From the second drop it is back through the loop, up the first drop
and back into the station in reverse.
Arrow Dynamics built eight of these back in the 1970's and like many of
their looping coasters these are a dying breed with only three left running.
Yeah, they are not the most exciting rides (although a train with lap bars
would drastically improve it) but they are an interesting and rare ride
experience.
The Hangman is one of the newer rides at Frontier City. The ride shoots
you up to the top of the tower where you hang there for a few seconds before
plummeting back down to the ground. It sounds fun but it was not up
and running when we were there.
Quick Draw was the big surprise of our visit to Frontier City.
I hadn't heard a thing at all about this ride and it ended up being a favorite
of Bond and myself. Quick Draw is a shoot-em-up dark ride by Sally
Dark Rides.
Quick Draw takes you through a wonderfully air conditioned wild west town
where it is your job to take care of a bandit infestation as a newly deputized
marshal. Shoot-em-up dark rides like this are a favorite of ours because
Bond is a pretty decent shot and we always have fun seeing who can outshoot
each other.
