Just an idea, but Six Flags should relocate all of the big coasters that everyone hates to Frontier City, they would actually appreciate the additions

Man, he’s going from the park with the most coasters in the world to... Frontier City

What if they built a Skyrush clone at Frontier City just for Chris

"It could be worse." Yeah it could be Michigan's Adventure.

They might actually be opening Diamondback more now that they invested in a station roof

Chris: Steel Lasso is the park’s newest coaster Frankie’s Mine Train: *crys in child abuse*

Six Flags: realises Chris is moving nearby to Frontier City. Frontier City is their new favorite park instead of Magic Mountain. 2021: Intamin Strata 2022: B&M Giga 2023: 500ft RMC T-Rex 2024: 20 new kiddie coasters so they have the most coasters in the world Then Airtime Thrills will be happy :)))

Fun fact. The gunfight show has actually been moved and changed over the years. Whether or not Frontier City had the first, it was previously located immediately outside the side doors of the Oklahoma Opry building, by where they do the old fashioned photos (or did last time I went, which was before the installation of the steel lasso). I think the staging for it was a lot bigger back then too, but I was a wee one. I also think you would have enjoyed Tomahawk and Mind Bender, back when they were located at the park.

This is my home park! It’s not a lot, but OKC is small enough, we’re lucky to have any park.

Nightmare was the signature coaster at Frontier City... Nightmare (aka Nightmare Mine), an enclosed Zyklon / Galaxi coaster with an interesting history, has been gone for many many years....the company that made the parts needed to maintain the ride sadly became bankrupt...I bring up Nightmare because it used to fill the niche you described in the video: a coaster that packed a lot of bang into a nice little space-saving package...Nightmare is one of the most mourned coasters in Oklahoma....it was a very, very popular ride...what I'd like to see Six Flags do is to come up with something similar to Nightmare but something different...a signature coaster that sticks out and is unique to Frontier City...

Even though I am from Germany (and live there), FC has somewhat become my home park. People may say "Are you crazy? You have Europa-Park and Phantasialand around the corner???" Yes, that may be true, but either one is a 2.5 hours drive away, and driving on the infamous German Autobahn just sucks. 2.5 hours there stress me out more than a cross-country drive in the United States would. I do whatever I can to avoid it, so I haven't been to any German park in years. Unfortunately none of the parks has a decent option to get there by train - the last miles between the station and the park you have to spend in overcrowded shuttle busses - if you get on at all, otherwise you have to wait another hour until the next bus departs. On the other hand, I work for the German branch of an OKC based company, so I get to go there quite often (well, not this year... :-( ), and from there it's just a few minutes to the park. Of course they are small, and they don't have the big thrill rides, but I totally agree that no other park that is part of Six Flags operations has such a great theming. And loving old Schwarzkopf coasters, what can be better than the very first Looping Star ever made? ;-) Maybe it's also the fact that on my first visit to the park I met someone who now plays an important role in my life... Anyhow, regarding future additions to the park, I heard that the go-kart track is permanently closed and will be removed to vacate some land for a new ride. Also there is the building that used to house an indoor coaster and is now only used during Fright Fest. Combining this building with a custom RMC Raptor, which would partially be indoors could easily put them very high on the bucket list of many enthusiasts. It seems that Silver Bullet's lift hil is running slower this year than it did when I was there last December. My biggest gripe about the park is the terrible food, but on the other hand that's no surprise for a park run by Six Flags.

“It has some solid park-related merch” right as he walks by the poop hats

I really think that Frontier City is lack luster in the coaster department. I feel like they could add a really new eye drawer like an S&S Axis.

Wow if this became your new home park you would really be going from one extreme to another.

You're gonna miss magic Mountain.

Frontier City was my home park my whole life. Even though I live in San Antonio now and have Fiesta Texas, I would still consider Frontier City a home away from home park. Yes it may be small, but you can still have a fun filled day there, especially if you have kids.

They should have waited for the better Cedar Fair offer. CF never goes bankrupt and you get the toys the bigger parks are board with. So Dorney Parks old rides.

Weirdly enough, this actually looks like my type of park. An old Schwarzkopf? Check. Sketchy charm? Check. Small layout, could easily be navigated in less than a day? Check.

Oklahoman here! I've been around the block a few times as far as amusement parks, mostly Texas and Ohio, but I've hit all the big spots, and I'm definitely a coaster head. Frontier City is very... rustic, I guess? Funnily enough, I do feel like the run-down-ness of the park contributes to the atmosphere and theme more than it takes away, which sounds kinda silly, but it's a nice little spot to get lost in in a comfortable way. I can think back to plenty of summer days stretching into nights at that place. That being said... it's a pretty low quality park, especially since they've had a lot of removals of pretty critical flat rides over the years. I was excited that Six Flags picked it up, clearly they're interested in working with it, but I don't expect that they're going to do much beyond spruce the place up and install low profile rides and features. They just don't have much space to work with, and especially now, I doubt that they're going to do anything too drastic. Which is a shame. I honestly wouldn't be too opposed to them even trying to push some large scale renovations. It would hurt to see it go, but if they gutted everything excluding the front of the park, I wouldn't mind, but I doubt something like that would be in the cards now. Keep an eye on it though, we might get a nice attraction or 2 in the next 5 years or so!

As somebody who has FC as a home park. This park is in dire need of some new rides, and i'll be the first to say it. the majority of our rides have been hand-me-down's through the years. But the fanbase for the park has been talking and we are all in quiet agreement that if Six Flags wants to, it could really change to be something amazing in the next few years. It becomes a matter if you are willing to wait to see those changes happen. Love your review

I love Frontier City, it’s awesome that you get to be close to Texas parks and you get Silver Bullet

My girlfriend lives in Oklahoma City, so I've visited Frontier City on one of my trips out to see her. It's a really underrated park, as it has the best atmosphere of any park I've been to, and seems to be very well-maintained. I also really liked Silver Bullet, and it's definitely my favorite Schwarzkopf. I'm definitely looking forward to what Six Flags will do with the park in the future, as I think they could add a lot to Frontier City without ruining the atmosphere too much.

I appreciate you not dragging the park because it doesn't have the biggest baddest rides in the world. There is definitely a place for family parks still. I think Hersheypark is a good example of a place that does a good job of mixing big bad rides and still plenty of stuff for the future coaster enthusiasts. Maybe the extra attention from your channel now will draw some attention to Frontier City. I know im more interested in visiting now after this video.

I used to live in Oklahoma and then I moved to California I was so impressed with the roller coasters but it's nice to hear someone talk about Frontier City

Good luck with the potential move and potential new home park! That's crazy. Magic Mountain to Frontier City!

No Chris no please don’t move I want to see you at sfmm sometime😭

I live just down the road in Moore, OK. There aren’t a ton of things to do in Oklahoma but most people agree that we make up for it in friendly people. Despite what many people say, if you decide to move here I think you will enjoy it! I’ve lived in a few other parts of the country and I was more than ready to move back here when I got the chance. Good luck

I live in Oklahoma! It’s a great place to be, besides the coasters of course lol. Great people, quiet countryside, and amazing storms in the spring time

As someone who is a Oklahoma City coaster enthusiast frontier city is always just a charming park to go to

To be fair, this park already looks great from the fact they have an arrow shuttle loop. I'm not even that much of an arrow fan but revolution at Blackpool PB is a great ride!

Your videos have, over the past year, become my favorites. You've got such great editing, voice-overs, and footage. I'm always impressed!

"There is only half a sky coaster so naturally it is only half the price" lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

How is this not an April fool's joke....

Frontier City was my home park all my life. It was a great, fun park to visit growing up, but now it's extremely underwhelming since I love coasters so much and the lineup isn't good at all. It has a lot of charm though which makes up for it. I miss it a lot because I haven't been back in years. Especially now since I just recently joined the Navy and have been away from home for a while now. Oklahoma is a wonderful state and I'm excited to hear that you'll be living there or close by. Have a good day!

Frontier City isn't a bad park, it's small but it's not bad. At 6:09 in the video, that big building behind the log flume use to be another rollercoaster called Nightmare. It was housed completely inside of that warehouse and was a pretty fun ride. They need to do something with that area as it hasn't been used since the rollercoaster closed down many years ago. Also, you mentioned Silver Dollar City is three hours away. Also about three hours away is Six Flags over Texas.

This park bring back so many memories. I remember it being a nice park in the mid-eighties but by 1999 it was rundown. The best part was the log flume ride and the theming. It’s funny he mentioned both my home parks, this one and Lagoon.

Yay its my birthday and a post! Thank You for all the uploads and this was a great present from my favorite KZfaqr!

Great video! I’m hitting it up Sunday and loved this video to prep for my adventure!

Frontier City seems like a nice park and your experience seems to solidify that. Surprised to hear that you are moving, but I hope for the best, though I feel that you were the most well known and my favorite California Coaster KZfaq channel. There are other great ones but I wish we had more.

So I wanted to add a few things here since i use to work at Frontier City and I was a Ride Operator for Silver Bullet. The reason why they have the water in those bins is Silver Bullet use to be a Carnival coster to where they would break it down move it to city to city and build it back up until Frontier city baught the coster for a low low price to save money. the Bins with water were suppose to be filled with concrete to make it more perm. but for whatever reason they just never done it. Of course that rollercoaster is extremely old loud and is showing its age but still alot of people love that coaster.

I’m shocked to hear you may move! 😲😢

WHAT?!?! You are moving out of Valencia and Metro LA. Hopefully everything will work out in the best way. Glad that my local park has an arrow shuttle loop. Keep Up The Great Work Chris and Stay Safe

I love the videos keep up the great work your my favorite coaster KZfaqr

You are an eternal optimist, Sir, and I salute you.

Ive been in Oklahoma my whole life and have have been going to frontier city since I was a kid! The silver bullet was my first coaster, so much love

I live in the DFW area and I've always enjoyed Frontier City for the reasons you mentioned. A fine charming little park. Hope to see you there or Six Flags Over Texas.

I hope life is treating you right Chris and you're looking at a potential move as an upgrade rather than out of necessity. If you're looking at the move as a way to save money and to fuel your youtube channel with easier access to more parks, that sounds awesome!

I have the great escape as a home park, and based on your analogy of the park, it seems very similar to great escape. I get that vibe with the theme, as well as the kiddie area and the wooden coaster

The weird thing is that Frontier City will give to a sense of Adventure since you know Magic Mountain will constantly be getting new additions and it will be exciting to see what come to the Park. Plus with then owning the Water Park down the road, you will have a better water park to also visit during your summer time and you will also have Six Flag over Texas to the south.

I love these style videos keep them up

Man, while it does suck that the best CA coaster enthusiast channel is moving to OK, I hope you enjoy your new home parks in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas!

The bright side if you do make the move is that you get a cool little park to take the kid to, and it’ll be much more affordable to plan coaster trips from OKC as opposed to LA.

That my home park! I haven’t been in years. Thanks for the videos. Newbie here.

At least you're being optimistic about the prospect of moving out near Frontier City. Seems like a good thing if you ever have to move away from something like Magic Mountain. Wishing you the best, and hope you enjoy your closer proximity to Silver Dollar City and Six Flags over Texas!

Camden Park in Huntington WV use to have Thunderbolt Express a shuttle loop the same as Diamondback

The good news about Oklahoma is you'd be somewhat central to some other big parks 👍

Frontier City's best days are actually behind it if the current trajectory plays out. They actually have land to work with if they took down the concert stage. The Nightmare indoor coaster used to be the best ride at the park. I remember this park firing on all cylinders in the 90s, but now it is a shell of its former self. Sadly, this park will continue to be a collection of carnival rides unless Six Flags puts a good coaster in.

I've been there before Chris. I only live 2.5 hours from it it's basically my home park. The first time I went I was little and would only ride steel lasso but the next time would end up being the trip where the journey began for my love for roller coasters. Wildcat got me over my fear as a younger kid and made me wanna ride silver bullet and then eventually get every credit at worlds of fun. So it holds a place in my heart. I am sad to say though that the last time I went diamondback was closed and back then before I started going into depth on coasters on KZfaq and watching channels like yours I didn't know how rare it was and now i'm dying to get on it and secure a very rare credit before they tear it down in the next 5 years.

The airtime on the back is sick, and the rest is super intense. Ive ridden the Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, and its one of my favourites.

Looks like a cool family park, and with the wildcat and some of the other rides, reminds me a little of the original Elitch Gardens.

Southern Californian fans will miss you.

Free Spin is the best option for the park. Good luck in Oklahoma. Never been to Frontier City, but I was just at Silver Dollar City and that is an awesome park!

I rode the Screamin Demon. in the 70's at Kings Island. I do not remember much about it. That shuttle looper would be a walk down memory lane for me.

Didn’t know you might be moving! Having magic mountain in biking distance is my dream, (or cedar point) but not everything lasts forever. I hope you can enjoy some of the smaller parks such as this, and maybe six flags will relocate a coaster this way.

OKC is not a terrible place to live. We do have some top tier museums and decent little art districts. After some exploration you will discover there is quite a bit more to this town than expected. As far as thrills are concerned Silver Dollar city is 3 hours away and Six Flags over Texas is also 3 hours away.

I'm one of the gunfighter at frontier city! Its an amazing job to have and lots of fun for the kids and adults that come!

I feel sorry for you bro 😂at least you got a decent looping coaster, I have brean as my local park....

Congrats on finally getting on an Arrow Shuttle loop!

Oklahoma City was a great city when I went, I never went to Frontier City but it looked like a great city and Frontier City looks like a great park for the city. I might be able to get to this park soon since it’s only 6 hours away but I haven’t had any coaster road trips (unless you count Disney) but I live just an hour away from St. Louis so Holiday World, Six Flags Great America, Kentucky Kingdom, Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun, Magic Springs, Adventureland, Frontier City, and of course Six Flags St. Louis are all at or under a 6 hour drive.

That's.. That's upsetting. From SoCal to Oklahoma. I'm sorry for your loss :(

Wildcat has been drained since forever. The brake was added to slow it down for the station, when the water was there it would slow it down instead. There used to be another coaster in the park called Nightmare Mine and it was my favorite, but apparently they stopped making replacement parts for it so it couldn't be maintained. It was an indoor coaster and its old building is used for storage and halloween events now.

You seriously might be moving to my hometown? I'm sure you'll make the best decision for you and your family. If you do end up here, then welcome. It'll be great to actually have a fellow coaster enthusiast nearby. There aren't many of us in the Tulsa area. Holiday World is going to get my to 439 credits, so you'll be staying ahead of me. I have had over 90% success rate with Diamond Back, with it only being closed for me once. I guess I'm the good luck charm for it. It was closed for me on re-opening day in June, as they were finally putting a roof over the station, which has been needed for decades.

Aw... but congratulations for moving. I wish I got to meet you at SFMM.

Awwww I wonder how sophie feels about moving Once she's ready you MUST take her back to SFMM and ride X2 And twisted colossus

That shuttle coaster you talked about, one exists *hopefully still* in the england park black pool pleasure beach, which i rode, and is extremely fun to do so

hells yea dr. pepper is always the best credit.

Looks like a dope little park!

Quite a shift from Magic Mountain to Frontier! Haven't been, but that park looks really nice. My home park is Slagharen in the Netherlands, which looks very similar to this, since Slagharen is also fully western themed. A bit of a word of advice from a a small home parker: don't go in expecting big additions like RMC Wildcat (although like you said that's very far fetched anyway, doubt the structure can handle it), instead expect smaller additions and maybe a medium sized one sometimes. Raptor would be a nice fit, but I'm not sure if Six Flags is going to invest much into this park. I would say appreciate the park for what it is, and don't expect massive additions, but appreciate everything the park gets :)

Chris, congrats on moving putting family over amusement parks. Hope it goes smoothly

I just traded my home parks Kings Island and Cedar Point for the Orlando parks and Busch Gardens Tampa.

love the video and the channel

OKC is a super fun city. It grew a ton the 4 years I lived down there and there are a lot of good restaurants. Never visited frontier city tho. Usually I would take the 3hr drive to Dallas for SFOT and make a weekend trip out of it.

I live in the Tulsa area and have never visited the park, either I haven't had the time or haven't thought of going, I've always ended up going to Six Flags Over Texas or Silver Dollar City, my former park used to be Carowinds until I moved in 2013 to Oklahoma so I know what it feels to loose being close to a big amusement park.

After watching several videos, you may see the keys be handed to another party in 15 years. I can just see the wrecking balls hitting Wildcat now... P.S.: I would replace it with a smaller GCI that is airtime-based and a few years later an Intamin Surfrider would go inside the Nightmare Mine building I would also do something similar to Dollywood by making employees characters. For example, some of the park security team would ride around on horseback and be dressed as sheriffs.

I love this park!! My favorite is the Steel Lasso and I think they should add more coasters for better entertainment

High praise for the layout of Steel Lasso- which is the same layout of all other (non extended) roller skaters. ;) Not to say it isn't actually good (it is for a kiddie coaster) but I've never heard it praised like that.

This feels like one of the parks close to me, which is Canobie Lake Park. Two solid coasters in Untamed and Yankee Cannonball, and then a rough as hell coaster that's down half the times in Corkscrew, and overall the park has some great theming, but I think they have an edge in flat rides with that pendulum, scrambler and Turkish Twist (one of those rides that gets you stuck on the wall). Also Boston Tea Party is a great water coaster.

Since six flags took over, i feel as though they might use the land in the back. They need to invest in frontier city because it very possible to make that park very popular again

Hey you made it to my home haha. As an okie not a great park but I had lots of fun as a kid.

I'd be interested in visiting this park one day even though I'am not sure what else there is to do in Oklahoma City. Maybe I could visit this for half a day and then visit nearby Hurricane Harbor during the other half of that day. Speaking of which, they need to relocate the kids water play area and the water slide complex inside Frontier City over to Hurricane Harbor and then build a new roller coaster or two in that old space.

4:41 So they were either a coaster enthusiast or just someone who’s very enthusiastic about coasters, and knows a lot about them, and likes to talk about them, and likes to share that knowledge with others, and enjoys learning about coasters, and is passionate about them? Did I get that right?

I remember riding the Lightnin' Loop at Six Flags Great Adventure with my dad when I was around 6 years old. I was totally not big enough for the ride, and I ended up slipping under the bar, and ended up widged on the floor when going backwards.

There used to be an Arrow Shuttle in Indiana that I rode all the time growing up. It was at this VERY SKETCHY park in Angola named FUN SPOT. The coaster was named AFTERBURNER.

I rode Diamond Back when it was the lower blue interlocking track of Lightning Loops at Six Flag Great Adventure in August of 1981, then Revolution in August of last year at Blackpool, although it had shorter trains.

This is my home park, I'd appreciate ANY coaster being added to this park

I grew up in OKC and Frontier City was always fun, but I'm pretty sure I actually went to Six Flags Over Texas more frequently. Same distance away as Silver Dollar City, but a straight shot down I-35; makes it really easy to access. Frontier City used to have an indoor coaster that I enjoyed, but maybe it has been removed. (I moved away in 2005.)

Loved that intro

My home park is six flags over Texas, but I love driving to frontier city or fiesta Texas. All 3 parks have their charm and I love all of the water parks in each city.

Damn RIP. Gonna miss seeing you around the park man

When I lived in Norman, OK in the early 2000s we would visit this park every Sunday with the kids. It is a great kids park!! It had a petting zoo in the 2000s but that may no longer be there.
