Tombstone Tumbler is a steel roller coaster located at Elitch Gardens in Denver, Colorado. It was one of the rides moved from the original Elitch Gardens, where it first opened in 1960. The ride reopened on May 27, 1995 under the name Wild Kitten. The Wild Kitten name would stick around with the ride until the park added the Looney Tunes Movie Town addition in 1999, where the attraction was renamed Great Chase. In 2007, when PARC Management bought the park from Six Flags, Warner Bros. properties had to be removed from the park. With the removal of the Looney Tunes theming, the ride was renamed to Tombstone Tumbler.

[edit] Ride

This is a simple junior roller coaster with a single lift hill and several small bunny hills laid out in an oval. The train circuits this simplistic layout three times.
