We’re giving you a reason to smile even bigger this year, Denver! Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park are proud to announce three new rides that will open this summer. Tube Top, a twisting, twirling, totally-enclosed tube slide is going into Elitch Gardens’ water park while a fresh new look for the theme park’s KiddieLand will feature Rockin’ Tug and Tike Bikes, two new children’s rides.

Along with the three new rides, Elitch Gardens is also delivering new custom-produced shows that will bring the audience into the act—promising yet another season of exciting entertainment in downtown Denver.

And the best news yet – all rides and shows are free with park admission!

Without further ado, it’s time to announce the new rides and new shows coming to Elitch Gardens Theme and Water Park in 2012….drum roll please….

NEW RIDES:

Tube Top:

When the summer does heat up, thrill-seekers will race to Elitch Gardens to drop into the whirling excitement of Tube Top – the only ride of its kind in Colorado. Riding in 4-person cloverleaf shaped tubes, passengers on Tube Top will be drenched by 4,000 gallons of water as they spiral, twist and swirl through the action-packed enclosed slide that features a double spiral, zero gravity funnel and vortex turn. Once complete, the award-winning wild purple and yellow slide will be visible from I-25.

KiddieLand Rides:

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 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.

NEW LIVE SHOWS/ENTERTAINMENT:

Cirque Innosta Verano:

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.

Rock School for Kids:

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.

Reflections:

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.
