Six Flags Acquires ArieForce One Roller Coaster

Keeping the ArieForce One name, Six Flags plans a 2028–2029 return with the receiving park to be named by year-end 2026.

Overview

  • Six Flags confirmed on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2026, that it bought ArieForce One from Fun Spot America and will retain the ride’s name to preserve its legacy.
  • The company says the coaster will be dismantled, moved and reassembled at a Six Flags park and is targeted to reopen in the 2028 or 2029 season.
  • ArieForce One is a Rocky Mountain Construction I‑Box steel coaster about 154 feet tall with a 146‑foot drop, roughly 3,400 feet of track, four inversions and signature elements such as a large zero‑gravity stall and a Raven Truss Dive.
  • Six Flags framed the purchase as preservation and investment, with executives and Fun Spot leadership emphasizing the coaster’s emotional ties to the Arie family and its strong fan following.
  • Key practical details — the receiving park, purchase price, relocation budget, construction schedule and any ride modifications — have not been disclosed, which has fueled intense public and enthusiast speculation about candidate parks and likely operational impacts.
