Concept Parting Out Fun Spot Atlanta & Rehoming ArieForce One
- Thread starter Tacky3663

Since it basically belongs to them, just throw it uptown at Truist Center. Easy!
Someone photoshop a spirit halloween over fun spots land please
I would say Six Flags New England to get ArieForce One but idk if there’s anymore space for that
Plus I still think Great Escape should get the ride

Ignore my accidental extra line (@northdetective ’s tool is quite challenging on phones) but, Lake Compounce could be a great candidate and it would work with minimal site alterations. Just get the routing of the entrance and exit right and this thing absolutely works.
still not super great on phones but u can use the original AF1 version at northdetective.github.io/relocateaf1, the ride is pretraced. it's hard to manage zooming into the page itself vs zooming into the map and panning etc for mobile. love the idea tho, would be awesome if they could figure out the terrain

That would be either 1 enormous plaza for the ride or a long ass walk to the station. Do you know where the station is in the layout? Lol
I know it's somewhere in the middle of that L - I believe where the sharp 90 is. I was loosely thinking it'd be part of an expansion, if anything. Rip out the ampitheater, throw in some fancy new flats and AF1.
Goofing around with the tool, here's how it'd look if it somehow wound up at my home park of Knott's Berry Farm. Honestly not a terrible fit as part of an expanded Ghost Town and probably a better ride for the property than a giga, but the chance of it happening is still basically zero.
And here's an idea for SeaWorld San Diego. Also completely implausible, but again it's not that bad of a fit with appropriate modifications.
Truthfully, the only way I see this ride being relocated is if it can be run along the edge of a relatively flat park, as while it doesn't take up a ton of room, it's an awkward layout due to the station placement. I think a far more likely fate is for a park to build a new IBox that repurposes the mechanical equipment and potentially select structural elements.

So two rides with mile-long queue lines right next to each other? Does everyone forget that the station on AFO is in the corner of the L?
My (hopefully wrong) expectation is that Arieforce One is completely done. For one the ride is absolutely massive and it takes up a pretty unconventional plot of land. Even parks with tons of open land like Kings Island, Great Adventure, or Worlds of Fun would struggle to fit this into their parks layout in a way that makes sense. Beyond the size issue, I really just doubt any park would actually want to buy this thing. We haven't seen a US park buy an I-Box coaster since 2023, I don't know why they would suddenly show interest when a used one comes on the market, it's not like relocating this would be cheap. Disassembling the ride, transporting it, all the new footers that would need to be poured, and the likely necessary structural modifications they'd need to make would all add up pretty quickly. Sure they'd save money on the trains, but beyond that I don't know why a park would go this route when they could instead get a custom one for not much more that would actually fit their park layout. Maybe we'll see parts of it moved around as others have suggested. Certain elements like the lift, stall, and dive loop could probably be repurposed by RMC, but I would be genuinely shocked if we saw Arieforce One's entire layout relocated.
This is honestly something they would do—right down to the hilariously out-of-the-way station placement and nonsensical location on property.
Maybe something like this would work better?
