and White Water Bay
Oklahoma City
Owned by CNL Lifestyles Properties
Managed by Premier Attractions Management
Park News - (12/1/11) FrontierCityThrills reports that the land just north of the parking lot has been cleared out. Not sure if this is for a parking lot expansion or something more.
(6/29/11) According to a report at FrontierCity411’s Facebook page, there was a minor malfunction on Frontier City’s ErUPtion ride involving one of the ride’s cables. The ride functioned as designed during the malfunction and brought the rider pod back to the ground. No injuries have been reported, but no word on if the malfunction was just something that kept the ride closed for the rest of the day, or if it will be closed for the near future while awaiting a repair.
(3/2/11) The local news has run a story about how Story & Burke are planning to return Frontier City to prominence. While there isn’t time to add a new attraction to the park for the 2011 season, they will focus on improving the overall park experience.
(2/24/11) According to the Frontier City 411 Facebook page, the park has confirmed that the “Indian Canoes” will be returning to Kiddie Land for the 2011 season.
(1/27/11) The new name for Story & Burke’s management group is, Premier Attractions Management, LLC. According to CNL, Premier will be taking over the management of not only Frontier City and White Water Bay, but also Splashtown in Houston.
(1/26/11) BlooLoop reports that the former heads of Six Flags, Gary Story and Kieran Burke, have signed a deal with CNL to begin managing Frontier City and White Water Bay. This brings the duo back to their roots, as they started the Premier Parks chain that eventually bought Six Flags by with the acquisition of these two parks back in 1991.
 2012 - New Attraction - Rumor - (1/6/12) A picture of the new banner up at Frontier City can be seen on the Frontier City 411 Facebook page. When the ‘water’ splash theme on the sign, it seems a sure bet that the new attraction will get you wet.
(1/4/12) Frontier City posted a new 2012 hint on their Facebook page, telling readers to check out the Wildcat the next time you drive by. Those that do will now find a sign attached to the side that says, “Frontier City is going to get a lot cooler”.
So, is the park looking to add a cold themed attraction, or add something “cool” like a small waterpark style addition? A Water Fortress with a few attached slides perhaps?
(12/9/11) A reader went past Frontier City the other day and sent in this picture o
f what looks to be a core drill truck conducting soil tests, very close to Wildcat. Could this be the site of the park’s next big ride?
(12/7/11) Frontier City teased a new addition for 2012 on their Facebook page a few hours ago saying, “The holidays are just around the corner and a little elf just told me that Frontier City is getting something big under the tree for next year. Hmm.... wonder what it could be?????”
(10/28/11) A quick correction on the last Frontier City update. I’ve been told that the Go Karts have been closed for several years now, and are not located next to any employee lot, so this is unrelated to whatever survey markings that may have been found in the lot.
(10/27/11) While nothing has been announced for Frontier City for the 2012 season, a local source has noted that some survey markings have been spotted in or near the employee parking lot. Could something new be on the way to this general location?
