Editorial Review for Six Flags Elitch Gardens – by Lisa Traxler
In Short
This Denver theme park has been through many changes: Relocation, technological revamping and acquisition by a major amusement park corporation. But whatever the park may have lost in quaint charm, it has made up for in high-tech excitement. Looping roller coasters frame the city, and various towers can be seen for miles. There are more than 40 features on the grounds and they run the gamut from heart-stopping fright rides to relatively tame amusements.

When going to six flags, i recomened bringing your own water (unless your perpared to become an empty walet). I went on a tuesday. As soon as i arrived i was greated by a friendy array of employes. I then continuted throught the park to feast my eyes upon many one of a kind rides. The lines were very short. I enjoyed it very much.
Pros: good price on tickets, great rides, easy parking
Cons: hot weather, can put ride operation on halt

Very Expensive, especially the food. Highway robbery is the only way to say it. Simply ridiculous. If you haven't been there, you must go at least once. It is worthy of at least one visit, but after that its just average. Lines during the week aren't too bad. I suggest doing the rides in the morning (shorter lines) and the water park in the afternoon. BRING YOUR OWN WATER! At $3 a pop, water is too expensive to keep hydrated. Rides are pretty exciting. It is better than Lakeside (other theme park in Denver) but doesn't quite have the same family bonding theme. Seems to be very fast paced. Hard to relax with all the noise.
Pros: Mind Eraser, Water park, Location
Cons: EXPENSIVE, Parking, overrated
