Who's been there?

No one here has been there?
I was wondering if it was worth my while to drive thru and maybe take some pictures if some of it still exists and you can make it out.

Never been there but it does have an interesting history. I've been close by (Foraker area) but this is the first I've heard of it. Pretty wild back in the day. Kinda' funny how it got it's name.
Bring a metal detector when you go. Who knows you might find a coin worth millions.
I first became interested in it from a segment on the Oklahoma News Report about a woman who is writing a book about Whizbang.
According to her book the name Whizbang came from the sound that a big gusher oil well made right before the oil erupted.
I would like to start going to Oklahoma ghost towns and taking pictures.
With my luck I wouldn't find any valuable coins but who knows what else a person might find?
Gotta love Wikipedia..........lol. It says that it got it's name from the madame of a brothel who called herself "WhizBang Red".
Hi,
What is the latitude/longitude of it? Maybe Google earth has something to show?
Thanks,
Alan

I don't think I've been there, but very near I think. It's been too long ago to remember for sure. Whizbang was part of the Burbank oilfield over around the Fairfax area if I remember right. Lots of history out that way in regards to the oil boom days. Lots of towns that no longer exist too or barely exist now. I used drive all over those dirt roads out there for something to do and to see what I could see. Check out this site here for more ghost towns or abandoned stuff.... http://www.abandonedok.com/
