![Umm.. Everything was OPEN at Frontier City?! - Oklahoma City Theme Park | VLOG [6/10/23]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cp1OXP-SKAo/mqdefault.jpg)
The Wildcat came from the old Fairyland park from Kansas City. Glad to see it's still up and running
This looks like such a hidden gem. Not a huge or exciting park, but one with a ton of charm. Please don't ruin this park SF!
Coaster Labs i live in Oklahoma and if its your first time going it really exciting. They have different roller coasters, fast, slow. Wet and drty.
@@nayzolanski there's not a ton out there, but at least there's the park at OWA to do as well.
Coaster Labs you guys don’t understand, it’s really boring once u get a pass every year. Only 3 coasters.... 3....
@@retro_tcb 5*
@@retro_tcb rollercoasters are really expensive, now that six flags took over, they have a lot more money.
Fun fact about the gunfight/stunt show, it is the longest continuously running western shoot out in America. Started on opening day in March 1958. I worked the stunt show 2018-2022 and am now a sub.
Glad you were able to swing by OKC. Your suspicions about Silver Bullet being a former traveler are 100% right as she was a fair circuit ride until Frontier City bought her. The other two big Roller Coaster there have similar backgrounds, Wild Cat is a hybrid (wood track with steel supports) that was purchased from a park in Kansas and Diamond back is the top half of the Lightning Loops ride from Great Adventure. So Frontier City has a unique Coaster collection mostly composed of unique second hand rides.
A wood track with steel supports is not a hybrid. Just a wood coaster with metal supports.
@@BackSeatJunkie Actually coasters in this configuration are also referred to as Hybrids (Hybrid referring to the multiple construction materials either wood on steel or steel on wood). Other notable coasters in this type of hybrid configuration include Gemini at Cedar Point and the Voyage at Holiday World. The more recently popularized RMC Hybrids while revolutionary weren't the first to employ a blend of building materials.
BackSeatJunkie technically it’s a wood hybrid
sorry you missed out on Diamond Back. absolutely the best ride there. the ejector is crazy in the front seat when going backwards.
Best Candy Store Ever is there at Frontier City
This is my home park I’ve always loved it!
After vivid go to factory obscura near brick town
For idea with no spoilers look up meow wolf qualidoscope pov at elitch gardens
I remember going on the antique cars when I was a kid and I'm now 50. So yeah they're old. And yes the river rapids ride gets you very wet. Especially your feet.
Zingo is in storage somewhere in Tulsa after the County did not renew Bells Amusement Park land lease. It was dismantled by the Bells family and put into storage in 2006. - You should have checked out the Tulsa Zoo.
So sorry about the Quick Draw!!! I promise you that all of the animatronics work! Sad thing is, we forgot to turn them on for opening weekend... The beginning of the season comes with some ignorance, but we get better with time. Thank you for the kind words and for visiting the park! Let us know if you visit again and we can maybe score you some behind the scenes action. I know we're doing that exact thing right now with some Texas thrill seekers.
Joseph Lance, Operations supervisor.
Thanks for reaching out, I’m sure with the AA’s on I would have enjoyed the ride much more.
Quick draw used to be a ride called treasure mountain that was more of a scary ride with no guns but an animatronic show.
Hello is frontier city open next saturday and sunday 10 and 11
Really love the old school Arrow Shuttle Looper. Fortunate enough to ride the one at the old Boardwalk and Baseball when I was in elementary school.
Thank You for this video it helped us finish our plans for a trip.
WOLFTICK VIDEOS we are also going on a trip this weekend there
This is my home park and sorry diamondback was closed for you! That is my favorite ride, but it is kinda rough
Sorry I should of gave you some brief history of the park. Big Fan of the park. Big fan of my home state. The Carousel has an interesting history to it it was once a Traveling carousel that traveled with the Smithsonian anniversary tour back in the mid 90's. The park bought the carousel from the Smithsonian and the manufacturer built a special Oklahoma Themed horse. The Governor of Oklahoma at the time made the Carousel the official Carousel of Oklahoma. The Train Galley Car behind the Not so great Dark Ride Quick Draw was once owned by a U.S. President. I can't remember the U.S. President. The not so great Dark ride Mountain and the buildings that run along the East side of the park are all original to the park when it was built in the 1950's. The old western stunt fighters Gun Show Frontier City is where that type of show started in theme parks. It was the pioneer for that type of show. The park has some great theme park history. Bummer Tumbleweed and Renegade Rapids were not open for you. They opened up this past week. Gunslinger and Diamond Back are slated to be open with the next couple of weeks. The park extended their season in 2018 and it shortened up their off-season for the first time it was like 11 weeks. So the shorter off season and the transformation to a Six Flags managed park there was A lot of work they had to do that some of the attractions were pushed back well into after the park has opened for the season. Renegade Rapid has some great interactive queue line theme-ing. Along that pathway in front of the Train station you missed Uncle Bart the talking farting outhouse. The park has 120 acres to use and right now it is only using 45 acres. So I'm definitely interested to see what Six Flags does with this park in the next 30 years. Great Review glad you enjoyed the park maybe they will get a new Roller Coaster in the next couple of year that might entice you to come back to Oklahoma. Right now knowing you are a avid craft beer fan. You might be interested in staying at a new hotel that is under construction near the Capital. A large local Craft Beer company who distributes all over the state of Oklahoma and nearby states is taking a very large old US Army Armory. Beautiful 1930's 3 story building. Converting into a Convention Boutique/ Brewery hotel. Glad you enjoyed your stay in Oklahoma.
Thanks for the info
Really appreciate comments like these, really filled me in, thanks for spending the time writing it.
For a regional park, it’s not bad. Got some good memories there.
Frontier city is much more fun during fright fest!
White Water Bay is Oklahoma Cities Water Park but it's on the other side of the city. I was born and raised in Oklahoma and still have fond memories of Frontier City. I'm glad Six Flags bought them again and can't wait to see what they do to bring new life into the park.
That is really awesome that they show all of those rollers in the Wildcat line!
I promise that the tumble weed works I go every week
Burma Shave was shaving cream from the 30s and 40s that they advertised with road signs placed so that you would read the ad as you were driving down the highway. Pretty intuitive marketing for the time
Thanks for the info
I have been to that theme park I go there every year 🎡🎢🎠🥨🍿🥤🌭🍔🍟🍗🍧🍺🥃🍷🍻🍬🍫🍪🧊
The Wild Cat use to be located at Fairy Land, in Kansas City, and was almost demolished untill ACE raised enough money to have it moved to Frontier City.
I'm from Jackson NJ too and funny how you call the rides what they were called at Great Adventure.
I've been going to frontier city since I was a little kid and it's always been fun. I dont go much anymore other than fright fest when it comes around.
ohh man, its been such a long time since I was here. Last time I was there was when the diamond back first opened. my buddy and I went there one day where not a lot of people were there. The guy operating the ride let us ride it non-stop without getting out. We only made it a couple minutes (maybe shorter, felt much longer). We had to tell him to stop when we were about to hurl.
White water was a bunch of fun too. At the time (mid 90s) you could get a summer pass that covered both parks for 100.
The Nightmare was the best coaster in the park when I was in highschool. I last rode it in the summer of 1992, then it closed forever. I dont remember why it was closed. It seemed hush hush at the time.
Hello I'm from Kansas and I remember this place very very well my grandparents would take me there every summer and I had a great time but they didn't have a lot of these rides in this park they've done a lot while it's been many many years since I've been there and I've heard that they closed that I see on here that they're still open so I don't know I love to take a trip there someday I'm only about 3 between 3 and 4 hours from there I hope and pray to take a trip there someday cuz like I said it's been many many years since I've been there so and it's only 6 years older than I am so I'm telling my age. LOL but I do remember it being a pretty cool place go look at the different stores going shopping and just checking every place out the the theme park here where I live they closed in 2006 and it was here since 1949 that's when it opened up here closed in 2006 and I really loved it best amusement park in the world here in Kansas but like I said it closed up so sad to see it go because I went there since I was a small child and then my grandparents when they would go to Oklahoma and we go to there to see family and then when they would mention do you want to go to Frontier City I said hell yeah you know it I have beautiful memories there they were my two favorite amusement parks the one here in Kansas and the one there in Oklahoma City well take care and God bless everyone
had a friend that worked there and they flew out engineers from Cali to try and fix Nightmare but they couldnt figure out what was wrong with it.
Silver Bullet is in fact a portable coaster. That's why they have all the water buckets like the ones near the loop: those are there to weigh the ride down, I kid you not. There are several identical clones of Silver Bullet that were once used to travel from fairgrounds to fairgrounds, although I think most of them today are permanently set up in one location as Silver Bullet is. I also think that the portable coaster that's designed after the Olympic Rings was made by the same company as this one. It wasn't the same layout of course but I'm pretty sure it was the exact same type of track.
ClearSky Productions Here is another fact about it. It’s also there to absorb the vibrations as the train coasts along the track. 😁
ClearSky Productions Silver Bullet is also the only one if it’s model to throw riders to the left before the airtime hill.
In fact it is the prototype of all transportable looping coasters made by Anton Schwarzkopf in the late 1970s to mid 1980s. It is the only "Looping Star" (single loop) to be designed as a fully transportable, the later ones had less "plug" connectors and more bolts, and one or two even require concrete foundations. The "Olympia Looping" that you refer to follows the Schwarzkopf heritage, but was built after Schwarzkopf went bankrupt. It still licensed his designs and he worked as a consultant when that ride was built. ;-)
The silver bullet and steel lasso hurt like shisse. Also the tumbleweed had a bad fire which is why it's closed
6:34 I use to play in that playground all the time and it used to be a ball pit inside where you could pick the balls up and they had ball turrets and I would try to shoot my friends across the way from me.
McGriddle69 same
I never knew about the talking buffalo animatronic on either of my last two visits.
YAY ITS HERE! 😆
Ok so my grandma worked at frontier city for almost 15 years...Also before the brain drain there was a old ride that would flip you and stick u up side down for a while amazing ride...and where the now birds are use to be a drop tower ride which was only there for a year but I rode it for the short time they had it which was awsome...Random but my grandma was in charge of decorating the park like the small details my grandma was in charge of that...Sorry one more fact the back wall of the gift shop use to have three animatronic bears that would sing dance and welcome guest super awsome...(GREAT VID BTW)😁😎😁🙂
the time warp
winged worrier used to be named something else, and the artwork was some parrots. it’s been there since before i was born.
Went to this on the second of may, I liked it, it was a good first theme park for me, now tomorrow I go to six flags on me senior trip. Wish me luck!
love this video
You should win a award for your enthusiasm for this grim Park lmao
Lol I spent all day there today (10am-8pm)
Molly for President!!!!
Cool! I'm going to OKC next week. Definitely going to Frontier City.
I love the music selection it real drives the theme home
Hopefully six flags won't mess it up like they did with Kentucky kingdom
The Coaster Roaster They'll probably keep it on the same level as Great Escape, so there isn't much to mess up. Plus, this park needs some TLC.
I enjoyed Kentucky kingdom the last time I went which was about...2 or 3 years ago
Six Flags used to own Frontier City back in the day, but then Six Flags Corp had a massive money issue (dumping so many rides in a short time) that they dropped some parks and now are starting to rebuy some of the best of those that they dropped.
@@magical_penguin9895 That was post Six Flags and it was bought back by the original owner who, from what I heard, had to undo the mess that Six Flags had done to it.
The casino reminds me of harley Quinn.
I wouldn't be surprised if they gave some Harley Quinn theming to it..on the other hand, my nostalgia kinda hopes they don't. Time will tell
Vekoma "Hang an' Bang" HAHAHAHAHA hysterical-----ly accurate.
Didn’t come up with the term for the ride, but it’s accurate for most of them (not this one)
I am going today and this will be my 4th time it's really fun
Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.
The Silver Bullet was never a traveling fair ride, it was pretty much the park's flagship ride ever since my childhood.
Now that it's a Six Flags park, can you use your Six Flags season pass/membership?
Never mind. You answered it towards the end. Lol! Thanks!
ChrisCataluna yes
wildcat is one of the oldest
This is my home park and I love the roaring rapids it gets you SUPER wet lol it’s such a blast though my very favorite ride before they changed it though used to it had buckle seatbelts now it has Velcro belts and when I rode it with the new Velcro belts mine about came off! I had to quickly reput it back on I mean it’s okay i didn’t get hurt and it’s not like it goes upside down or anything just kinda upset they took out the buckle belts but maybe some people where getting stuck or wouldn’t come off properly I don’t know but still my favorite ride lol and also the tornado and bumper cars omg I love those rides so much absolute blast 😂😀 and the Ferris wheel so fun but gotta remember with that one to put my hair up 😂 I love almost all the rides at frontier city I think theirs really only a few rides I’m not crazy about at all and it’s the Gunslinger and brain drain and tumbleweed and casino
Legend is the park even worth going to If you had just one day in OKC.
If you have a six flags pass that’ll get you in than I would check it out, if not would depend on what it costs to get in.
💛 that Buffalo
My home park! I love that place. Grew up going to it every summer. Hopefully six flag hyped up the place cuz it was getting dusty haha
Me to
Kinda loses that Old Timey charm next to that bust modern freeway, doesn't it?
@@nayzolanski, point taken, and I'll bet the blood curdling screams add to the festive noise!!
Burma-Shave was an American brand of brushless shaving cream, famous for its advertising gimmick of posting humorous rhyming poems on small sequential highway roadside signs.
I'm from Jersey too!! Love your videos!
I’m not from Jersey myself, grew up on Long Island in NY, but Great Adventure was my closest real amusement park, so would go all the time
Hell yeah
Also minor typo in the title
Carnival ride. Lmao!
Great video
Could they not expand across the street from the wooden coaster? Anyone know what land that is? Looks empty.
The wild cat is not Smooth it hurts my back and I'm 16
TheAngelOfDeath2002 the diamond back hurts my back more
It hurt my back in 1992. Lol
Can't believe you haven't heard of Scenic Railway at Melbourne's Luna Park. It destroys your arse, but it's worth riding the world's oldest continuously operating rollercoaster :)
steel lasso was built buy chance rides I thought?? and how do you not like power surges. they like the best flat ride ever!! this park could be good it they take out some rides. and put in better ones.. I would love to see like gci.. premier sky rocket. and maybe a S&S free spin.. then it will be complete...
ThrillRider247 The park is too small and doesn't get the kind of profits for that. Plus they would throw the amazing theming off. Not to mention Six Flags still has larger parks that they haven't done much with.
To wrap up things around Steel Lasso: It is a coaster which was designed by Vekoma. Also trains, control systems, and all that stuff was made by Vekoma. Just the tracks and supports were manufactured by Chance Morgan. It's not uncommon to have coasters manufactured somewhere else if they are going to be installed on another continent. Much cheaper than shipping them across the Ocean.
Most B&Ms in the US were actually made in Ohio, even though B&M is a Swiss company. ;-)
in the loop let me know when you want park history
They are getting rid of the gun slinger😭
Nothin' how bout u 😲 really? Isn’t there a sign there that says it’ll open in May?
It was removed from SFGAdv in 1992
Also the gun slinger has probably only been open like twice within 2 years it’s never ever open lol
Thanks for the video! I'm going to be driving through Oklahoma this summer and plan to stop by Frontier City. Were you able to use a Six Flags Pass or Membership for this park? Or are they still seperate?
Edit: oof I posted this when you said you wrapped up but in your conclusion you answered it...
Yes your membership works for admission and parking
Your dining pass also will work. 😉
Your dining pass also will work. 😉
The season pass. Is good. For admisión
Gun slinger has a huge amount of down time, also they need to replace the bumper cars with a pandemonium
Please, does anyone know what time they open in winter? I went once and found it closed. I don't know what time it will open
I believe opening times vary depending on the day of the week. Park opening times are listed on the website
I just got back from there today
This is basically a nock off silver dollar city tho
Btw sdc is my favorite park ever it reminds me of my roots
fun fact the reason why the skeletons only have one leg is because me and my freind got drunk a took the legs and slapped eatchother with them after that idk what happenede to them
I've read so many bad reviews about this park. Overpriced, The teenage employees are clueless and don't care, the floor around the soda machines are sticky, restrooms nasty, food is terrible and most of the rides are closed due to under staffing.
question why is wild cat not listed on their website?
No clue
I only know six flags because of magic mountain but it's like they didn't care to make this park exciting. It puzzles me when the park I've been to is way more fun than this park. You can't even compare. Rides here looked dirty and unkept. And the overall vibe I got seemed like a park that people forgot
@20:25 go to six flags america lol
Silver Bullet sucks. It breaks down a lot. People actually get stuck on it all the time. I think 3 times last summer. Actually the entire parks sucks.
You dissing my Judge Roy
I dont like the wildcat it's to bumpy
Hi
Was The nightmare open
I believe that ride has been closed for years and the building is now a haunted house for fright fest
@@IntheLoopPodcast ok yeah that was one of my favorite rides I wish they would open it back up again
Does a hunting house
Look up Buffalo
ngl there rides are weak they need some more extreme
ones
Lmao what a boring park. Wtf
