Negative-G - Frontier City Theme Park

Frontier City Theme Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

After conquering the Wild Kitty it was time to go and hit the rest of Frontier City. I really didn't know what to expect of Frontier City before visiting but it really impressed me with how nice the theming was. The whole park was up there with Dollywood or Silver Dollar City (a park we would visit later in the day for night rides on Outlaw Run - that trip report is coming next) and it was quite a surprise.

The Steel Lasso Roller Coaster at Frontier City Theme Park, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Working our way around Frontier City the Steel Lasso was our next ride.

Steel Lasso is a family inverted coaster designed and manufactured by Vekoma. Long time readers will know I'm no Vekoma fan due to roughness and in general pain on their large looping coasters but their Jr. sized coasters like their Roller-skater "Junior coaster" or their "Suspended Family Coasters" like Steel Lasso are fantastic, fun and smooth rides.

Steel Lasso was added to Frontier City and like the Silver Bullet and Wildcat coasters it is very visible to everyone driving by on Interstate 35.

Instead of being a "hang 'n bang" like Vekoma's "Suspended Looping Coasters" Steel Lasso uses lap bars to keep you secured in the car resulting in in no banging around or pain and a smooth ride where you can just enjoy yourself while spiraling around in the sky.
