Shoot the Silver Bullet at Frontier City
11501 N. Interstate 35 Service Road
frontiercity.com
478-2140

Race
along nearly 2,000 feet of steel track at speeds reaching 48 mph on the
Silver Bullet. Oklahoma’s highest roller coaster takes you 83 feet up,
only to send you into a heart-pounding, 80-foot drop down. Your hair
will stand on end even before you hit the loop.

 

Scale such great heights at Rocktown Climbing Gym
200 S.E. Fourth

319-1400

Scaling
the walls inside and outside Rocktown Climbing Gym may be the closest
you’ll get to being Spider-Man. The converted grain elevator houses
several silos offering climbs up to 90 feet tall and 140 feet in total
length. New in the last year is a 60-degree bouldering wall.

Get a Mega-Wedgie at White Water Bay
3908 W. Reno
whitewaterbay.com
943-9687

A
trip down the Mega- Wedgie definitely ends in a splash ... and a
you-know-what with your swimsuit. Hike up six stories of stairs to take
the near-vertical slide. Just don’t expect to relax as you shoot down
the 277-foot speed slide at approximately 25 feet per second before
plummeting into a 64-foot free fall.

 

Make a splash at Wake Zone Cable Park
3501 N.E. 10th
wakezone.co
850-5801 

Never
let it be said that landlocked states can’t have kick-butt water
sports. Take wakeboarding. At Wake Zone, you skim across the water and
up ramps, all while being pulled by an overhead cable system — look, Ma! No boat! You’ll be busting out some midair trick moves in no time.

10944 N. May

A dark maze. Swirling fog. Laser guns. This high-tech twist on hide-and-seek is like playing The Most Dangerous Game in wherever TRON was set. Save for another go-round, what more do you and your closely targeted friends need?

Dubbed
the tallest course of its kind in the world, the newly opened Sky Trail
represents six stories of climbing adventure — like a ropes course in
the sky! Scheduled to open Monday are an 80-foot free-fall jump and a
72-foot enclosed slide, also the world’s tallest. Geronimooooo!

How high can you go? That,
my friend, is up to you! Launch yourself skyward at Elevation’s floor
full of trampolines — even the walls are covered with them! Not exciting
enough? Get a group together for one helluva spring-loaded game of
Dodgeball Xtreme 3D.
