Frontier City Theme Park
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. It is owned by CNL
Income Properties and operated by PARC Management. Frontier
City is currently the only theme park in Oklahoma.
On January 27, 2006, Six Flags put Frontier City and White
Water Bay, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Elitch Gardens, Darien
lake, a couple waterparks, and Wild Waves/Enchanted Village for
sale. At the same time, Six Flags also announced its plan to
close corporate offices in Oklahoma City and move to New York
City. Six Flags CEO Mark Shapiro had said he expected the parks
to continue operation after the sale. But rumors surfaced that
some of them could close.
On January 11, 2007, Six Flags opted to keep Magic Mountain
but then announced that it would sell Frontier City and White
Water Bay, along with Elitch Gardens, Darien Lake, Splashtown
near Houston, and Wild Waves/Enchanted Village to PARC
7F-Operations. As a part of the deal, the Six Flags prefix was
removed from the names of Elitch Gardens and Darien lake.
Frontier City and White Water bay were never branded as Six
Flags parks.
