Six Flags Elitch Gardens

07/19/2006 Posted by bensharn

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

This place should not be called Elitch Gardens. The old Elitch site was much more relaxing and was actually true to its name of containing gardens. It was a veritable landscape of flowers and trees. This new place bearing its name, however, could hardly be called anything but a concrete jungle. The lines are too long, it is hot, everything is EXTREMELY over priced (8 bucks for a cup of pepsi?), and it doesn't share the community that the old Elitch Gardens offered. With the old Elitches, families could bring picnics, you could catch a play at the historic Elitch playhouse, parking didn't cost anything (at the new Six Flags Elitch Gardens you pay for parking in addition to nearly 40 dollar admission fee), and it wasn't located in the heart of a smelly, loud industrial area.

Pros: convenient hours, hosts a water park, located on bus route

Cons: Amazingly overpriced, Very poor location, too many hidden costs

Average pretty much sums up the Six Flags of Denver. I pretty much refuse to call it Elich Gardens any more because that name no longer fits what its become. It used to be in a great location, lots of trees, plants, great layout. Very relaxing and FUN place to go and at not a bad price. Ever since the move the atmosphere of the now Six Flags has changed to barren, HOT, and extremely overpriced. It may have a few new rides but its not worth it to me to lose everything about it that made it good for a couple of new coasters.

Pros: Couple New Coasters

Cons: Poor Location, Very few plants, Way Overpriced

Great fun for kids. Expensive, but you can plan around that... Keep food in a cooler in the car and eat you lunch outside the park. Even if you can afford the food - it sucks. Bring your own water in the park. Go to the water park first - it sometimes rains in the afternoon in Denver. Beware - Six Flags takes no responsibility for bad weather.

Pros: Good for kids

Cons: Crowds, Food

Too expensive for what you get. Food ,drink prices are way out of line too. Could improve by expanding water park and allowing snacks to be brought in.

My kids love the place, I think it's just so-so. Some fun coaster rides, but not enough to do for little kids. The food prices are ridiculous - truly highway robbery. I thought Worlds of Fun in Kansas City was much better.

Pros: It's in town, Close parking, Good coasters

Cons: Pricey concessions, Few rides 4 under 48"
