 News - (7/2/2026) For those who have been thinking that ArieForce One can’t be moved… that is incorrect. According to RMC’s President, Darren Torr, “The coaster is definitely moveable.” The comments come as part of a news article almost begging for the coaster to be moved to Kings Island, but at the very end they go to RMC for the official word.
“Based on ranking by coaster enthusiasts, it's a top 10 coaster in the world. It has angle iron structure, which means it will require new hardware. It has some topography changes, so a new site will need to be modified or the structure will be need to be reworked to match the site elevation. Ballpark, the cost to move is probably ~$10M less than building new. I have no idea what the future holds for AF1, hopefully, it continues to deliver smiles for guests.”
Personally… and I haven’t heard any rumors yet… but I’ve got a feeling that someone will put a bid out to buy the relocate the coaster somewhere… I’m just not sure who or where yet.
(6/27/2026) The crazy rumor going around this past week ended up being true, as Fun Spot Atlanta has confirmed that the location will close permanently at the end of the last day of operations, taking place on August 2, 2026.
The company confirms that the two Orlando area locations will remain in operation, so the closure is just entirely about the Atlanta area park, which sadly was known for having the most high profile and enjoyed ride in the entire chain, the ArieForce One roller coaster, a custom built all IBox track creation from RMC that received raving reviews from just about anyone who has ever ridden it. The fate of the ArieForce One isn’t known yet, and under normal situations it would be expected to be scrapped, however given the more legendary status of this particular coaster and I believe that it sits on a fairly flat piece of property, there is always a chance that someone in the industry could buy it to relocate it to a new theme park somewhere.
I do recall thinking that the Fun Spot Atlanta property was a strange location to build such a prominent roller coaster concept, as the park is located to the south of the more traditional ATL boundary, located about a 20 minute drive south from the ATL airport towards Fayetteville. So I can’t help but wonder if the construction of this 2023 ride, which was hoped to put the small FEC “on the map” really instead just served to “put it in the ground” instead as a financial burden that it couldn’t overcome at current attendance levels.
