Waterpark

A waterpark is an amusement park that provides water features such as slides, rides, water cannons, and wave pools. Some water parks have water rides that will take people around the park and drop the rider into the water. They can be located entirely inside, entirely outside or a combination of both.

In order to capitalize on the most possible tourist revenue, many sites have now implemented indoor water parks that will allow tourists to enjoy the water park year round. Cities worldwide have adopted this as a lucrative business to bring to their theme parks. Many of the states in the United States are bringing in new indoor water parks.http://www.indoorwaterparks.net/ New Mexico has just gotten their first indoor water park through the Radisson Hotel in Albuquerque. This Radisson Hotel water park has five pools and a double slide.

There is the Splish Splash Waterpark in New York that is 96 acres of water rides and water play areas. There is a water slide tunnel, just announced and it will have a 40-foot drop. There are also 360-degree spins in this ride. These water parks can be on the adventurous side. However, they can still be enjoyed by smaller children as they have included kiddie’s slides and a lagoon area for swimming. http://www.splishsplashlongisland.com/pages/rides.html

The same is true all over the world. Hotels, resorts, and cities have opened their own water park to bring in tourists and provide them with ...

Roller Coasters

Currently operating

Frontier City currently has four major operating roller coasters and one children's coaster.

  • Steel Lasso, a Vekoma family coaster that opened July 17, 2008 in celebration of Frontier City's 50th Anniversary. The Steel Lasso is the first, and currently the only, suspended roller coaster in Oklahoma. It has a top speed of 29.2 MPH and maximum height of 49 feet (15 m).
  • The Wildcat is a wood hybrid "out and back" coaster consisting of a wooden track with structural steel supports. Originally built in 1968, it was designed by Aurel Vaszin and Edward Leis of the National Amusement Device Company for Fairyland Park in Kansas City, MO. It was relocated to Frontier City in 1991 and was one of the first complete relocations of a wooden coaster. The original coaster was modified to fit the terrain of the current site. In 1999, the original NAD trains were replaced by new Philadelphia Toboggan Company trains. The Wildcat is 75 feet (23 m) in height and has a first drop of 65 feet (20 m). Its track length is 2,653 feet (809 m) and maximum speed reached is 46 MPH.
