ACE South Central had a winter event at Six Flags Fiesta Texas yesterday and a member posted on Texas Thrill Seekers and shared it with the OKC local coaster club Central Plains Coaster Club that Frontier City is expanding on Wild West Water this season. The coaster train on Wildcat coaster is getting a complete overhaul, plus there will be new additions to Diamondback. (there was rumors that one of the additions is shade structure on the waiting platform). Other news that was reported is that there will be upgrades to the eating establishments and construction of additional restrooms. No brand new coaster but with the changing of the new ownership I can see a major addition happening next season when the park turns 60. The official announcement from the park will be made public on Wednesday this week.

 This is my personal guess not the actual new attraction.  My guesses by the clues is the 3 blind mice refer to a 3 slide trap door slide structure.  That is my guess. There is rumors that it will go into the area where Eruption once stood and that a lazy River will also be added to connect the play structure of Wild West Water Works with new Slide Structure.

This past November Ghatti Town was bought by a former owner Incredible Pizza. The indoor fun park reopened after extensive remodeling.  The all new Incredible Pizza has Bumper Cars,Go Kart Track, A spinning SBF ViSA coaster, A tilt-A-whirl style ride called Lost in Space. A kids area with kids ride called Tiny Town, Laser Tag, Miniture bowling alley, Large Arcade with redemption prizes. They are already expanding the place since the Church that was next door vacated. The all new addition will be adding a full size Scrambler, Miniture Golf Route 66 themed, Bounce Town a 8000 square foot inflatable area, plus expanding the Go Kart track and adding more Go Karts, with 30 more games to add to the already large arcade.  You will get plenty to eat at Incredible Pizza with their Pizza,Salad and Pasta bar. Incredible is OKC newest amusement park and it is all indoors.  Great thing to be added to OKC.

Frontier City has a new attraction they have started teasing this past week.  Sunday they posted a couple of photo on their FB page with the caption "All this snow might just melt into something we can use this summer... " To add onto the group two days before that on the Central Plains Coaster Club FB page Michael Shwitek posted a photo of 3 blind mice. with the caption.."Hhhmmm... " on that post in the comments another Manager posted a photo of another manager in Renegade Rapids with a hard hat on post it note in hand pointing towards the S.W. part of the park Wilcat area. So what does all these clues mean?  There will be more clues after I asked them in the comments section of inital post with the two photos. I'm guessing they will be expanding Wild West Water Works and possibly putting in a ride on the dry side.  Waiting for more clue to be posted I expect more to be posted later this week.

From what I understand by looking at this new company EPR they actually invest in companies well known in the entertainment industry.  Some of the companies they help financially back is Schlitterbahn Resorts, Top Golf Entertainment and AMC Movie Theater Chain here in the U.S.

So they've announced that it will be a Zamperla Power Surge after all. Seems to be a decent choice as the park needed a true thrill ride (the superloop sort of counts but is still pretty forceless).

I'm curious to see how it will be implimented. For all they've done with the place, they do kind of skimp on things sometimes, such as the way the flyers were scooped up and thrown into the park a couple years ago. I haven't seen the superloop in person, but it looks pretty plain. I hope this isn't just a used fair ground ride that they're going to build a deck around.

Now to really start wondering when the next coaster project will come. They've got the park fixed up, parking expanded, new thrill rides in place, new family coaster, new family water attraction... Seems like the next big addition will either be a big new family area or a coaster.

A fanclub page I follow on FB Central Plains Coaster Club.  One of the park managers posted pictures of off-season work even infrastructure work going on at the park. I'm glad they invest in stuff like that and show what they are doing during the off season.  Looks like the area where the new ride is going is being redone by the pictures that were posted.  It is replacing Rodeo Roundup which according to the park the age of the ride the parts for the ride are very expensive. (My take on that is I notice alot of parks across the nation have been getting rid of their old model HUSS Enterprises probably for the same reason the cost to maintain.) The Sidewinder(scrambler)  it's neighbor is getting refurbished. That has been the trend with this park the past 3 seasons.  Add a new ride and refurbish a older ride.    Gunslinger I understand will be using some of the parts from the old ride that held that same name years ago for decorations.  I'm interested in seeing what changes they make to the area. One of the pictures shows demolition at the front entrance. From what I understand in the comments  The front entrance is getting new planters conduit and minor changes  because of the age of the park.  I like seeing that the park does invest money not just on rides but also on infrastructure.

I spoke with Paul really nice kid he has been in the boneyard he said the old Tomahawk has been scrapped and there is just pieces. The Six Shooter (YoYo swings) could still be rebuilt.  All the pieces are still there Frontier City has been doing alot to refurbish or restore old and dated rides.  He speculates the turn back time posts on Frontier City Facebook page is also a hint to them bringing back the ride.  Before they took it out for Steel Lasso there was nothing wrong with the ride it was just removed for the new coaster in 2008.  So like him we are speculating the ride is going to be rebuilt and refurbished and be erected where eruption once sat which would make sense this ride would be a ride kids could ride while their older siblings ride Wildcat or Silver Bullet. You think last year they added Brain Drain Larson Loop in addition Casino(Trabant ride) it was rehabbed and refurbished.  2014 the Winged Warrior was added and Tumbleweed (Rotor Ride) was refurbished and rebuilt. Wildcat got some updated track work and station restoration. Signage on the coaster.   His Coaster Club Central Plains Coaster Club everyone in the club is on the same page by the clue posted on Frontier City facebook page and the exclusive clue posted on the club FB page  that Rodeo Roundup will be removed and a New Endeavor ride will be erected on the RR spot. It's just wait and see I'm so glad the park is doing these upgrades to the park.  Keep it fresh the management they have had the past 4 years care deeply about the park and it shows throughout the park the work they have done Frontier City is great again.

I follow Frontier City very closely its my home park.  I joined a local club that follows the park also and my speculation by the clues and exclusive clues the park posted on the club page. Plus the clue they posted on FB is that it a strong possibility that it is a Zamp. Endeavor.  Now in addition I think because one of the clues on that club page there was a (...) at the end of the clue like there is more.  Frontier City has been the past two years taken a older ride and refurbishing and rebuilding the ride.  Last season it was the Casino which looks very sharp with it new panels and light package.  It was completely rebuilt and along with that ride they added Brain Drain.  In 2014 they added Winged Warrior a Flying Scooter ride and that same season they refurbished their Chance Rotor ride that sat unused for several years.  They refurbished the rotor and called it Tumble Weed.  I think they are continuing this trend this time they had to replace Rodeo Roundup because of that certain HUSS model it is not serviceable or the part to repair the old ride is very expensive.   They are replacing it with this new ride that could be a Endeavor.  The ride I think they are referring in the picture teaser is the ride picked for its overhaul and refurbishment this season. It is the former Six Shooter. I have a feeling that it may actually be placed in the old foot print of the former drop ride Eruption that sits next to Wildcat.

This is my local park and this park hands down has to be the cleanest nicest small park in the nation.  I go about twice a week and they have done so much to this park you want to go not just to ride the rides. Their shows are highly entertaining a must to see while visiting. Most are themed to Oklahoma and the west.  The staff is very interactive and friendly I have not had a problem. I was with my best friend one day out of the blue a associate walking by greeted me and my friend and he even was very courteous to my girlfriend. He shook my hand and asked the two of us how our visit was that day.  You don't see that a themepark anywhere except maybe a Disney Park.  The landscaping the overall cleanliness of the park on a scale of 1 to 10 was a 11. They have one heck of team.   If you want the total package while visiting a themepark visit Frontier City. They deliver a first class Park experience.
