Arie Force One will see more riders, as the Fun Spot America roller coaster has been sold to Six Flags.

Now the real question: Which Six Flags park will be its new home?

The beloved roller coaster from Rocky Mountain Construction closed with the rest of Fun Spot’s Atlanta park in August, only a few years after Fun Spot took a gamble in building the $13 million coaster at a small park known for go-karts and small flat rides. 

As coaster fans flocked to the park — resulting in some of the times the coaster actually amassed a sizable wait time — Fun Spot America owner John Arie Jr. teased that a deal may be coming to move Arie Force One to another park. On Sept. 3, Arie said the ride had officially been sold, but without naming the buyer.

Six Flags later unmasked itself as the buyer in a Tuesday morning press release.

“From the moment Arie Force One closed, we knew how much this coaster meant to the enthusiast community and to guests who traveled from around the world to experience it,” Six Flags Chief Operating Officer Mark Pauls said in a statement. “This is a ride that consistently generated excitement, acclaim and passionate fan support. We are thrilled to preserve its legacy, invest in its future and bring this extraordinary attraction to a new generation of guests. This acquisition represents our commitment to delivering world-class thrills and creating unforgettable experiences across the Six Flags portfolio.”

Six Flags said that the attraction will return sometime in the 2028 or 2029 seasons.

What Six Flags didn’t say was which of its parks would be Arie Force One’s new home. Six Flags apparently welcomes the speculation, stating that “enthusiasts and thrill-seekers around the world can begin making their predictions now.”

Out of Six Flags’ 20 amusement parks, seven do not currently have a RMC coaster: Canada’s Wonderland, Carowinds, Dorney Park, Frontier City, Kings Island, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Six Flags Darien Lake.

Editor’s Note: This story was updated on Sept. 8, 2026, after Six Flags announced that it had purchased Arie Force One. 

Correction: A previous version of this story inaccurately described Arie Force One as a hybrid coaster. In fact, Arie Force One is made entirely of steel. Theme Park Tribune apologizes for the error.
