Frontier City Theme Park

This theme park is alright. I’ve been to it for many years and it keeps seeming to get smaller and smaller. From my perspective, this amusement park is for adults, younger kids and bigger kids that are afraid of roller coasters. In my opinion, the best ride in the park is called The Wildcat. It’s an old woodie that used to be at a different amusement park before it was moved. During the line wait, there’s pictures and history of a other popular roller coasters. We also went to a free concert. I believe it was Toby Mac. Overall had a great time, last time I went.

This is a fun place to spend some time with the family. We love coming on a weekend and taking it easy. A season pass pays for itself after just 2 or 3 visits.

Pay Less Expect Less and enjoy the theme.
It has everything good for a perfect day — Games, Rides, Shows, Food and the Shop.
Spent Independence day at the park it was great, enjoyed rides and wild west shows and finally to end the day great fireworks and show.
Dont compare it would with Universal or Disney pay half and even have a great day

Visited from Wichita on a very hot July day. There is lots of shade and many indoor spaces that you can sneak into. It wasn’t too crowded and the lines were short. My kids enjoyed it for the most part but they’re in between the target audience for the rides I would say. They only liked a few of the kids rides and were too little or too scared for the other rides.
The food is pretty pricey and we couldn’t really find very much variety but they’re staff is amazing at giving out free ice waters.
The kids that run the rides have to do a lot of triple checks when starting the rides which takes excessive time. I know they do this for safety but really it’s only a routine that o know they’re required to do and they’re just going through the actions. If they could speed up that process it would be nice.
The little water park that was added is really nice for kids. Tons of chairs and shade and appears very safe for just letting the kids run around. Lots of lifeguards as well. This was very relaxing at the end of a super hot day.

We had not ventured to FC since our kiddos were little. Attempting to stay local for a staycation, we decidd to treat our city like visitors and hit all tge spots one might try on vacation. That said, we decided Frontier City would probably be a must see… Luckily, we got discount tickes through my credit union or it would have been twice the let down.
The park was not busy at all so luckily we did not have to wait more than a few minutes for the extremely dissapointing rides. As we love Six Flags in Arlington, we must have set our sites too high.
Positives: the park was very clean. There was plenty of shade. You will never go hungry here if you have plenty of $$. The restrooms were well tended too. The splash waterpark is great if you have little kiddos with you.
Cons: They literally have more restaurants than rides. The rides they had were more befitting a parking lot carnival. Most attendants were completely oblivious to the patrons. The worst part was that so many of the rides were closed and others were so poorly attended we walked away.
Save your money. Drive to Arlington. May only be worth it if you have kids under 10 years old or if you want to catch one of the free concerts that come with admission. Many if the decorations look like they have not been replaced or repaired since the 70s or 80s.

My husband and I with our 3 boys ages 15 to 23 visited for the 1^st time on July 3^rd and we loved it! Had a great time, especially since it wasn’t crowded when we got there. We were ready to go by 5 and that’s when the crowds started but we figured that with the free concert that night. The staff was friendly and the ride lines weren’t long. The food is over priced but that’s to be expected for an amusement park but another plus is they sell cold beer!
We will be visiting again for sure!

Not impressed! My family and I attended recently in June 2015, and were not very pleased with the experience. It was difficult to find your way around, the maps were pointless unless you’d already been to the park. After being there an hour we finally found the kids section which was not clearly marked on the map.
Our meal was $ 27 for two cheeseburgers which were cold, the cheese wasn’t melted! the fries were mediocre, two waters a cookie. The employees looked bored and downright unhappy to be there. My four year old daughter said to me after seeing one of the employees serving our food, «she’s not happy, momma.» If my four year old sees it, it’s definitely something!
We wondered why no one was at the park, now we get it! Don’t waste your money!

My husband and I visited Frontier City on Memorial Day and I was struck how un-​crowded it was. This park is a smaller amusement park packed with fun!
There are four roller coasters, a log flume, water rides, and many other traditional rides. The park also has a wide variety of eateries and shops.
If we’re talking value for dollar, this place can’t be beat. I purchased one day park tickets at our local AAA office for fifty dollars. Our lunch was cheeseburgers, fries, and drinks which came to $ 12 for two people.
We enjoyed this theme park and would visit again.

We recently moved to OKC and this was our first time to go to FC. The petting zoo and several rides were closed, but there were plenty of others open to have a great time. We ended up upgrading to season passes by the end of the day because we are definitely going to be spending a lot of time there this summer. I have to give a thumbs up to Kylee at the Kiddie Indian Canoes. She was super sweet to all the kids and was working harder than any other ride operator I saw. Another thumbs up to the guy at the swinging Pirate ship for making the ride even better by showing us a cool magic trick and making us laugh. I went to Disney World and Universal Studios earlier this year and of course it doesn’t compare to that, but neither does the expense. Definitely worth it if you live nearby.

Honestly, comparing this place to six flags, it’s not that great; however, comparing this place to the Oklahoma state fair, it is amazing. General admission is $ 40. There is a couple «extreme» rides that are extra when you go in the door. There is only about 3 roller coasters, if you don’t count the water coasters. There is a lot of eating places when you first walk in, but they are very simple and empty restaurants. The area kind of reminds me of a play house, where the food is plastic and your playing dress up. Many of these «restaurants» which are part of a town (Wild West theme) are only Hollywood props. The lines are not long at all!!! Then again, it was raining the day we went. At the end of the day, I had fun. I would recommend this place.

I have been to a LOT of amusement parks. Frontier City is not as big as some, but it is, by far, the best value for the dollar! Great for families. Lots of fun on a date. Great concerts all summer. The FrightFest event at Halloween time is great fun for all (I hope you like being scared). Good rides. Great food (get the BarBQ, potato salad and fried okra!!). Great shows in the Opera House — see the magic show — and in the saloon (where I like to just have a cold beer and hang out when it’s hot). Don’t forget the water park!
Look: just go. Some of the friendliest staff I have ever experienced.

No, it’s NOT six flags, but if it were it would be packed every day and ride lines would be super long. I bought season passes for my three kids (ages 7,8,13) last summer and we went pretty often, the kids like it better than white water, but it’s nice to have the option to switch it up and the pass holder coupons sure made it nice to bring friends and visiting relatives! The rides are fun and during weekdays, particularly, the lines are short. Concerts aren’t top billing, but we love going to see Three Dog Night when they play. They always have several bands that are enjoyable. Also, since the addition of the Wild West Water Works, which is a very nice no standing water splash pad with waterslides, it makes it a really nice way to cool off after riding a bunch of rides and walking around the park. Yes, I get right up there with the kiddos and cool off and then feel comfortable just letting them run around and play while I read, there is only one entrance and it’s a long one, through a gift shop, so I feel very safe, also, it seems to be better staffed with life guards than white water. The park is kept clean, even the bathrooms, and toward the front of the park there is an eatery that has a season pass holder $ 5 combo meal. We always get 2 refillable season cups and just refill them with ice water, free, or soda/​lemonade is $ 1. Passes will also get you into Fright Fest, which was a lot of fun with a bunch of ghouls wandering around the park and a trick or treat trail for kiddos under 12, and the smaller haunted houses were a blast. Unless they change the main haunted house (which is housed in the retired inside roller coaster «the nightmare,» — awesome) the wait time was ridiculously long. I would suggest going right before the close it or just enjoying the other festivities. We waited for an hour and were no where close to getting in, which, frankly, is the only thing (other than the log ride) at Frontier City I’ve really had to wait long enough to ever get annoyed with before. They ended up refunding our money when we complained enough and we just enjoyed the park instead. For families with very young children they have a really fun toddler and little kid area with a mini rollercoaster, a huge climb it, kiddie canoes, swings and more. We always have a lot of fun. Check out the magic show, the gun fight and some of the reviews as well, they’re fun and can help change up the experience a little, especially if you go very often. We had a friend (our kids adorable babysitter) who was one of the show girls in the 2 Johns Saloon show and they wholly enjoyed watching her perform over and over again. If you’re expecting a huge amusement park you may feel let down, so I am telling you, this isn’t Disneyland… but for a laid back fun day with the family or a group of friends, it’s a really good time. And the season tickets can be really worth it for a long season (the park is open through the first weekend in November! Though only on weekends after schools start).

I had fun here but I would suggest this place more for a family outing than a younger couple or group looking for thrills. I went on every ride and some of them were fun, but nothing compared to say Six Flags. If I had a friend visit with kids, I would go back. But for almost $ 40 a pop, no way! Find a discount coupon, cause honestly the admission is expensive and even if I only paid $ 20 to get in, I would be a bit peeved. On a positive note the food was decent.

Oklahoma City Theme Park is truly a fun place to go. With lots of rides and shows, there is fun to be had by all.

My thoughts on Frontier City vs White Water Bay: Frontier City (FC) with the addition of Wild West Water Works (WWWW) is way more fun than White Water Bay (WWB). WWB is unorganized (tubes of different sizes not in appropriate places, just thrown about) causing confusion that made my daughter cry within 5 minutes of being there. She said the girl was rude to her. When I went to talk to her, she waved me away and said she would talk to her supervisor about it. $ 10 for a daily locker rental is asking way too much when over at FC at the WWWW it’s only $ 2. In conclusion I believe that for my money, I would rather go to FC. Hopefully management at WWB will step their game up and get the employees to stop being rude and maybe get better organization of their tubes and employees.

I have been to many amusement parks and theme parks all over the states. Such as Six Flags over Texas, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Seaworld, Universal Studios in both California and Florida, and many small ones. I can say that all the parks I’ve been to is not as fun as this one.
It is true that Frontier City can’t compete with other major parks for the size, the number of rides, or the thrill level. But I would still prefer to go to a smaller and local park such as this to have fun and thrill than wait in line for hours to get on a ride in a crowded park.
If you are looking for the max thrill I would suggest you find the park that has the tallest and the fastest coaster. You can’t compare Frontier City to Six Flags or other major parks. It’s like you are comparing with the casinos in between Oklahoma and Vegas or comparing between a 3-​star hotel and a 5-​star hotel.
For as much fun and good service you can get, this is the place.

A recent «trip» to Frontier City has me taken to writing my one star review in song. Encouraged by fellow Unilocal tastemaker and one star reviewer Jeff M., I decided to write a song parody in a feeble attempt to explain my experience, or lack thereof, at Frontier City. I thought Lana Del Rey’s «Summertime Sadness» would sum up nicely my disdain for Frontier City. Please excuse my shoehorning and awful pardoy but this is all I could come up with in 5 minutes. I will explain in more detail below what will no doubt be remembered as the summer song of 2013.
«Summertime Sadness»
Tell me this before I go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
Frontier City you’re the worst
I got my flip flops on today
Dancing in the sun and nice fall day
Done got my tickets and parking online
Saving some bucks, I’m feeling alive
Oh, my God, I see it in the air
Outdated sign above is blazing like a flare
Honey, I’m on fire, I feel it everywhere
Closed for a private event
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Tell me this before I go
Summertime sadness
I just wanted you to know
Frontier City you’re the worst
I’ve got that summertime, summertime sadness
S-​s-​summertime, summertime sadness
Got that summertime, summertime sadness
Oh, oh oh oh
I’m feelin’ apopleptic tonight
Laying down my coin for ’bout 85
Flick my bic baby by my devilish side
I know if aflame, I’ll die happy tonight
Oh, my God, I see it in the air
Outdated sign above is blazing like a flare
Honey, I’m on fire, I feel it everywhere
Closed for a private event
After an excruciatingly long night at the «Great State Fair of Oklahoma,» I felt cheated — I never once had the opportunity to ride a ride! Granted, neither I nor my date really did as most of the rides at the fair are about as safe and appealing as friendly game of Russian roulette. However, we felt cheated. So, the next day I (naively) thought that we would partake in that other Oklahoma experience — Frontier City!
Yes, I know and have known that Frontier City pretty much sucks and have gone since I was a child always leaving disappointed. But, when in Rome (or OKC) Frontier City it is! And the fact that my date had never experienced Frontier City I decided it would be just the thing for a couple of hours of mediocre fun. I jumped online to see about purchasing tickets and booyah — tickets and a parking pass were a bit cheaper! I proceeded to make my purchase and we were off the the races.
As we approached the park in childlike wonder and amazement we noticed the bold sign stating that it was «Closed Today For Private Event.» I was aghast! How could this be? It must be a silly mistake seeing as how I had just purchased my non transferable, non refundable day of issue tickets online just an hour before. Low and behold it was closed! And my tickets were not good! I promptly contacted their customer service to see what I was to do and was scolded by a rude and condescending customer service agent that this day had been «clearly marked on their calender since last December!» Now, I’m not a smart man. I just appear brilliant and creative on my Unilocal reviews but I’ll be damned if I didn’t peruse that site and saw nary a mention of a closure — much less was able to buy the aforementioned tickets! Not to worry they assured me — the same day admission was incorrect. The bar code on my tickets (and parking pass) will work any day the park is open.
Call me a bit of a skeptic as I have a feeling were I to arrive at another date it would be scanned and denied by whatever elderly gassbag they have working at the gate! So, I simply asked for a refund only to be told there are no refunds! At this point, I was livid but they wouldn’t budge… no refund for me, just the promise of another day. Well, by now I’d realized the error of my ways and quite frankly this outdated park sucks and is overpriced and I really don’t even relish the idea of returning. I should have manned up and lit my tickets on fire in the parking lot — it would have given me more satisfaction than a few hours at this middling theme park would have.
Oh Frontier City how I loathe thee. If you do decide to go to this horrid amusement park be sure and check their nebulous calendar to see if it is closed as their ticketing software isn’t intuitive enough to be linked to their closure dates. Or, maybe I am a complete simpleton as was implied by the rude telephone staff.

Even as a child (actually, a very young teenager) filled with wide-​eyed wonder and innocence, I remember thinking that Frontier City was pretty lame. I brought a friend here last summer. We pulled into the parking lot, stepped out of the car, got a good look at the park (and the visible rides) and noticed how empty, sad, and boring it looked. It was quickly decided that we could easily find something much more fun to do. On the way out, I was forced to still pay for parking, even though we were there for a maximum of three minutes.
If this place is the best amusement park you’ve been to, I feel sad for you. This is where you take your children if you want to teach them early on that:
1. life isn’t fair.
2. their loved ones are going to disappoint them often.
Your really young children may not figure it out right away, but one day they’ll look back and remember that you took them to Frontier City, and it will dawn on them that they were unwanted and unloved. If you love them, make the extra effort and drive to Six Flags over Texas.
Okay, so all of that up there may have been a tad on the melodramatic side… But seriously, this place sucks.

Here’s the skinny:
This is probably a wonderland to an Okie who’s never been to better amusement parks. But in the grand scheme of things, Frontier City doesn’t cut it. I even thought this before I stepped foot out of state.
The rides are –terrifying-​, but not because they’re supposed to be. Any time I went, a ride was either already broken and shut down for a certain period of time, or it broke while I was –on– it! Then I guess it would be fixed and opened to ride the very same day, just to break down again and again and again. Uh? No thanks!
Of course like any park, the food and drink prices are outrageous but at least at Universal and Six Flags it was –good-​.
Great place for homestuck Okies.

This park is pretty lame if you’ve been to bigger theme parks like Six Flags or Seaworld. We rode everything and walked the whole park in 4 hrs and that includes riding some rides twice and a lunch break. The «thrill rides» were tamed and nothing was exciting.
My lunch costed $ 12 and all I got was a cold burger and cold fries. All the employees looked extremely bored and some were downright rude. Do not ride the Diamondback rollercoaster, you will get a major headache and end up regretting getting in line. I also heard other kids complaining about how much their head hurt while getting off the ride.
I will not go back to this place. I had a free day and thought I’d experience it. Now that I have, I don’t recommend it.
