Six Flags parks currently operating in Oklahoma
Following the 2024 Six Flags / Cedar Fair merger and the 2025-2026 divestitures that closed Six Flags America and sold roughly seven parks (including Great Escape, Valleyfair, and Worlds of Fun) to EPR Properties, Six Flags confirmed it is streamlining its portfolio around its core parks. Oklahoma's Six Flags properties remain under direct Six Flags management for the 2026 season:
Six Flags Frontier City — Oklahoma City
A Western-themed amusement park featuring roller coasters including the Silver Bullet and Wildcat. Reopened for its 2026 season on April 11, and runs seasonal events including Fright Fest.
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor — Oklahoma City
Six Flags' Oklahoma City water park, located adjacent to Frontier City, offering slides, a wave pool, and a lazy river for the 2026 season.
Both properties are confirmed currently operating via official Six Flags park pages and independent 2026 news/events coverage (Attractions Magazine, VisitOKC) — see Sources below.
Oklahoma personal injury statute of limitations
Under Oklahoma Statutes Title 12, Section 95(A)(3), a person injured at an Oklahoma theme park generally has 2 years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. For a wrongful death claim, the 2-year period generally runs from the date of death. Certain circumstances — such as the injured person being a minor — can extend or toll this deadline, but the general rule is strict: missing it typically bars the claim permanently.
Documented incidents at Six Flags Frontier City
Frontier City has a real, sourced history of ride-related injury litigation and safety incidents. These are not hypothetical — each is drawn from court filings and contemporaneous news reporting:
-
June 2019 — Wildcat roller coaster, Frontier City
A father and his then-6-year-old son, from Moore, Oklahoma, were struck by a falling tree branch while riding the Wildcat roller coaster. The boy was left with a broken neck and brain trauma, requiring multiple surgeries; one guest was transferred to the hospital and the ride was closed for inspection. Reporting noted the park had prior concerns about trees near the ride dating back to 2016.
-
October 2025 — Jury selection begins
Jury selection began in the family's lawsuit against Frontier City and parent company Six Flags over the 2019 incident, more than six years after the injury. The family has continued pursuing the case, citing inadequate tree maintenance despite documented inspection concerns.
-
2025 — Silver Bullet mid-ride stoppage
A mother and son were stranded for nearly an hour after Frontier City's Silver Bullet roller coaster stopped mid-ascent due to a sensor/wiring issue. Six Flags and the Oklahoma Department of Labor stated the ride's safety system worked as designed and no injuries were reported, though the riders described the experience as traumatic.
-
June 2002 — Log flume ride, Frontier City
Three riders were injured on a log flume ride at Frontier City and taken to the hospital complaining of neck and back pain, according to contemporaneous reporting by The Oklahoman.
