It’s October! We all Know What That Means! Right?
Oct 2nd
Picture of Me from Brutal Planet
Yup, Brutal Planet starts tomorrow night! This will be my 11th season working for the famous Denver house. I started orientation last night as for the first time I will be inside the house, not running the tickets! I got to tour the house and this could be the best year for the house!
I hope that you can all make it out and enjoy the spooks! I believe that the house is still $5 after gate admission, but at least that went down this year to $36.99, but there are plenty of places to get discount tickets, like online and King Soopers! We have two haunted houses this year again, but the new Ghost Blasters interactive haunted house is finally open as well. As always, kiddieland is having their trick or treat trail for the little ones.
Happy October everyone!
Elitch’s Set To Make Improvements!
Mar 24th
According to this article from 9News.com, the New Elitch Gardens is set to make some drastic improvements for this season!
The biggest and best decision in my mind is the admission price drop! The new price for admission will be $34.99 down from $44.99, also dropping is parking down to $10 from $15. The constant raise in prices is one of the reason that I feel Six Flags really was hurting Elitch Gardens. That price was just too high for such a small park!
Other improvements this year include a new dark ride called Ghost Blasters, where you ride in a car with a gun shooting at moving targets, kind of like the old shooting galleries, just this version you are moving! It’s been at least 20 years since Elitch’s got rid of The Haunted House at the old park, it was always one of my favorites. This will be an 8000 sq. ft Haunted House ride. They will be having a summer concert series this year with performers like Billy Ray Cyrus and Smash Mouth.
Sounds like Parc Management has finally allowed them to make some great decisions to help bring people back to Elitch Gardens!
Matt2′s Bachelor Party in Orlando
Feb 27th
Last week my friend Matt2 had his bachelor party down in Florida. A fun time was had by all… Here is a video montage tribute to the fun we had in the rain and sun. It is a large file, so it might take a while to play, and requires quicktime.
The New Elitch Gardens!
Apr 10th
As of last Friday, it is finally offical! The New Elitch Gardens will be opening on April 28th, 2007! Finally out from under the grips of Six Flags, they are making efforts to return to it’s family park origins!
They have the starts of their new website up at elitchgardens.com. While I am thrilled that they are still around, I am rather disappointed the new owners didn’t feel a price drop was in order for admission. However, anyone wanting to go, you can save $10 by purchasing right from their website! That’s at least good news.
Stripped of the Looney Tunes and Justice League characters, it will be interested to see what they bring this year. Early rumors around the web say a BMX Stunt Show will be replacing the Batman Stunt Show. A Cirque style show is to be making it’s premier in the Trocodero. There is supposed to be a press release today announcing all the new attractions coming for the 2007 season.
UPDATE: Here is an official press release from 9news. As predicted the two shows will be coming, as well as the return of Carnival De Fuego. They will also be getting a new waterslide.

Mar 5th
Here is a new RCT3 movie I made this weekend. I got a little more expirimental with this one, so it’s not just a straight forward point of view ride. 
Enjoy!
