Wildcat, Wooden roller coaster in Frontier City, Oklahoma City, United States.
Wildcat is a wooden roller coaster at Frontier City amusement park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The ride uses a traditional wooden frame structure with a steep drop and runs on a track that makes it one of the older operating attractions in the park.
Wildcat opened in 1968 at Fairyland Park in Kansas City, Missouri, as that park's largest ride. After storm damage and the 1972 opening of Worlds of Fun, Fairyland closed in 1977 and the coaster sat abandoned. It was removed in 1990, rebuilt with track modifications by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, and reopened at Frontier City on April 20, 1991.
The name comes from the cat-like profile of its hills, and the queue house holds a "chicken exit" for guests who change their minds at the last moment. The ride's wooden track was rebuilt and modified by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters for its 1991 reopening at Frontier City.
There is a height requirement to board, and younger children must ride with an adult companion. The wooden structure makes for a rougher experience than steel coasters, so it is worth securing any loose items before getting on.
The queue house has a "chicken exit" for guests who change their minds at the last moment. On July 26, 2021, a train stalled on the lift hill and a guest climbed into the restricted area to hand water to the riders; he was banned from all Six Flags parks for five years.
