Description
Photo of Frontier City, an amusement park in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The photo was originally taken at dawn coming into the city from Tulsa. Then using Corel Paint Photoshop, I added a golden filter to the gray dawn silhouette and used the illumination effect to add five "cones of light"

Frontier City was opened in 1958 as a Western "town" theme-park. It opened up at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds, but moved to its current location a few years later to become a "boom town," since it sprung-up quickly. The park added spinning rides, several roller coasters and a log flume ride starting in the 1960s and 1970s. Rather than a traditional ribbon cutting, Frontier City was scheduled to have an old fashioned six shooter aimed at a piece of rope stretched across the stockade entrance. The rope stretched across main street is still used today for the opening of the park.
