ArieForce One Finds New Home at Six Flags, Reopening in 2028 or 2029

ArieForce One, the coaster that opened at Fun Spot America Atlanta in 2023, will be relocated to a Six Flags park and reopen in 2028 or 2029. Six Flags will keep the ArieForce One name. The ride, built by Rocky Mountain Construction, drew enthusiasts for its airtime and pacing. Details on which Six Flags park will receive it haven’t been announced, but officials say the move preserves the ride’s legacy and introduces it to a new generation; more information is expected later.

End of an Era: Fun Spot Atlanta Closes After ArieForce One’s Run

Fun Spot America Atlanta will close on Aug. 2 after attendance failed to sustain operations, even as ArieForce One—the park’s marquee coaster built by Rocky Mountain Construction and opened in 2023—garnered acclaim. Owner John Arie Jr. says the southern Atlanta location limited tourist draw and that the big investment didn’t generate lasting lift, prompting a relocation of ArieForce One to a new home outside the Fun Spot family. An auction of other park assets is planned after Labor Day, with Fayetteville real estate to be listed afterward. The site began as Dixieland Fun Park in 1990, later became Fun Junction USA and joined the Fun Spot group in 2017, leaving behind a legacy and a fan base hopeful to catch the ride in Florida."
