I worked at FC around 1986, every ride was always open. I use to manage the Saloon in my teens, free beer. That was a fun job. Sad to see what has happened to it now. It was awesome back then, but not as many rides. Still had lots of shows, water ride, two roller coasters, the ship, and arcade, carny type games, a saloon, I think a water flume, log flume, carousel always worked. But that was 38 years ago.
Frontier City is my home park as well. I wish that they would buy more land north of the park or build some type of pedestrian bridge because the road that is behind the park and behind the water park is also owned by them. So it would be cool to see them add rides over there.
@13:12 That's where the Eruption used to be; I remember being flung up hundreds of feet in the air when I was younger. Oklahoma City is quickly outgrowing this park now.
3:40 is the only remaining part of “ nightmare mine “ the whole building is gutted besides the original station its mostly used for storage for the fright fest events 20:30 was “ Mind Bender “ the ride was removed after getting stuck upside down with riders.
What got my attention to your youtube channel was, you took a tour of Frontier City. I live in Oklahoma and as a I would go to Frontier City. This brought back me memories i haven't thought of in years. I loved to go there every chance i could. We lived almost two hours away. The missing ride was called The Time Warp.
Grew up at Frontier city in the late 80's - early 90's. It always was just an okc sized version of 6 flags in Dallas. It ain't great but it was fun for what it was. And used to be cheap too.
The Gunslinger is never open. It's a weird experimental ride that came from Magic Springs. The Diamondback is also old has issues. You came on a bad day. It's usually just those two rides down. I go this park often and it's a great family park. Just needs more money to make it better.
Here's what I would do to make the park more exciting. First, improve operations in the park and updates on the website. Then, I'd add some new flat rides in all those empty spaces such as an A.R.M. Larson drop tower, A Funtime Star Flyer, and a Zamperla pendulum ride similar to Extreme Supernova at Six Flags Great Escape. Finally, I'd build an S&S El Loco where that I door roller coaster and build either a Gerstlauer Euro Fighter or a Zierrer Tower Coaster where the water slide and play structure currently sit while relocating those two waterpark attractions to nearby Six Flags Hurricane Harbor.
I grew up going here, has always been ran down its sad... I used to get passes but still go atleast 1 time a year. The water park side of it is really nice and u get entry for free. Also during Halloween is THE best time to go..they actually do a GREAT job during Halloween and with the western theme it is REALLY cool. Great haunted houses too...quick draw used to be called ghost mountain it was alot cooler...but anyone thinking of coming do it during Halloween
i’m going in like a week for my bday and i was watching this to see what was prolly gonna be closed and ofc my favorite gunslinger is closed 😭 it’s literally been closed for over a year and i went last summer and that ladder was in the same spot 💀
Wow its gotten even worse and the parking price is ridiculous $30-$40 just to park now!! My mom was an R.N. and the hospital would give all the workers free tickets every year for the family and se wentvevery year then the hospital stopped doing the free frontier city tickets and started doing a big summer employee and family cookout
Hmm they are not supposed to have a surcharge for food, drinks or merchandise. CedarFair/New Six Flags first thing was to remove the surcharge from all the Six Flags parks.
Very disappointing to see all the closed rides!! Since I would be coming from Orlando, I would have to call guest relations first to make sure I wont be wasting money and time to go to this park. And all of those closures in Summer peak too?? Thats insane!
Frontier City is my home park and I’m so glad you guys made it back out here. Sorry that like half of the rides were down, idk what was up with that. I know Diamond Back sustained wind damage earlier this year and has been down since. Also I have no clue why they wouldn’t let you take photos from the Ferris wheel. I’ve never had any issues with that.
They stole almost 1,000 dollars from me and my kids during covid!! The worker lied to me about the cost of the yearly pass. They kept taking money out of my account until I had to close it. I spoke several times with the management, and they said there was nothing they could do even though their employee lied when I set up my passes. Really sux because we will not do business with them anymore, and the manager turned out to be extremely rude over the phone! From what I understand, China owns this. Six Flags and white water!! SHAME SHAME ON YALL FOR SCREWING PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED YOU ALL FOR MANY MANY YEARS!!!

Ya now they screw you out if your hard earned money and lie to you about it!! SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YALL!!
As someone who had a summer pass here from 1994 thru 2003, this is soo soo sad. It's like they just abandoned all the best rides.
I used to work there, and somehow things used to be even worse. I'm surprised that things got better, but disappointed this is the better version.
Can't believe that charge full price with so many rides down

The water area opened at the end of July and was only running weekends. They had an issue earlier in the season.

Yeah these big companies gladly take your money and then you are greeted with half of the rides closed. Yeah not wasting my money there.
Drowzee will help you sleep more than snorlax I would think.
molly there will be a new amusement park in northeast oklahoma called heartland america it opens in 2025 0r 2026
I’m pretty sure that got canceled because of funding issues
Frontier City is the most Roller Coaster Tycoon coded park I’ve ever been to

I wish they could get a few ride upgrades
It's a neat little park.

Are they short staffed or something?
Hmm they are not supposed to have a surcharge for food, drinks or merchandise. CedarFair/New Six Flags first thing was to remove the surcharge from all the Six Flags parks.
This was filmed right before the surcharge was removed
@@IntheLoopPodcast oh okay I was like what
I went to this park when I was a kid and now I wouldn't waiste my time this park is crap now and I'm from oklahoma
I thought when six flags purchased it they would remodel it and upgrade the rides 😕 the water park is cool but everything is so old
Quick draw always scared me as a kid
Looks the exact same since the last time I went 11 years ago lol
Very disappointing to see all the closed rides!! Since I would be coming from Orlando, I would have to call guest relations first to make sure I wont be wasting money and time to go to this park. And all of those closures in Summer peak too?? Thats insane!
Yup peak Summer, this was filmed July 19
Good luck trying to Call any Six Flags. Email is all you get.
Not sure how much admission is, but however much it is is too much.
Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club puney earthling.
I think Diamondback is always closed.
This is more better themed. But might be in the line to close forever 😢

they need to demolish that place and build a better one. more intense rides like six flags over oklahoma kinda thing.
This place is a definite dud off to go watch another video...
13:05 They Brought The Splash Down Effect Back. Neat! ^^
