Silver Bullet is a steel looping star roller coaster currently operating at Frontier City in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[1] Manufactured by Anton Schwarzkopf, the ride first opened in 1980 in the State Fair of Texas under the name Looping Star[2] before being relocated after the 1983 season to Jolly Roger Amusement Park from 1984 to 1985[3] before being relocated again in 1986. It is currently the oldest roller coaster operating at Frontier City.[4]
Ride experience
After leaving the station, riders instantly start climbing the lift hill. The first drop curves towards the right before going through the loop, which is the only inversion on the ride. After the loop, riders go through a right over-banked turn before going down a small drop followed by a smaller left over-banked turn. After going through another small drop, the ride does a banked turn to the left before dropping once more and going through a right banked turn through a tunnel. After the tunnel, riders are stopped on the brake run and are then let back into the station.
