In Short:

With a Wild West theme, Frontier City is Oklahoma City's premiere amusement park. It originally opened in 1958, utilizing the western town created for the Oklahoma State Fair, and quickly became a top city attraction.

Owned and operated by Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc. before being sold in early 2007 to CNL Lifestyle Properties, Frontier City will be managed by former owners Kieran Burke and Gary Story beginning in 2011.

The park boasts roller-coasters, other thrill rides, children's rides, games, concerts and more.

Location:

Frontier City is located in northeast Oklahoma City along I-35, between Hefner Road and NE 122 Street. After exiting I-35, get on N I-35 Service Road.
