Fun Spot Atlanta announced today that it will permanently close on August 2, 2026. Consequently, the Arie Force One Rollercoaster, acclaimed as one of the premier steel hybrid rollercoasters, will also cease operations permanently. Despite the park's condition, Arie Force One is an exceptional ride. While we hope for the possibility of relocating the rollercoaster, there are currently no plans to do so.
