Cross Process Velvia?

I've been hearing about the color saturation that Velvia produces.  Is
the saturation still present if you were to process it as slide film?

What are the results if you processed Velvia as slide film versus
processing it as negative film?

Velvia IS a slide film.

But it uses, IIRC, the same processing as print film. The OP wants to
know what'll happen if he uses slide processing (E6?).

Unfortunately, you don't recall corectly. Fuji's PDF on their site says E-6
or the fuji equivalent CR-56.
If you cross process it in colour neg chemicals:-

1)    you probably won't get an orange mask as there isn't a layer that has
that function.
2)    It'll probably be a lot less saturated as coulour neg is meant to be
lower contrast so the developer is softer working.

Not a lot of point really.

Ok, this is slide-film (E-6) processed in E-6 (same as CR-56):

and this is how it looks when the film was processed in C-41 chemicals:

And if you want to take the C-41-processed film as a negative and see
how a positive would look like please download it, open in Photoshop and
press 'crtl + i'.

You do not recall correctly!  

Velvia is a reversal film that uses the standard E6 chemistry.  Cross
processing would mean developing it in C41 chemicals.
