Goliath513 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 This will be great for the water park and the big crowds all summer. I like how it extends the ride time of a bowl slide, which is already awesome on its own but over too soon. It will be built next to Tube Top and is replacing one of the pavilions. A new water slide should hold over the water park for a few years so the rides side can get some more attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What an awesome looking slide!! However... Slidezilla??? I don't know if I want to laugh or love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhman93 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 looks nice, hopefully go across the rest of the cf water parks Elitch is not a Cedar Fair park. It was sold off along with Wild Waves, Darien Lake and a few waterparks by Six Flags in 06 and is now managed by one of the old Six Flags/Premier executives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midgetman82 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm not crazy for the bowl,but those slide walls are amzing! Also, that's prbably one of the best slide names ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nswain1110 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Took a stroll along the Platte on my lunch break today and spotted vertical construction for Slidezilla. As soon as this rain calms down, they should have it up pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenbowl Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Is there anything you guys want to know. I work at EG and I'm higher up than most of the other employees. Yeah, when are you guys going to add a new coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGCoasterGuy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Why was the edge removed? Another park of ours needed a ride addition and slidezilla has some similar aspects so corporate decided to send edge away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGCoasterGuy Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Original plan was to have Slidezilla open by Memorial Day, however due to the weather issues lately it may pushed back until about June 2nd. We are still shooting for this weekend, but it may be a pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronWolfman Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah, the weather must be incredibly difficult to work with and has to be hampering attendance and ridership as well. Pray it clears up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the rain and snow isn't too much of an issue, but it seems we lose several hours a day with lightening closures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping that "major thrill ride" to go there would be next year. That would be the perfect spot for a Chance Hyper GT-X since the park could really use some good airtime. Why was the edge removed? Another park of ours needed a ride addition and slidezilla has some similar aspects so corporate decided to send edge away. Darien Lake's 2016 project?

The talk was to send it down the eastern access road south and turn back by the bone yard. As far as edge goes I don't know where it went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
