Formerly Six Flags Elitch Gardens. Colorado's largest theme park Elitch Gardens has more than 45 rides, shows and attractions including seven roller coasters. The original Elitch Gardens closed after the 1994 season and the park minus its two famous wooden roller coasters was moved to its present location in downtown Denver. Fortunately, some icons from the original amusement park were saved like the Antique Carousel built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company. The Carousel has been giving rides to Elitch Gardens' guests since 1928. Also included with park admission is entry into Island Kingdom Water Park complete with a lazy river, wave pool and water slides to cool off on warm days. Elitch Gardens theme park and Island Kingdom water park is located off I-25, exit 212A Speer Blvd. South.

In April 2007, Six Flags completed the sale of the park to a new operator and Elitch Gardens dropped the Six Flags name.
