The dark ride was never abandoned. It operated as a mine themed ride until quick draw was put in. The tower on soarin eagle is not repurposed. It came with the ride. Not sure if you assumed or if someone gave you bad info. The silver bullet also got parts from viper, but they didn’t swap out the train entirely. Just pieces. Nightmare is not in the building anymore. The building is completely empty of the coaster. The only portion that remains is what you see outside.
When did they shut down the nightmare ride? I know the last time I was on it was in the 90s sometime. It was always closed most of the time when I went there but there was one particular time we got to ride it.
The nightmare mine roller coaster used to be differint when it was build it wasn't in hotel bristol it was outside and fun fact the first roller coaster in frontier city but it wasn't called the nightmare mine it was called the orange blossom special
My oldest sister worked at the Pink Garder saloon in the 1960's . And she meet her husband Roger Niemela who also worked there who was a part time sheriff and gunfighter. Back then it was free to get into the park.
There’s a secret passage to get from one side to the other without walking around the parking using the old exit cue from nightmare. It’s usually blocked.
For better context, it’s the old cue line that connects to the back of the grand carousal to the exit of nightmare mine. You’ll walk directly under the lift for the log fume ride. The path is visible from google maps and it’s open on Halloween only.
I've rode the nightmare mine roller coaster when it was on the front of the park in the 1980s. This was the first coaster I took my oldest son on. Since then we've been on we’ve been on coasters at Fuji’ Q Highland Highland park, Japan; Toshimaen Park, Japan; Summerland, Japan; Magic Mountain, California; Funtastic Park, Guam; Sea World & Six Flags San Antonio Texas; Busch Gardens, Virginia; Six Flags, Houston Texas; both Disney Cali & Disney Florida & more!
I was heartbroken the year I was finally tall enough to ride the rollercoasters... Because it was the same year Nightmare shut down... So I never got to ride it...
Unfortunately nightmare mine isn’t inside the barn anymore, only the outside track is noticeable. The rest of the track is just off site at a dump yard for the park. It’s the red/ white track. Inside is just the haunted Hause for Halloween. But supports for the drop are still intact as well as the cue line.
What is interesting about Wildcat is, it came from Fairyland Park in Kansas City. It sat idle for years. Although the Park chose Deer Creek's choice as Wildcat. The coaster at Fairyland Park was also named WILDCAT.
Here is something a ride called the Tomahawk was a very popular ride. I remember that me and fellow worker was in the janitor closet getting ready to clean the bathrooms that was under it when we heard a loud clash then when we stepped out of the closet we saw the arms swinging loosely. It was dismantled after a few years and what was put in place is the lasso ride which it is a kiddie ride in Germany. Now the park still has the tomahawk ride. It lies in what called boneyard. A graveyard of rides. They couldn't replace a gear that broke off.
14:35 Well as a Oklahoman that goes to frontier city all the time nightmare mine was demolished but that piece of track was left there but inside is a haunted house during Halloween
You should of got with me on some of these things. Silver Bullet 's Headrests actually came from Greezed Lightning Trains. The head rests were installed in 2018 when Six Flags took back over the park. Also the mountain Ghost mine opened with the park in 1958. There is actually one building in the park that predates the park and was actually a home that sat on the property. The mountain original to the park was first called Ghost Mine, then Treasure Mountain and finally Quick Draw. There was a time in the early to mid 80's before it became Treasure Mountain that it was a event space. There is actually a Tribute on the operatore stand says Treasure Mountain Mining Company. The Tower for Soaring Eagle actually came with the ride. It is new not a repurposed tower. I can tell you which is the oldest rides original to the park etc. I'm a long time fan of the park and help run a fan page for the park. I'm an unofficial historian of the park. Good video and I like that you found the photo of James C. Burge .
You're right about Silver Bullet. It is very easy to tell the trains apart, since Silver Bullet is the only Looping Star to have the 1st generation front cars, while Viper had the 2nd generation style. Normally, Schwarzkopf had already switched to 2nd generation trains when Bullet was built in 1978, but I guess the original owners wanted it to resemble Magic Mountain's Revolution as closely as possible, both in the shape of the train (Revolution ran 1st gen trains before thy were swapped with new trains a few years ago) and in the color scheme which was nearly a copy of Revolution. It was even advertised as being "the latest creation from America" when traveling the German fairs in the late 70s. I guess that sounded more spectacular than the true origin of the ride, a small village in Bavaria. ;-)
What year did the Nightmare ride shut down? Also I'm surprised he didn't say anything about eruption in this video. That ride was scary AF. I only went on it once when I had a few drinks
Actually the real reason why they closed it is because someone got their head knocked off. Also the lost of hands it was a dangerous ride that it had to be shut down.
I miss the nightmare, it was so fun just pitch black while riding the coaster makes it even more awesome. Nightmare was shut down due to its old age they either couldn’t find the parts needed to repair or it was too expensive. Just glad I got to ride it. Can’t believe the Wildcat is blue now and like gray almost from fading paint. Used to be bright white and red.
I have fond memories of Frontier City . Ive since moved to Florida (about 10 years ago) and fully intend to take my hubby and 8 yr old to Frontier City when we visit in January
Yo that tower for the sky rail is not the same from the old gondola. Tower was never there when I all was kid and it was only installed in like 2019. So unless they stored a huge pole for 30+ years it’s a new pole. Also the nightmare coaster building is used for a Halloween haunted house attraction. Miss that coaster.
Probably the best ride at Frontier City is either: Wildcat, or Diamondback. I would like The grey coloured ride, well I do, but if it was faster I’d love that ride. Sorry I don’t remember what it’s called :( I’ve only been once (Edit): Diamondback has a station? When I went in 2019, they didn’t have the station lol
Your Quick Draw segment was pretty far off. You left a lot out, it's been used consistently since the 90s and been through a lot of name and theme changes.
Technically SFOT is the first Six Flags park. It was the first park to have the name Six Flags. However with Frontier City being older, I could see where you are coming from.
Six Flags never BUILT frontier city, they just bought it. Unless you’d consider an older car that you receive way later in your life as your “first car” because of its age, SFOT is still the first Six Flags! Hope that helps.
There's all the history I was talking about but some of it I'm sure has already been corrected, that train on the silver bullet just got replaced in 2019 that came from greesed lightning from Kentucky Kingdom, now if the train came from Astro world before that I'm not sure
You should do, what frontier city needs like coasters, for me they need a out in back gci wooden coaster like the first ever gci that goes up to 180 or 200 ft
I worked at frontier city back in early 2000 and the kiddie dragon ride was a ride that i inspected many times before park woukd open daily , not sure when it was removed but the kids loved them. The dark ride was a gold mine ride when i worked there and it went the opposite dirrection too. Loved working at the park and has been a six flags park for quite sone time. All engineer work for that park came out of the St.louis Six Flag .

@@johnnyjohns3863 It closed after the 2000 season. It's still sitting in the park's bone yard across the road from Wildcat.

I always wonder what happened to it

I love Frontier City
Actually, the tracks inside the nightmare have been removed about ten years ago, fright fest was held in it one year
UPDATE: The picture of James C. Now has a sign below it that has his name and the year Frontier City was established (1958)

Wait a second the wild cat Easter egg yeah I go to deer Creek Schools
What year did the Nightmare ride shut down? Also I'm surprised he didn't say anything about eruption in this video. That ride was scary AF. I only went on it once when I had a few drinks
Cool vid. I lived in Edmond in the 60s I remember the mine ride. Park was smaller then
i wish they would revive the indoor coaster. my parents who went there said it was the best attraction.
Actually the real reason why they closed it is because someone got their head knocked off. Also the lost of hands it was a dangerous ride that it had to be shut down.
@@anthonyanderson3448 wow this is widely unknown,l
@@anthonyanderson3448 any sort of link to confirm this?
@@maddiegurganus3887 Nope, urban legend
they need to fix the lightening mining and
reopen the Lighting Mine train
WAIT A MINUTE THEY TOOK OUT THE DRAGON RIDE?? D:
I miss the nightmare, it was so fun just pitch black while riding the coaster makes it even more awesome.

Awesome content we have passes for frontier city and we go all the time and we’re going today
Wow, 6th graders? I would not have known. Im planing to visit the park later this year. Now, I will kniw where to look
This is cool i never knew about this
Very cool video. The park used to have a ride call Eruption that was scary AF! I only went on it once but I had a few drink's first 😂
I have fond memories of Frontier City .
Ive since moved to Florida (about 10 years ago) and fully intend to take my hubby and 8 yr old to Frontier City when we visit in January
i adore this theme park, my favorite rides are Steel Lasso, Tornado, and Sidewinder
I’ve been on quick draw once and I never went back on it again I was so scared of it but I didn’t scream or anything I was a brave 6 to 5 year old
The wild cat uses to be blue but now it is red when the coster is about to go up look back at the building and you will see the blue one!!!
I knew a few of them, but I learned some stuff from this video
Whoa info I see :O
Good job! Enjoyed your video! Thank you!
Awesome I made the video, kind of at 0:28 lol
My cousin’s friend that played on his baseball team broke his neck on the world cat because a tree fell on his neck
Fright fest is about to open :)
Did you about Sweet Adeline, the train behind Quickdraw?
I never knew of these secrets until now! But anyways, cool!
I haven’t been to frontier city since I was 6 years old and 5 years old I’m 12 now it’s been a really long time
Great, let’s see how many I know
Good as always

These seem more like fun facts
The Nightmare was my favorite ride!
Frontier city is my home park
Same
Dang bro! Almost to 800 subs! You grew a lot over the last few months! And that’s well deserved!
I got on the flying Dragon
Probably the best ride at Frontier City is either: Wildcat, or Diamondback. I would like The grey coloured ride, well I do, but if it was faster I’d love that ride. Sorry I don’t remember what it’s called :( I’ve only been once
(Edit): Diamondback has a station? When I went in 2019, they didn’t have the station lol
The pole from the eagle ride is probably part of eruption or it could be the sky ride who knows
Yeah. I feel like the sky ride pole would be too old. The sky ride hasn't been around for 30-40 years.
Your Quick Draw segment was pretty far off. You left a lot out, it's been used consistently since the 90s and been through a lot of name and theme changes.
So if frontier city is older than six flags over Texas is six flags over Texas still the first six flags or not?
(maybe still is)
Technically SFOT is the first Six Flags park. It was the first park to have the name Six Flags. However with Frontier City being older, I could see where you are coming from.

Do one of fiesta Texas
Soon tho
I am big fan
Was it just ny phone or was their a purple line on the right side of screen??? Lmao
You should do, what frontier city needs like coasters, for me they need a out in back gci wooden coaster like the first ever gci that goes up to 180 or 200 ft
he needs 100 more subs
Let’s goo! Thanks for the cameo at the beginning lol!

Hi
This video is about 14 mins too long.
I heve not been there yet I I will go soon
Problem
Your bell is blocked
?
I worked at frontier city back in early 2000 and the kiddie dragon ride was a ride that i inspected many times before park woukd open daily , not sure when it was removed but the kids loved them. The dark ride was a gold mine ride when i worked there and it went the opposite dirrection too. Loved working at the park and has been a six flags park for quite sone time. All engineer work for that park came out of the St.louis Six Flag .
Treasure mountain was the name of the dark ride when I was maintance there.
