Took part of the family to Frontier City for the first time in forever. I really think it might have been 9 years ago since my last visit. The park really hasn't added too much (brain drain, steel lasso, winged warrior, quick draw, and wild west water works) and lost a few things (mindbender, swings, hangman, nightmare, sling shot, time warp).
One thing I did notice this time around, that was different from our last visit, is only one ride wasn't operational - everything else was working great. Eveything was looking great too! Clean, landscape looked good, buildings looked good, employees were nice, the park is definately better than 9 years ago.
What made it even more amazing to me, was the park was able to maintain a great atmosphere despite being outrageously crowded. Now if you don't know who R5 is, just know they are the new rage of all the young girls in America.....and all the families and parents of these girls were in the park today (us included) to see the free R5 concert.
To give you an idea on how crowded it was, the asphalt parking lot was completely full, as was the old RV park, and the big empty grass lot south of the park, and all the vacant lots to the north of the park, etc. If you could fit a car somewhere, it was filled. But inspite of the crowd, the lines moved, you were served at the resturants, and the place was clean.
Anyhow, if this park can bring crowds like this in each weekend, then invest in a new bigger ticket attraction (shot tower, coaster, etc.) they could really become a nice little park. Seems like they might finally have the right management group running the park.
