USA: Fun Spot America & RMC Reveal New Details on “ArieForce One“ Coaster

As of the 2022 season, a new roller coaster at Fun Spot America Atlanta is supposed to provide visitors with a new thrill experience. “ArieForce One“ – a tribute to the passion of flying of the father of CEO John Arie Jr. – will be a roller coaster by Hayden, Idaho-based manufacturer Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC). The coaster experience starts with a 46-metre-high (154 feet) lift hill from where the trains – two trains with 20 passengers each – will dive into the first 83-degree-steep drop. On an over one-kilometre-long (3,400 feet) track, which is equipped with RMC’s patented „Ibox“ track, the trains rush through not less than four inversions – one Raven Truss Dive, two Zero-G rolls and one 180-degree stall – and accelerate to a maximum speed of 102 km/h (64 mph).

“[…] We will have you believing you’re traveling into space with all of the airtime moments and weightlessness this RMC coaster provides. The addition of ArieForce One is a huge milestone for our company and the first of many new Marque rides and attractions yet to come to the Fayetteville, Georgia park. As a one-of-a-kind roller coaster, custom designed to the topography and layout of Fun Spot Atlanta, no other RMC roller coaster has this combination of elements. The Raven Truss Dive and the Zero-G Roll over the arcade are the first-of-their-kind in the world. In both ride elements the train travels through the center of a uniquely designed truss bridge while twisting at Zero-G,” said John Arie Jr.

At a cost of ten million Dollars (approx. 8.75 million Euro) the new ride, which will be the largest ride at Fun Spot America Atlanta, is the biggest investment in the park’s history. (eap)
