9/9/2026, 9:39:58 PM
Acquisition and Relocation Plans
Six Flags Entertainment Corp. announced the purchase of ArieForce One, a steel roller coaster previously operated by Fun Spot America in Fayette County, Georgia. The coaster, which ceased operation when Fun Spot closed its park, will be moved to one of Six Flags’ twenty amusement parks, though the specific location has not yet been disclosed. Six Flags expects the ride to reopen to the public in 2028.
Background on ArieForce One and Fun Spot Closure
ArieForce One debuted three years ago and quickly earned a reputation among thrill-seeking enthusiasts for its high-intensity experience, despite remaining relatively unknown to the broader Atlanta metro area. The coaster’s original home, Fun Spot America’s Fayette County location, shut down last month, leaving the ride idle and prompting its sale to Six Flags.
Technical Highlights
- Top speed: 64 mph.
- Zero-gravity stall: Marketed as the longest such stall in the United States, providing riders with an extended period of weightlessness.
These specifications have contributed to the coaster’s popularity within the niche community of roller-coaster aficionados.
Anticipated Impact and Future Outlook
The acquisition expands Six Flags’ portfolio of high-profile attractions and may bolster attendance at the eventual host park. While Six Flags over Georgia in Austell is a possible destination, the company has not confirmed the site. The 2028 reopening timeline gives the firm ample time to dismantle, transport, and reassemble the coaster, as well as to integrate it into the chosen park’s existing layout.
Next Steps
Details regarding the exact park, construction schedule, and any modifications to the ride will be released by Six Flags as the project progresses toward its slated 2028 debut.
