Saturday, my 18 year old son and I had the opportunity to visit Frontier City....a place that we haven't been to in over 10 years.
We were there because the Oklahoma City Employees Association....an organization withing the City, was having their annual picnic there. As members of the OCEA, we were able to get a discount. For only $10, we got to park, get admittance to the park, and we got to eat all of the brisket we wanted.
I could not believe that parking normally cost $10. Plus, I have no idea what the normal admittance fee is.
Things have really changed since I had been there last. There were quite a few new rides (new to me and my son), and the place looked much cleaner than I remembered before.
The prices for food and drink was certainly high. If you were to buy a 20 oz. soft drink out of the machine, it would cost you $3.50.
We watched a few of the "thrilling" rides......rides that I would never, ever, get on. Just watching them made me queezy. The only thing we rode was the big ferris wheel. I am not much on heights, so I did have to close my eyes a little until we got to the top.
Then, when we got to the very top, we were surrounded by about 20-30 wasps. Then, the ferris wheel stopped, so we just sat very still, not to get the attention of the flying pests.
Actually, neither my son or I are very big fans of any rides. Anything that goes fast, puts me upside down, or turns me round and round...I will not get on (that eliminates most of the rides).
Overall, I feel that the park was nice, although you can tell that there are some things that are outdated. We were there for about 4 hours, so we got the chance to see quite a few things. The best part of the whole trip was being able to spend some good, quality time with my son, and getting the chance to just talk to him. We have a very good relationship, and this trip to Frontier City just proved it even more.
