@@aspeyal8239 My favorite part is the massively powerful ejector airtime hill followed by the hard right banked turn. There isn't a dead spot on the entire ride though.
Finally got to ride ArieForce One this week. Had 10 back to back rides (recommend a Tuesday afternoon in November no wait) some in back some in front. Liked the back the best. Favorite parts were the stall and the Arcade roll. Fun ride totally worth the coast of the wristband just to ride this coaster. Will likely stop in again sometime in the summer when I am in Atlanta for business again. This was definitely better than anything at 6F GA which I did most of on Sunday.
It wasn't so long ago that any "upper-tier RMC" was an automatic 10/10. They create so many incredible rides the entire scale is having to change to fit them in!
Rode it about 13 times today. Fantastic. Wish the trains were full for some extra momentum. But definitely worth the price of admission. Puts Georgia Cyclone to shame. Probably like the stall on Goliath at Great America better. But still awesome
Currently looking at the bruises on my thighs from that quad-down after riding 18 times yesterday. 🙂↕️ I had to take a break at ride 11 because my legs were hurting too much.
This is hands down the best rollercoaster in the state!!! My first time riding it left me trembling when it came to a stop. WHAT A RUSH!!! I had to ride it again!
I felt this!!! When i rode it a few days ago i was in such shock when I got off. No coaster I've ridden so far has left me speechless like that before😭😭Plus it was my first RMC so I'm ready for more!!
This is really good news. I'm happy to hear about places like Fun Spot America and COTAland that are effectively increasing the number of amusement parks available to visit. And add in some other up and coming parks like Lost Island and the Matel park and it means that this ever growing country will have more and more attractions to spread out the fun and lighten the lines across the board.
Nashville native. This is the best coaster I've ridden in the southeast area. have it as my #2 all time behind Fury. if there was ever a time to call a coaster "efficient" I'd say this is it. Nothing over the top as far as speed goes but does incredibly with what it has to work with.
I think it’s important to remember that this is the very first hybrid done by Joe instead of Alan. As such, it should be expected expected that the ride is slightly more inconsistent than typical RMC’s, like the first drop being pretty mild while the finale being a little too intense. I can imagine Joe felt quite a bit of pressure to try and live up to the sky-high standards that Alan has set. As such, the finale was probably Joe trying a little too hard to blow people away. Not criticizing the guy one bit, he’s insanely talented and it’s totally natural. He’s already gotten a lot of things, like the stall, the speed hill, the big outward bank, and the rolls, down perfect, and I can imagine the future rides he designs will be even better than the ones Alan did. I just feel like this should be considered when forming your overall opinion on this ride.
After this summer season, I wouldn't be surprised if they added a trim before the quad down. This thing is only getting started and just watching the footage alone, it looks absolutely insane. Hopefully I can get down and ride it before any potential changes are made.
Honestly they have like 10ft of space from the top of the hill to the first brake, just spacing out those brakes a bit more would help with the gradualness of the brake run. I just hope they don't put a trim on the big drop before the arcade roll, because of the flatness of the track. I doubt they would put it there but you never know
They will have to do some sort of modification because the higher speed at which the trains enter the final break run in the afternoon was causing it to fault in only 80 degree weather, I think a weak trim on the first ascent of the quad down would be ideal, a higher friction wheel compound also seems likely.
There will be absolutely no changes to this ride just because some babies can handle the quad down. Just stick with the kiddie coasters. AF1 is for grown-ups 🤣
This is a fantastic review. Thanks for making it. I took my daughter down to ride this after doing some things in Atlanta and this review helped me decide to make the trip to ride. Great decision. The only poor decision was only riding it once. This thing is amazing. I agree that first drop isn't that amazing, but it's still pretty awesome, but it doesn't compare to the other elements. I told my daughter this reminded me of a scaled down Steel Vengence but with an insane upside down element that is unique.
We live 30 mins from Fun Spot and rode it for the first time last week. Loved it and also it was to much at the same time lol. Probably will never ride again but we are glad we finally did.
The description of the finale reminds me of my first ride on expedition GeForce (still my number 1). That coasters final hills just seemed to wanna smash me to pieces and then fling me to outer space, followed by what I felt was a pretty harsh break run. I love that section and I’m pretty sure I’d love ArieForce One just as much. Hopefully I’ll one day get a chance to visit the US and get a ride.
This is my number 1 coaster ever! I just left, and the Outerbank is my favorite element on any ride, and this beat T-Express for my number 1 today, and I got 37 rides!
Looking forward to my ride in May! I hear what you say about that "not comfortable" thing. A lot of RMCs can have that over intense moment of airtime that makes me take a breather or two before riding again. Great review!
I have a 3 hour layover on my way down to Florida next month at Hartsfield, I might just have to step out and swing by Fun Spot to get on this beast then rush back to catch my flight lol
I agree with your whole review, Taylor. I got a dozen rides on it on a very rainy Monday, and one of those rides was in the row behind you. This was my 650th coaster and I thought RMC is still killing it, but the ending was too repetitive and a little painful. I think AF One will draw more visitors to FS Atlanta, but it will help the chain even more by getting nationwide publicity and helping to sell more 3 park season passes. It will take awhile to get a return on that 18 million dollar investment, but if the chain sees increased profits, then I can see them doing a small expansion in Atlanta within a few years. They could use a relocated coaster or two, maybe even a new Chance Hyper GTX. That would make it a more complete park and more like the other Fun Spots. It was great meeting you and Sarah, it was nice having someone to talk coasters with in an otherwise empty park!
I took a roller coaster vacation this past week, and since ArieForce One is only 30 minutes away, I figured I would build up the courage to give it a try, and I absolutely loved it. It was a perfect start because we then headed to Dollywood where I tried some new things I've never done before, and that included Lightning Rod, which I also didn't think I would ride. Finished the trip at Busch Gardens Tampa this past weekend, and after 14 hours, and conquering my biggest fear, vertical drops on Sheikra, I can honestly say I added some great rides to the collection. My biggest regret for that trip is not riding Gwazi, but that's also because the line was always busy, or I just came from a locker so I wasn't ready to throw my backpack back in. It looked like such a fun coaster, and I'm sure it's incredible, but just one more reason to go back, and by then I should have built up the courage to go beyond vertical. Why is it relevant though? RMC coasters used to scare the crap out of me. I rode Twisted Cyclone, and I was so excited for it when it first opened, but it left me with a crazy head rush because my first ride was in the back row. At that point in time I wasn't familiar with how much it would really rip you over the top, and even though it's not that extreme, being a novice roller coaster enthusiast at the time, let it scare me out of riding any other RMCs. I even had an easy day at Cedar Point in 2019, and I still didn't ride Steel Vengeance, another regret. Twisted Cyclone is quality, and I can't wait to give it another chance 5 years later, but ArieForce One was my first real chance, and it opened up so much in the courage department. Not only is this an incredible ride, but the fact that it's at a park that not a lot of people go to, makes it even crazier. It helped me build up the courage to ride Lightning Rod, and that is another top-tier RMC in my opinion. I think if you combine the first 2/3 of ArieForce One, with the finale of Lightning Rod, you might have one of the best coasters in the country even though they are already amongst them. Height was never the biggest deal for me, but if they wanted to add some more, I'm sure I'd build up the courage to give that a try too. But hey, at least I added a dive coaster to the list, so there's some baby steps. 😅 If you haven't ridden this ride, I highly recommend that you do, because you won't regret it. Easily my favorite roller coaster that I've ridden with Lightning Rod, Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia, and Cheetah Hunt right behind it. I'm sure I'll add Steel Vengeance, and Gwazi to that list someday. Sorry for the paragraph, but this ride makes me want to write a novel about how good it is. 😄🎢
I'm just hoping that Fun Spot is able to properly maintain the ride. It looks great now, but I'm curious to see what the condition of the ride will be even a few years from now.
I agree with your review, Taylor. My first ride on it in the back row was kind of disappointing. However, I rode in the front row a few minutes later and liked it better. I heard it was running slower today, so hopefully I can come back when it's at its fullest. Great addition to the park.
I just rode this a few days ago, and I love it. this coaster is insane. from start to finish there is no brake. This is my new number one. side note I've not ridden many other rmc's so those might change my mind.
Just rode this the other day, I have to say that this is one of the most airtime filled rides I’ve ever been on, start to finish is non stop mix between some really power ejector and floater airtime!
Excellent review! Such a good ride! I guess I am one of those people who like the torture because the ejector pops at the end I find a LOT of fun; it feels like a bucking bronco just like you said. And you are 100% right, the middle is just absolutely insane. The hand chopper moments are excellent as well. Easily at the tip top of my coaster list (but I dont have hundreds of credits... yet) but I put it up there with Fury and other really excellent rides.
Okay, absolutely agree with everything said. Just took a trip this weekend to six flags Georgia for the first time, stopped at fun spot on the way home! ArieForce is definitely the best coaster in Georgia. I enjoyed twisted cyclone at SF, but sadly it can’t compare to this beast! 😂Rode front, third row, and back- front was my fav 😍 zero g roll was absolutely perfect. The last section was brutal 😂 left bruises on my legs! Worth it! This coaster is in my top 5 now!
I always thought the theme for this ride was supposed to be something along the lines of Top Gun: plane flight so fast and advanced and complicated that it borders on astronautical flight. I could just be reading too heavily into it, but that's what I always thought!
Rode it for the first time yesterday. Gotta think it through, but it's definitely going in my top ten somewhere. Smooth as can be - like flying. I didn't experience the quad down the same as everyone else, I guess - I didn't find it to be too aggressive at all - maybe because I saw this review before riding and was prepared for it. Any way - another RMC gem.
I hope that RMC just improves their restraints so that they aren't as painful. Those bunny hills would probably be fine with the newer Intamin lapbars as they disperse the force all over your thigh, instead of one painspot.
Arie is about 45 mins from my house so I went one day when it was kinda warm and I agree with your comments in the ending. It’s a bit too much. My shins were bruised after about 8 rides throughout the day. Other than that it’s a lot better than I initially expected. Curious to see what comes of fun spot over the next few years.
Just rode a couple of days ago...along with nearby Twisted Cyclone. LOVED IT!...and better yet...no line!... I love the aggressive ending and I hope it isn't slowed down... My only complaint is that the pre-hill part is boring and not twisty like other RMC's...and the first drop is unremarkable. Other than that...a perfect, smooth and fun ride!
Rode it today. 90 degrees and sunny. It wasnt intense in the way of like I305 with sustained positive G's, but it was the most intense coaster ive been on thinking about how aggessive a coaster is. Rode it 11 times and bruises on my legs to show for it 😅
I agree with your take on the end. I think the “chili dip” should instead be a larger hill up and over the building, and then into a more extended triple down
i think the first two hills on the chili dip/quad down should have been a trick track double up then into a double down so 4 airtime moments instead of 5 so you could also increase the length of the brake run
I didn’t think anything could top Iron Gwazi, I think Arie Force One may have done that. When the amazing Raven Truss Dive is not the highlight, The Stall goes on forever, then the outer bank turn unreal. The airtime through this whole ride is never ending. The zero G roll!!! This coaster is just about perfect
Don't really like the constant ejector bunny hills on Twisted Timbers (my thighs hate them, anyway), so that last bit sounds like torture. No pain, no gain, I guess!
This is my 4th RMC credit . I’m debating on it being my second or third favorite currently I’m 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Lightning Rod 3. Aireforce 4. Goliath … That quad down and break run is what makes me not want to put it over Lightning rod but everything is else is so good that I don’t know
Just ride today for the first time. I have a hard time understand why Fun Spot isnt promoting this coaster all the time - its one of the better coasters I've personally been on in the Southeast. So much fun. Rode it 5 times. No wait ever at FS Atlanta.
The finale would be cooler if 2 of the hills banked left then right like the finale of Twisted Timbers, but maybe there wasn't space for something like that. Appreciate the review, was solid.
I’m really excited to get down there this summer and try it! I personally have gotten thigh bruises from every rmc I’ve ever been on so maybe that’s just me and I’ll have to experience said pain for myself 😅
I got 17 rides this past week on a really hot day I have not felt right since, and I think it’s that quad down that did it to me. Overall incredible ride, and top 3 RMC in the country for me, but not as re-ridable as I would have liked.
I haven’t rode it yet but i only live 2:30 hours away from it so I’ll come back and say what I think in a few months also I’m going to cedar point this September
My problem with the quad-down is that the airtime is too short. It feels like less than half a second of airtime on each hill. It is incredibly powerful airtime (maybe too powerful), but each pop is too short before you get slammed back down into your seat. This is the only coaster I've ridden that I think actually needs trim brakes.
Small correction: the length listed in the stats is not 1,036 feet, it is actually 1,036 meters! It is 3,400 feet long. My apologies!
I was about to say: the new Kiddie coaster at six flags st louis is 840 feet long so, where's this math coming from
@@jefcoble8827 it's just the track where you aren't out of your seat 😂
@@jefcoble8827 simple mistake! it happens to everyone haha

Yes I've been wanting that forever with these new RMC's coming out
There will be one before Wildcat's Revenge opens

They were inspired by a certain Zoo in Sweden 😂
@@clubstep8244 lol
Atl resident here. No one knows about this thing which is a crime
The last few bunny hills on this is like a modern day version of the Magnum Xl-200 finale
great comparison!
@Coaster Studios In my opinion those last hills look like the best part of the ride because of how aggressive they look
I like the hills. They are too good to be true.

I’m literally sitting on the plane in Denver, about to push back from the gate, will be riding this in about 5 hours.
Finally got to ride ArieForce One this week. Had 10 back to back rides (recommend a Tuesday afternoon in November no wait) some in back some in front. Liked the back the best.

Will likely stop in again sometime in the summer when I am in Atlanta for business again. This was definitely better than anything at 6F GA which I did most of on Sunday.
Just rode it today and it is without a doubt a masterpiece of a coaster. Every enthusiast should give it a shot.
Regardless of the final score, we can all agree that this is a top-tier RMC!
For sure
It wasn't so long ago that any "upper-tier RMC" was an automatic 10/10. They create so many incredible rides the entire scale is having to change to fit them in!
I think he scored it based off how well-rounded a ride is. He gave Kentucky Flyer a 10 because it was the perfect family coaster. It’s subjective.
I have not ridden it yet, but ArieForce One looks like the RMC version of Magnum XL-200, but even more violent at the end
The ending is not more violent but definitely more repetitive
Rode it about 13 times today. Fantastic. Wish the trains were full for some extra momentum. But definitely worth the price of admission. Puts Georgia Cyclone to shame. Probably like the stall on Goliath at Great America better. But still awesome
I hope that Fun Spot Georgia will keep on growing into a bigger theme park. Arieforce One is just the beginning

Same
Love Ur car bro 😎
That shot at 5:55 is absolutely phenomenal !! Great job
That 5 or 6 down with that last roll just seem like the craziest 2nd half ever, a true RMC masterpiece.
It feels like a masterpiece too!
Rode it just this past weekend. It was absolutely intense. Wild. I rode three back to backs and it was wild. Even running around a 42 seconds.
Preferred the back. Intensity was higher. The front was more complete if that makes sense. It had more dynamic feels.

I’m so glad to have this near my house! It’s just so so good!!
With all of these new credits and re rides. I’m ready for some CS rankings of all kinds!
I never thought I would ever hear any coaster enthusiast complain of air time being too strong. but here we are
definitely one of the best looking coasters color scheme wise, great review and shots!
I'm just hoping that Fun Spot is able to properly maintain the ride. It looks great now, but I'm curious to see what the condition of the ride will be even a few years from now.
It's a brand new RMC full metal coaster. I doubt there's very much maintenance at all probably just maintenance on the train like wheels and bearings

A coaster can never be too intense. I wish it did 10 of those airtime hills at the end.
I suppose that if you rode a euthanasia coaster, you’d declare it your number one just before you died
Same
I hope that RMC just improves their restraints so that they aren't as painful. Those bunny hills would probably be fine with the newer Intamin lapbars as they disperse the force all over your thigh, instead of one painspot.
I love how they tell you when the restraint is just closed enough. Like the park actually listened to us wine about stapling on rmcs
Finally ride it this past Sunday. The ending is intense and relentless but I thought it was fun.
Yeah I went on it today. Those little dips at the end too much. Evening else is awesome.
Those 4 inversions look insane.
Arie is about 45 mins from my house so I went one day when it was kinda warm and I agree with your comments in the ending. It’s a bit too much. My shins were bruised after about 8 rides throughout the day. Other than that it’s a lot better than I initially expected. Curious to see what comes of fun spot over the next few years.
Just rode a couple of days ago...along with nearby Twisted Cyclone. LOVED IT!...and better yet...no line!... I love the aggressive ending and I hope it isn't slowed down... My only complaint is that the pre-hill part is boring and not twisty like other RMC's...and the first drop is unremarkable. Other than that...a perfect, smooth and fun ride!
Second double up hill looks awesome like it drops off a cliff. Reminds me of TT hills in profile
Great review! Thanks for giving your thoughts on it. I cannot wait to get a few dozen rides on this.
I already know I’m gonna love the ending haha
Rode it today. 90 degrees and sunny. It wasnt intense in the way of like I305 with sustained positive G's, but it was the most intense coaster ive been on thinking about how aggessive a coaster is. Rode it 11 times and bruises on my legs to show for it 😅
so many videos on this coaster, you got some insane shots like that outerbank shot was too good
I just rode this a few days ago I underestimated it but this is one of the best coasters and rmcs I’ve ever ridden was definitely intense
I agree with your take on the end. I think the “chili dip” should instead be a larger hill up and over the building, and then into a more extended triple down
Amazing coaster!
i think the first two hills on the chili dip/quad down should have been a trick track double up then into a double down so 4 airtime moments instead of 5 so you could also increase the length of the brake run
Please we need a Sarah review too 😭
Looking clean af
The final inversion reminds me of Maverick's heartline roll. The shaping looks very similar as well as the banking you have going into and out of it.
I love the ending
I didn’t think anything could top Iron Gwazi, I think Arie Force One may have done that. When the amazing Raven Truss Dive is not the highlight, The Stall goes on forever, then the outer bank turn unreal. The airtime through this whole ride is never ending. The zero G roll!!! This coaster is just about perfect
Don't really like the constant ejector bunny hills on Twisted Timbers (my thighs hate them, anyway), so that last bit sounds like torture. No pain, no gain, I guess!
Is there a typo in the length stat? Just over 1,000 ft seems incredibly short, and it’s also not equal to 490m which is about 1,600 ft.
Yes, please refer to the pinned comment
@@CoasterStudios thanks for the correction!
This is my 4th RMC credit . I’m debating on it being my second or third favorite currently I’m 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Lightning Rod 3. Aireforce 4. Goliath … That quad down and break run is what makes me not want to put it over Lightning rod but everything is else is so good that I don’t know
Just ride today for the first time. I have a hard time understand why Fun Spot isnt promoting this coaster all the time - its one of the better coasters I've personally been on in the Southeast. So much fun. Rode it 5 times. No wait ever at FS Atlanta.
The finale would be cooler if 2 of the hills banked left then right like the finale of Twisted Timbers, but maybe there wasn't space for something like that. Appreciate the review, was solid.
I’m really excited to get down there this summer and try it! I personally have gotten thigh bruises from every rmc I’ve ever been on so maybe that’s just me and I’ll have to experience said pain for myself 😅
I got 17 rides this past week on a really hot day I have not felt right since, and I think it’s that quad down that did it to me. Overall incredible ride, and top 3 RMC in the country for me, but not as re-ridable as I would have liked.
The logo for the roller coaster is very similar to the US Air Force logo so that’s pretty fitting.
For comparison sake, what is the banking (degrees) of Steel Vengeance's outer bank turn?
I haven’t rode it yet but i only live 2:30 hours away from it so I’ll come back and say what I think in a few months also I’m going to cedar point this September
I cant wait to see there next ground up build
Most intense coaster I’ve been on by far
That truss dive looks more like the dive loop on a RMC Raptor than say, the dive loop on Goliath at Great America as it starts twisting really late.
I agree!
Imagine if someone called this a hybrid. Even though the whole structure is made out of steel lol!
That last inversion kinda looks like a revised take on the Maverick Heartline roll ngl.
My problem with the quad-down is that the airtime is too short. It feels like less than half a second of airtime on each hill. It is incredibly powerful airtime (maybe too powerful), but each pop is too short before you get slammed back down into your seat. This is the only coaster I've ridden that I think actually needs trim brakes.
It must be simillar to driving up to Energylandia... Time to visit the states again!!!!!
Not sure I could handle that finale. I remember Magnum XL-200's nearly tearing me in half like Bishop from Aliens.
