Dragon Slayer (Adventureland)

Time to check back in at Adventureland.  First, the Dragon is still standing from the station through the loops.  Second, most of the supports have now been moved to areas that are harder to see from the midway.  This is about as good as it gets unless you're on Tornado.

Today we are going to focus on the track that is visible and explain why we think that this is indeed track for a 4D Free Spin Coaster.

First you need to notice how the track is in an "L" shape.  If this was a RMC Raptor, it would be more in a "I" (with cross beam top and bottoms) shape.

Next you should notice how the track is almost exclusively straight.  This is a common characteristic of Free Spin Coasters

Lastly the connecting plates match those found on the Joker clones at Six Flags parks.  You have a plate on top (left side of the picture) that features 3 holes.  The plates visible in the middle of the photo have 6 holes and they are connection plates for the sides.

The final picture show parts that would be seen in the load / unload area.  I have to admit that this is an exciting addition to the park, and we cannot wait to see it go vertical with construction.

Riptide Raceway (OOF)

They have attached the tops of the slides for Riptide Raceway.  It appears that there is still some work to do on the lower sections of the slide complex, but they are getting closer

Frontier City

Welcome to OKC's Frontier City

This is probably one of the most themed parks in the Six Flags park portfolio

This is Steel Lasso, a Vekoma junior suspended coaster

Here you can see the "social distancing" the park is doing in order to be able to reopen.  They are only loading odd number rows.

This is Silver Bullet, the park's Schwarzkopf looper

This is probably my favorite coaster at the park

The park's lone wooden coaster is the Wildcat

Again you can see the "social distancing" with only the odd rows being loaded with park guests.

The park also has a decent collection of flat rides, including Sidewinder

Gunslinger

Quick Draw is an indoor shooting ride.

The park has a large ferris wheel towers over the southern section of the park

Tin Lizzies have a path that circles around the hill that the ferris wheel is located on

Tornado

Dodge Em bumper cars

Brain Drain

Prairie Schooner

Casino

 

Winger Warriors - and yes, they are "snappable"

The park has an upcharge powered zipline that flies over the front part of the park

The park's train passing by the old Tumbleweed rotor ride (that no longer operates)

Grand Carousel

Last year's new addition was the new Timber Town section

This is the area that contains all of the kiddie rides

Balloon themed ferris wheel

Frankie's Mine Train is the newest coaster at the park

Diamondback is an old school Arrow shuttle loop coaster

There are not many of these left operating in the world

The park also has a Wild West stunt show

While cheesy, it was pretty entertaining.

Finally before we head out, here are a few of thematic additions around the park

It really is a nice looking park.

Had a great time at the park.  Definitely will be back.

Riptide Raceway (OOF)

They are still working hard at hanging the tube slide pieces for the new Riptide Raceway

I have to admit that pop of color on this hill is welcome sight.
