The 90's were a weird time to be a teenager. The internet was a new thing, but it was slow and sucky and mostly useless. Technology was evolving faster than culture could keep up with. Hollywood was churning out sequels and remakes every summer, and all the comic book movies were awful. Alright, so maybe some things haven't changed, but at least the Flaming Lips were still making great records, and Frontier City was still cool.

If you had never been to Six Flags, the rides at Frontier City seemed pretty alright. But most importantly, it was a place you could get dropped off by your parents and spend the whole afternoon without adult supervision. I have no idea if teenagers still like to go there, but I would assume they think it's pretty lame. It was a magic time when the park was being maintained well enough, and there was nothing else to do in Oklahoma City but ride the Diamondback a dozen times in a row.
