Frontier City is looking better every time I see it. It doesn't look like much, but the new owners have put a TON of work into the place. It wasn't worth visiting just a couple of years ago because every inch of the park was in so much decay. I think they've re-painted just about every single ride now, not to mention they've refurbished the dark ride extensively and even added a new coaster. I never thought I'd see the day that happened. I just wish they could turn their attention back to adding a worthy thrill ride - the OKC crowd is ready for something new.

Title: Re: Swoosh's 2010 PTR Thread
Post by: Swoosh on June 14, 2010, 05:28:03 AM

^They have to be careful on what they DO add though.  The infrastructure to eat up any crowd that might come due to a huge new thrill ride is not there.  Every single coaster is very low on pph considering they only have one train for each.  There is a very limited amount of flat rides and honestly the amount of restrooms and "open and functioning" places to eat is very small considering the size of the park.  I agree the park is turning around slowly, but still has a long way to go before it is even a "blip" on the radar for anyone other then the extreme locals.  Shoot I know people from the area that would rather travel to WOF, SDC or SFoT then go to FC

I always hated FC when I lived there.  I've been back a time or two in the last 15 years, for my dad's company picnics, and definitely would not pay more than two bucks to go there.  It is a great place to pick up teenage girls, though (if you're a teenage boy, that is).  That is the demographic of the visitors.  It can't compete with the likes of SDC without a major image makeover to include more sophisticated attractions for adults (besides rides) and greater attention to theming.  There are bunches of things that could go with Oklahoma's history that could be included, and some terrific festivals that could be included.  The best times I've had there were when I was too young to know better, and during one of their first haunted seasons (of course, I was in that younger demographic then).  FC is everything I hope SDC does not become by just bringing in a ride and creatively naming to justify its inclusion into the theme (Gotta do more than that to make it work correctly.).  And I, too, am baffled by the inclusion of Paul Bunyan; that kids area used to be more appropriately themed and was a part of the park that I enjoyed.

^Yes it has -- but at the same time I have not been able to get to the local parks as much this summer... I guess it's a trade off.  Not been to SDC since the 50th weekend.  'Course I don't really like going during Kidsfest anyway.

More to come.  It just takes a bit of time to get these together.  ;D

Things look pretty good at the California parks...especially since Governor Arnold is considering cutting back many state workers pay to minimum wage! I guess despite the economy, the weather is always sunny in CA!

Thanks for all the St. Louis pictures...I'm a native St. Louisan...lived in north St. Louis County (Hazelwood) up to my 10th birthday. (Hazelwood was a new neighborhood at the time, and mom and dad bought a just constructed home...3 bedrooms, eat in kitchen, living room, bathroom, and unfinished basement...in 1961 for the huge sum of $15,000!) All those shots of the zoo, arch, AB Brewery, and the stadium are something else. The zoo has changed a lot, the stadium...it didn't exist when I lived up there. I do have fond memories of the old Busch Stadium, ya know, the one where the Cardinals (football) played in and where the Beatles did a show.

The Sealion exhibit is supposed to be open 2012, and the bears in 2013

Saw you came to visit us in OKC (Frontier City) back in June. My kids love SDC but are letdown by frontier city. What do you think we should suggest to Frontier city's management to make it better.

Here's what I think.

1.) Anamatronic bears gotta go.
2.) Singing and Dancing is OK, but I want music that is in theme (old cowboy music) and live (guitars,fiddles, etc)
3.) a street troupe would be awesome

without these kind of improvements, it's just a poor mans six flags

Title: Re: Swoosh's 2010 PTR Thread
Post by: marolinesdad on October 04, 2010, 11:38:39 AM

Title: Re: Swoosh's 2010 PTR Thread
Post by: okiebluegrass on October 04, 2010, 12:08:59 PM

They kinda work... every once in a while. I hate those things though. Put a live band in there place, and that would do a lot to improve things. I'm biased though; I'm always on the hunt for more gigs.

Title: Re: Swoosh's 2010 PTR Thread
Post by: Swoosh on October 04, 2010, 04:48:34 PM

Personally, this is what I think needs to happen at this park.

1. Completely rip out and redo the kiddie area.  Add a Zamperla ride package and be done with it.
2. Fix the rapids ride or rip it out and put something new in there.
3. Remove all the remenants of the go-cart track and put something new in there.
4. Remove Nightmare Mine's building.  That is prime real estate that is being wasted.
5. Fix (and keep it fixed) ErUPtion or get rid of it.
6. Move Diamondback's entrance to outside of the main store.  It makes no sense for it to be there.
7. Remove the Stunt Show & Arena, it's past its prime and is not worth even watching.

---
8. ADD rides from Zamperla that the whole family can ride together.
9. ADD rides that have higher PPH capacity
10. ADD a Marquee rollercoaster, even if the rollercoaster is a used Corkscrew

Title: Re: Swoosh's 2010 PTR Thread
Post by: okiebluegrass on October 04, 2010, 05:05:36 PM

I know Frontier city went through a bankruptcy and the park was sold a couple of years ago. I heard a lot of the employees worked for a month without getting paid.

I agree on most of those points. Eruption will always have issues. It's tough for them to get the weight distribution right (awesome ride though). I think they could make the wild west show a stage and have different shows in there.
