Fun Spot Atlanta to close permanently on August 2

It goes without saying that there’s the potential for horrible loss here, and it’s not the park itself.

Maybe the RMC would be a fairly easy move/reconstruct and it’s a no-brainer for Fun Spot to relocate this stellar attraction to one of their busier parks. Or maybe the hands of park owners across the nation, eager to take it, are going up as we speak. (I know mine would).

At any rate, ArieForce One deserves to have people lined up to ride. And a new name.

Well there is, of course this

I love a good online petition (still waiting for my bran muffin).

I'm still wondering what they were thinking installing an A+ coaster into a small FEC. Amusement parks should grow organically and incrementally. Kind of reminds me of when we lost Dania Beach Hurricane. Small FECs should start off with little carnival roller coasters. The money they spent on that coaster could have been used so much more wisely.

A ride like Arieforce One does not attract the same kind of clientele that arcade games and go carts attract, imho. Attractions need to support each other. Every time I hear about the coaster, it's from people who tack on the ride to their Six Flags over GA visit.

Now it's time for me to dream. Would Arieforce One make a great addition to Kings Island or Carowinds?
