- Description: Six Flags has acquired Georgia’s former ArieForce One coaster and promises a 2028 or 2029 return. The company has not named its destination, so Six Flags Over Georgia remains speculation—not a confirmed home.

Six Flags has acquired ArieForce One, the acclaimed roller coaster formerly located at the now-closed Fun Spot America Atlanta, but Georgia visitors should not assume it is coming to Six Flags Over Georgia. The company’s [official announcement](https://www.sixflags.com/blog/arieforce-ones-next-chapter-begins-at-six-flags?ref=theamericanquorum.com) promises the coaster will reopen at an unnamed Six Flags park in either the 2028 or 2029 season.

That is the most important planning detail: the ride has been saved, but its destination, installation schedule and opening date remain unsettled. Six Flags says it will relocate, reassemble and enhance the coaster while retaining the ArieForce One name. The company has not disclosed a purchase price or identified which of its roughly 20 amusement parks will receive it.

The acquisition follows the permanent closure of Fun Spot America Atlanta in Fayetteville. The operator’s [closure notice](https://funspotamericaatlanta.com/?ref=theamericanquorum.com) confirms that August 2, 2026, was the park’s final operating day. Eligible season passes and gift cards are now honored only at the company’s Orlando and Kissimmee parks under their applicable terms, not at another Georgia property.

## What is confirmed—and what is not

ArieForce One opened in Georgia in 2023 and was built by Rocky Mountain Construction. Six Flags describes it as a modern coaster known for forceful pacing and airtime, and says it intends to preserve the ride for a new generation. The announcement does not say that the original track layout will remain unchanged; the word “enhanced” leaves room for design or operational modifications after dismantling.

Local speculation has centered on Six Flags Over Georgia because it is nearby, but that is not an announced plan. [Axios Atlanta reported](https://www.axios.com/local/atlanta/2026/09/09/fayetteville-georgia-roller-coaster-six-flags-over-georgia?ref=theamericanquorum.com) that the destination remains a mystery and separately offered its own opinion that the coaster should stay in metro Atlanta. Visitors should distinguish that editorial preference from Six Flags’ confirmed information.

For trip planning, nothing about the acquisition changes current admission, operating calendars or attraction lineups at Six Flags Over Georgia or Six Flags White Water. There is no ArieForce One reservation, preview window or Georgia opening date to plan around. Any future announcement naming Six Flags Over Georgia would be a separate, consequential step.

Readers can compare current Georgia properties and live operating information through TAQ’s [Georgia park dashboard](https://parks.theamericanquorum.com/?country=US&state=GA&ref=theamericanquorum.com). Continuing statewide coverage is collected on the [Georgia Theme Parks page](https://www.theamericanquorum.com/georgia-theme-parks/). Until Six Flags names the receiving park, the firm conclusion is limited but important: ArieForce One will return, though not before 2028 and not necessarily in Georgia.
