ArieForce One Opening March 31, 2023, at Fun Spot America Atlanta
Fun Spot America has announced that ArieForce One will open at their Atlanta park on March 31, 2023. The park shared a promotional video on its Facebook page.
ArieForce One is a custom Rocky Mountain Construction coaster costing $13 million - the largest single investment ever for Fun Spot America. The coaster was first announced at IAAPA on November 16, 2021, and it’s built up a lot of anticipation from coaster enthusiasts since then. It was named after Fun Spot America founder John Arie Sr. and the queues will be based on Arie Sr.’s boyhood passion for flight.
