Wildcat is a wooden roller coaster located at Frontier City in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Manufactured by National Amusement Devices, it originally opened at Fairyland Park in 1968, but following the park's closure in 1977, it was placed into storage and re-opened at Frontier City on April 20, 1991.[1] The ride was modified and rebuilt by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters for the 1991 reopening.[2]
