quality and detail of the carousel. Love it.
I'm from Colorado and I never heard that elitches will close 😭😭
It's just moving closer to the airport
It's TRUE. Kroenke owns land. Building massive multipurpose development. Park will be moved out east towards airport.
@@amusementparklovers3611 Kroenke you mean that dishonest businessman who owns the LA Rams?
@drf81 Yes. He owns the Pepsi Center, the Nuggets, the Mammoth, the Avs, the Rapids, and Elitch's.
@@gooseincitypark omg us rapids fans are not happy w that man for being so cheap and not having the rapids stadium downtown. I hope elitchs gets renovated one day bc I’ve heard that it still looks like nothing has changed since the six flags ownership (the one before Kroenke). Also kroenke owns altitude sports so imagine a near monopoly in Denver. He also is part owner of the River mile development that’s replacing the run down elitchs. He even approved the project without a doubt in his mind. Hopefully when they move by DIA it’s renovated and operations run smoother than they have. Lots of ppl have rated this park as one of the worst in America and also the utmost worst in Ameica
I as an employee of the park you 2 speak of , I totally love it and it tops Lakeside any given day. I've been to Lakeside back on July 11,1990 and I was highly disappointed in it. I've been a huge die hard of ELITCH GARDENS. I personally want nothing happen to them . ELITCH GARDENS is then , now and Forever!!!!
Vivian Vigil why were you disappointed in lakeside?
This place looks fab, we have an Arrow shuttle here in the UK and it’s great to see that there are ones in other locations too. Cheers
it's really sad that they are relocating because me and my family love the area since it's right next to coors field (rockies baseball field) we are big fans of the rockies and the park and love to ride a few rides at elitches and walk to the game since we have season passes and free parking. plus it's a great view of the mountains and city ☹️
Heidie Beisner awww me tooo!!! You live in Denver?
Heidie Beisner when now
Me too!!
Fuckinghatetrumpandtrumpets acab im sad that they are re locating too. When i used to go there i liked looking at the mountains and the city. What rides did you ride before you went to the Rockies game? They are re locating towards the airport
This is my home park I hope they move not close
Same man
Exactly me too
There moving
Moving near airport
Same here. It’s very nostalgic to me even if others not from colorado say this is the worst park in America, and they’re not delusional for that as kroenke is too cheap to renovate and distinguish it from the six flags ownership days that came before his ownership
I understand that the ground is valuable real estate, but you take away the park and you take away one of the reasons that Denver is a vacation destination for a lot of families. There is value in the entertainment which Elitch provides to that same area.
Insah the same thing whether you live in Colorado or not. Elitchs will always be missed once it’s moved due to it being downtown and it being the only downtown amusement park in America. Also while lots say our park is the worst in America, us Coloradans will always live the park and the views
@@isiahpaskins as a Coloradoan I 100% agree with you, I spent a whole summer at this place, and the pain I'll feel when its gone is just terrifying
@@jaydentjahyadi I’m a colorodoan too. I have been to elitches and I love the water park
@@isiahpaskins is elitches being moved to a different location or is it being torn down forever?
@@samanthamartin9254 it’s gonna be moved to a location by the airport. Let’s say either bw where the rapids play and the airport or somewhere along E470 which is how I get to the airport. I will miss it being in Denver as I could take the light rail there but I do see what’s coming and the benefits of the park being moved to a more open location. Hopefully they keep the top rides and slides at least bc those serve the park well. And then they can create new ones bc Elitchs needs renovations as it hasn’t been renovated since early 2000s and ppl exposed it for being old.
you made me look at this park so much differently when i go!
How differently do you look at the park now
The park will totally be relocated. It's operated by a large amusement company. The land that is being used for the redevelopment was owned by the Kroenke Company, not leased from the city. Kroenke or Premier could sue the city government for the money that the land is worth. The city is likely to settle since if they decide to take it to higher courts, they are more likely to lose more money since the higher courts are not in favor of eminent domain for public use. Either way, they will get a large sum of money that they could use to start a new park. Plus they have plenty of assets in the current park that could either be reused in a new park, or auctioned off to fund the new park. Elitch is a household name in Denver, one of the largest cities in America, and already has a large local fan base that could support a new park. Any smart company would just relocate the park, especially with some of the newest investments into the park, especially the waterpark. Whereas they could sell the newest waterpark additions for a quarter of what they paid to install them, they could relocate them for a fraction of what they would've made selling it, but the attraction would still draw in guests. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
You talk too much bro
Thanks for the ted talk. I agree people will come. We’ve been conditioned to love the park and it’s so nostalgic. It would be especially great if they move it out by the airport bc then it’ll still be easy to drive to. That’s one of the reasons we’re gonna miss the downtown location: it was easy to get to whether you drove or you took the RTD to get there. I hope that when they move they get rid of twister 2 bc it’s out of shape and I hope to see more newer rides at the park. I think they’ve done good with the water park portion of the park. I hope they keep the entire park outside of twister 2
@@rickyticky3350 Not true. Elias Mertens isn’t talking to much. He or she is just giving a point and telling the truth about what’s gonna happen to elitches
@@isiahpaskins you are so right. They should add newer rides
I really do hope once it relocates cedar fair will buy the park or at least six flags because the owners are just neglecting it
I get to visit this Thursday for my field trip and so excited. I'm really upset that they are relocating
@Spooky Boi I'm not sure what you mean lol
@Spooky Boi yea
@Spooky Boi Shaw heights wbu
@Spooky Boi oh
I went there on a field trip that day too
They aren’t closing they’re just MOVING. But I loved it being in downtown.
Me too. It was always easy to get to. You could either drive there or take the RTD there. Also there were already stadiums around it and next to it that we already knew how to get to in the first place. I hear they’re moving out by the airport which is good bc we all know how to get to the airport. Also elitchs was a popular tourist location so if people see it when landing at the airport they’re gonna want to go there. Also the support elitchs gets in Denver is so big that a relocation will always be supported heavily and with unconditional love
@@isiahpaskins I believe that they are moving out by the airport. I wonder if the gift shops are relocating too. Everyone who lives on Colorado knows how to get to the airport
Yaell Urrunaga i loved it being in downtown too. They might be moving towards the airport
Knobels Twister design was taken from the Original Mr. Twister at the old Elitch Gardens. The original was built in 1965. This new twister was built from Scratch in 1995 when the park moved from West Denver to Downtown Denver. Elitches sold the blueprints of the Original Old Twister to Knobels and they rebuilt it but made it a mirror image with a double lift hill. The Original Mr. Twister in West Denver was once ranked the 3rd greatest coaster in America!
Relax ppl there moving it by the airport where there's alot of open land. Well not close to the airport but around those areas.
Honestly I live by the airport and I’m pissed by it. I enjoy the open space !
That’s good. Do you know where you saw the story of that being the place because I would love to read it. I’ve been interested on the topic of elitchs since finding out it’s relocating. I’m glad it’s moving by the airport bc the airport is already easy to get to just like how elitchs was easy to get to bc it’s right next to Pepsi center and across from the broncos stadium
@@1945joshuaruiz why are you pissed by it?
Ricky Ticky they arent closing. They are moving out by the airport
@@isiahpaskins wasnt the rockies stadium a block from elitches?
I know that they won’t close anytime soon but when Elitches does close, it’s gonna feel like I lost a piece of my childhood.
Same here. I loved how it was downtown so i wouldn’t have to travel to a totally different part of colorado to get there like Loveland or Colorado Springs. Also it was so easy to get to and it’s downtown so you got to see the stadiums and the skyline. Also they know how to make a child have fun. I love this park and I’m glad ITS RELOCATING BY THE AIRPORT bc it’ll still be easy to get to and there’s a bunch of open space out there
Madisyn Deidel they arent closing. They might be moving closer to the airport
The rumor is they're going to try to move locations again and reopen on another plot of land but twister 2 may not be relocated with the park.
Reopening in Aurora CO
Welp, time for twister III 😂
Twister 2 needs to be decommissioned. It's in very rough condition. The lake side coaster is in better shape after they put some serious time in it over the last couple years
@@khalskywalker1478 what makes you say that it’s coming out to Aurora, Co?
@@isiahpaskins Aurora, CO does get close to the Denver International Airport which somewhere around there is rumored to be the third location of Elitch Gardens.
You guys were right about the entrance being meant for a carousel. Originally the gift shop in the center was meant to house the carousel to protect it from the Colorado elements but when Six Flags acquired the park in the late 1990’s, they moved it outside, this making the entrance building very awkward and seemingly poorly designed.
Josh C was the layout of the park poorly designed or just the entrance?
@@samanthamartin9254 I’d say the entrance is weirder than the park layout, but both are not that great in terms of design.
@@Ferris1986 what's weird about it it's just a layout
We used to go every summer. Damn, I miss that park so much. So many great memories made.
It’s…..open
@@IsabelleMcFive-xc9pp and we stopped going cus we grew up
Lets play a game: Chug a beer for every time the Legend interrupts Hyde.
“Cedar Point bought Six Flags”. It’s like Hyde knew it all along. Hyde predicting the future.
I'm about to film a vlog there saturday. Excited
I’m going there tomorrow, I wanted a sneak peek. Looks awesome!
I just bought my 2020 season pass, I'm so excited, I've lived here my whole life and just became interested in coasters and amusement park history until the past 2 years. I figured I needed to buy one this year before they're gone forever, I'm pumped and want to take some videos to upload about some of the history of Elitch Gardens.
Del Anderson they wont be gone forever they are moving over by the airport
@@samanthamartin9254 it's still in a developing phase, so it's gonna take another decade before full demolition starts
I live in Colorado I just read that it won't be closed for a long time for redevelopment but if it is they'll just relocate it somewhere else in Denver
I live In colorado too. I heard it’s moving out by the airport
David Johnson i heard it might be relocated towards the airport. However,I also lived in colorado but now i live in texas
The big empty area by the bridge is the run off area for disaster canyon and shipwreck. At the end of the year that were the water drains to
The sidewinder is one of my favorite rides there but it never seems to be open. Are the permanently shutting it down? Does anyone know?
EpicLemur no I went about a month ago and it was open I road it 5 times
EpicLemur they arent permanently shutting down. They are moving closer to the airport
I don’t live in Colorado but it was my favorite park ever when I was a kid so it’s sad that it’s going to be closing :(
It’s not closing it’s moving by the airport
The Mouseketeers they arent closing. They are moving by the airport
LETS GOOOO!!! IM SO HYPED YOU DIDNT TRIP!!! GOOD SHIT!!!
I'll be in Denver in August. I'd love to visit!
Just move down here
This place looks so differnt than i remember but in a good way
a comment from not long ago pog
Preforming with my band here then we get to go on the rides only a 2 hour drive away hope it will be fun
Nicole Pnie what band are you in?
The imfamous "they" are always Elitches is going to close. I'll believe it when I see it.
Same here. The plan is to move it out by the airport since they’re isn’t a spot downtown to move it to
When they said that elitches would be closing I think they ment moving because the place where eliches is now is valuable land
Maiya Trujillo I think they are moving over by DIA

This park is my home and I don’t want it to close or move :’(
Same here. I hear it’s moving by the airport
Jacob Wood they arent closing they are moving by the airport
I’ve been going to Elitches since I was tiny. And I’m just now realizing that the free fall ride is pronounced “accelerator”😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I always just thought you called it “X L R 8 L”
That Hollywood and vine one is open like twice the whole season I live in Denver so yea
If a new Elitch theme park is built in the Denver area, I think most of the rides will be moved over but Twister 2, the Observation Tower, Disaster Canyon, and Shipwreck Falls aren't likely to make it over and Mind Eraser doesn't deserve to make it over. The new rides that can continue their roles are an RMC Hybrid called either "Metallic Twister", "Metal Twister", or "Steel Twister", a Vekoma STC called "Mind Revision", a Mack PowerSplash called "The Shipwrecker", and a modern river rapids rides using the boats from Disaster Canyon. They could also later add in an RMC Raptor as well. Another commenter posted that they could put it near the airport which I think is a perfect location (that airport is going to be my layover if my trip to Yellowstone in tommorow if it doesn't get cancelled). If Elitch Gardens decides to not keep Sidewinder then I hope either Knoebels Amusement Resort in Pennsylvania or Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho buys it.
If the park is closing, what will be replacing it?
Mixed use space with 8,000 residential units
They’re moving by the airport
I swear the half pipe is soo scary
Uravity I agree
First ride to make me scream
Yeah it’s scar af
They aren't closing there moving
That's always been where the Merrygoround has been. New park opened 1995
My god I haven’t been there in years
It's called mile high stadium and Pepsi center it was sports authority but it closed in Colorado so it cost 1,000,000 dollars to change it.
Missing this place right now
I’m going here tommorrow 😂
We want there this morning
Im going there tomorrow no joke
GoldenNinja3D I’m going there today
Im going today!!
I hear all the coasters are rough. I don't do well with rough coasters (migraines - yay for middle age) but we will be flying into Denver during the 2020 season, and other than glenwood caverns there are no other parks to hit anywhere in the area.
Christian Delane im not a fan of rollercoasters but whenever i would ride one i would get a headache. Are all of the rollercoasters at elitches rough?
Mind eraser is rough and painful, twister 2 is shaky but not painful, boomerang has a little shake but if you're prepared it's completely fine. The left side of half pipe is rougher than the right side, but if you hold back your head its fine. Sidewinder is as smooth as it gets.
Somebody puked when we were riding the star fly thing.... at least the guy puked when we got off
Imagine if he puked while on the ride and while upside down or whatever
@@isiahpaskins i can imagine that too
- what wouldve happened if the guy puked on the ride? Did you tell the employee operating the ride?
is that park still open? i never Ben there before. is that park any good?
It is still open, but definitely not one of the better parks in the country
Oh wow I love this Park not to big but not to small either,and is alive plenty of good music all over the place and plenty of beer,but It is a really nice park,that's to bad is closing,like u guys said at the entrance it reminds you of Disney parks,and also it reminded me of Knott's Berry Farm too in a way,so it has a little bit of alot of this parks,but it is to bad is closing.
Armando Fernandez its not closing. Its moving over by the airport
Might go to Denver for a couple days. Planning meow wolf and a water park.. whats better this place or water world
Water world
@@IntheLoopPodcast thank you
I worked at this park in 2005. I wonder how much my daughters brand new six flags Elitch Gardens letterman’s jacket will go for.
The observation tower is never open
I wonder why
Crystal Wunderlich i am wondering why too
I'm going here tomarrow
We should just take elitch gardens and push it somewhere else
It’s moving out by the airport
DH productions its moving out by the airport
I live in colorado
Me too!
Who else is from Colorado and there is also lakeside
They will be closing only temp. they will reopen out east by Denver international airport a couple years after closing this location due to development
Oh even closer to me
The Lingerers they are moving out by the airport
@@samanthamartin9254 that's literally what I typed.
I have a choir concert there on the 18th -
State competition, right? I remember doing those when I was in middle school band! The Elitch Gardens trip was the highlight of our year, we'd hop on the bus for 8 hours, get a hotel room to ourselves, and then get almost an entire day at the park to ourselves. Enjoy it, my dude.
@@TehInternetScum yeah and thanks !
Do they always play country music? Because I LOVE country music!! In most places they play pop.......
Not sure on that one
Not always, no. They tend to play country over by the food court building but everywhere else I always hear pop music.
PistolDawn i love the pop music that they play
It’s so stupid they are moving the park. It sucks that in our world everyone only thinks of money. They will probably turn that property into more condos so more people from California can move in. It’s so sad that this wonderful place I grew up going to is moving from such a wonderful location.
Ima miss it too
That's the location of the 3 Ninja's high noon at mega mountain in 1990's
Best news ever that they are relocating. The location is just awful, one of the worst I've ever seen. They need to move out somewhere more rural where they can have a lot more land to play with.
vio2112 YEAH! They can also move their Twister 2 as well and maybe Six Flags can acquire the park to include a variety of different attractions to the already existing park!
OH yea like bolder will be better
But the problem is that they have been known for being first and still the only theme and water park in the USA that is in a downtown area.
I hear they’re moving by the airport
Vio2112 they are moving by the airport
I went there
This a far cry from the original park
It didn’t shut down
Woww they got rid of sooo many flat rides!! Where’s chaos
shake rattle and roll
break dance model
So sad 😞
Yea I know that
Lol ot didn’t close down
they anounced there moving
NelsonStrubbe Family When? I haven’t heard anything?
@@charliefandre in a long time from now. It’ll be moved by the airport
Dude, the camera work....it’s dizzing
Ah Elitch...I don’t mean to rag on it but it’s my least favorite park I’ve been too. An ok collection of flat rides but the coasters...oof. When the best coaster out of 6 is an old Arrow shuttle loop, things are gonna be tough. I get they were tight in space but there were better options too. Hopefully they can relocate and add some more signature rides. At least Denver still has Lakeside, I’d rather go there anyway over the current Elitch.
The original Park was so much better...this new Elitches has no character!
Explain further for me
Tim M. Explain Further
NEVER GO ON MIND ERASER!!! It isn't the tallest coaster there and is an SLC
Alex whats wrong with mind eraser? Whats an SLC
Visit now, won’t exist for much longer
Moving by the airport
@@isiahpaskinshow’s that working out?
It's so damn ghetto and gross now it's not even fun. Half the rides are always broken the employees are rude and last time I went they had maintenance scoop human shit off the twister
blue skull 552 what did the employees say or do to be rude to you? Also how is the park ghetto and gross. Im curious to know as to why someone took a shit on the twister
@@samanthamartin9254 haven't been there in a while now since I moved from Colorado but when I was there the place was dirty, the employees always had a mood if you asked them questions, the pool water is always dirty and either nothing is ever open or it's closed for maintenance. As far as the human shit goes I don't even got a clue on how they managed to do it but you could definitely smell/see what the maintenance was cleaning up and they were saying it was human waste. Even the water fountain water was dirty green. Mabye it's gotten better though but cant say for sure.
the park is move to new theme park news take to pr
Moving to the airport I’ve heard
No there's just masks 😭
First Comment, First View, First Like
I have been to over 50 theme parks and by far this is the worst park I have even been to. Just about all the rides are rough, uncomfortable, painful, and bang your head up. Your park is only as good as your rides. If your rides suck, your park sucks.
