Oklahoma City's Frontier City temporarily lifts ban on coolers

"Guests can always get their hand stamped and leave to eat and come back,” Frontier City spokeswoman Andrea Pennock said. "But during this time period we are also letting them bring in outside food and drink, which we don’t normally allow.”

Glass containers and alcoholic beverages are not allowed, Pennock said.

Guests also can buy bottled water for $1 throughout the park, and free water is available from a cooler at the first aid station.

Frontier City closed early on Thursday after harmful bacteria was found in the water supply used for drinking and preparing food.

The amusement park reopened Friday afternoon under a "boil water notice,” which means it was not allowed to serve fountain drinks with ice or sell any food that had to be prepared on site.

Because the boil order only affected water meant for consumption, the Mystery River Log Flume and the Renegade Rapids remained open and were not affected by the E. coli contamination.

As of 5 p.m. Friday, the Oklahoma City-Oklahoma County Health Department had no reports of anyone becoming ill from E.
