no you see, they are gonna announce in a couple days that they have TWO announcements now !!! On a later date ofc /s
Concept Parting Out Fun Spot Atlanta & Rehoming ArieForce One
- Thread starter Tacky3663
- Start date
I'm all about BGW getting the ridebut if so, I'd imagine it going out to the parking lot and back.
I really only see two possibilities for placement at BGW and I wouldn't be in favor of either of them. One would be somewhere between Seasame and Apollo going out over the tram way and into the parking lot and the other would be out behind Corkscrew Hill and going out toward the employee entrance. Both I think would be bad fots fir the park.
I would be surprised if we see any announcement before mid 2027. I think logically most likely who ever bought it is looking at it as a 2028 addition.
I think I recall hearing Fun Spot had to vacate the land by the end of the year, which (if true) would mean we'd at least see it get packed up somewhat soon
Well, we know where it’s NOT going. COTAland’s Matt Hughey said they looked into both AF1 and Switchback before determining neither really fit their vision and lineup;

I wouldn't have thought that Herschend was the buyer....but looking at this....makes me think there's a chance they bought ArieForce. If they did, it's not going to SDC for sure. I'm looking at the other parks like Kennywood, Adventureland, Silverwood. Or it's just SDC trolling....
Honestly this is one of the rumors I've had the most fun with in years because it really could go almost anywhere at this point

Any substance to those rumors other than "I want Dorney to have ArieForce"? I'm all for it; that park is a true standout away from being one of the better parks in the chain, and I would definitely make my way out there to ride it, but I have a hard time believing that Six Flags is going to invest this much in the park.
I dont see Dorney getting it, especially with how they had to make a deal with the township to get the height variance to build Iron Menace. A 155 foot tall coaster in one of the highest points in the park probably aint gonna get approved.
Actually makes me think it's less likely as there would likely be all kind of confidentiality clause attached to the sale and essentially leaking it with a troll social media post isn't typically the action that a major company is going to do.
I would love for Dorney to get it but I don't really think there is a viable location. Maybe if Possesed is on the chopping block there might be a dpot for anogher tall coaster but I just really don't think they have a place for.
It seems like no park that logically can use it has room that makes much sense so i cant wait to see where it goes
PLEASE DO IT
Edit: Just watched the video. The two places he suggested it could go aren't possible to my knowledge. The Area 72 plot is home to the parade buildings and service road, and no way they're getting rid of those. The other section is way backstage by the dorms I used to live in. It could still go to the park, but definitely not either one of those spots.

Ohhhhhh girls, if it goes to Kings Island I will not be happy. I’m not a huge fan of RMC as it is, so take that for what it’s worth, but that said… If KI were to go with an RMC I would much, much rather see something custom-built for their terrain.
Perhaps I’m being a little irrational, but I don’t really want Six Flags to get it? Don’t get me wrong, I rather they get it than it be scrapped, but I would much prefer Enchanted or an independent park somewhere get it.
