ATLANTA — ArieForce One, the roller coaster that opened at Fun Spot America Atlanta in 2023, will move to a Six Flags park and reopen in 2028 or 2029.
Six Flags said it will keep the ArieForce One name.
The company said the coaster has officially joined the Six Flags family and will be relocated from Fun Spot America Atlanta.
Built by Rocky Mountain Construction, ArieForce One opened in 2023 and became known among coaster enthusiasts for its pacing, airtime and ride experience.
“From the moment ArieForce One closed, we knew how much this coaster meant to the enthusiast community and to guests who made the journey to experience it,” said Mark Pauls, chief operating officer of Six Flags. “We’re thrilled to preserve its legacy, invest in its future and bring this extraordinary attraction to a new generation of guests.”
Fun Spot America said the ride was named for founder John Arie Sr. and described it as a passion project for the Arie family.

“When we built ArieForce One, we wanted to create something truly special. Something that would put Fun Spot America on the map with coaster enthusiasts and families around the world and create memories that would last a lifetime,” said John Arie Jr., CEO of Fun Spot America. “Seeing ArieForce One preserved and finding a new home with Six Flags means a great deal to me and my family. Its story isn’t ending, it’s beginning a new chapter and we are excited that future generations will get to experience ArieForce One.”
Derek Perry, president-elect of American Coaster Enthusiasts, said enthusiasts had hoped the coaster would have a future beyond its original park.
“Today’s announcement answers one question and opens the door to another,” Perry said. “The speculation about which park will receive ArieForce One is going to be enormous.”
Six Flags has not said which park will get ArieForce One and said more details are still ahead.
