This park is like my typical Planet Coaster park - simple with a huge coaster that’s drained all of my budget! Love it!
Hopefully they can make improvements to the rest of the park, as the RMC was absolutely spectacular!
8:01 So cute that little one cheering “I loved it”, a coaster fanatic in the making.
The Golden Ticket was for being a breakout Family Entertainment Center as a whole, not for just the arcade. You have to admit, very few FEC’s have an RMC, so it makes sense in that context, although it could be argued that adding an RMC removes the park from that FEC category.
Makes more sense now , thanks for explaining 😁
Thanks for sharing!
An 18 million dollar coaster in a park like that is mad. Amazing, but mad.
I have been dying to know what you 2 thought of this....l didn't need to hear your review - just listening to Charlotte's whoops of joy and the fact that Shawn said "jesus" said it all for me!!!! Great POV guys ❤🎉😂
It was absolutely amazing!
I thought the same!!!! Love it!!!🤪💞
Absolutely wild. Can you imagine if somewhere like Wicksteed plonked a random RMC down?
I'm a local to this park, and I swear to God hardly anyone around here even had a clue till the initial TH-cam videos started rolling out. The is not a great park choice for this ride. They will have to do a bit to pull people from six flags over ga (which also has a pretty decent rmc)
It seems like a huge mistake for fun spot to invest that much money into such a ratty park. Unless they have bigger plans, this will be a loss for them eventually
@TheFlower1212I think an RMC would be better for Thorpe Park
First UK RMC needs to be Blackpool. #Lancashire
That RMC is an outrageous investment for a park of that size fair play to sun spot.
Love the two little humps before the lift hill, as if to say here's a little taster for what's about to come
Crazy!
That last POV is a textbook demonstration of airtime through the medium of hair. Twenty parks in... you two are legends!
It was absolutely crazy the amount of airtime on that ride!
Right in my backyard! I haven't gone over to ride it quite yet, but am excited to get over there and give it a go. Welcome to Atlanta! Hope you guys enjoy your time here!
Brilliant ride!
I 100% agree that ArieForce One’s airtime is stronger than any other coaster I’ve experienced, but I only have 167 credits. You saying that with over 1,000 credits really puts things into perspective!
It’s absolutely crazy!
until you ride wildcat rmc at hershey
Ayyyeee!!! Me & the buddy made it to the vlog in a quick cameo! Soo nice meeting the two of you, really made my day and highlight of my trip down there!! 😁
Great to see you!
Fun Spot has two successful parks in central Florida - both of which are as developed as the properties will allow.. They bought this old theme park, which seems to have lots of space, and wanted to get on the map quickly. How do you do that? You put in a major coaster that will draw the coaster enthusists and put you on their radar. Then you invest heavily into this third park which already has a main draw. They are playing the long game and I think they are very smart.
Very exciting to see what they do next!
You have to remember it’s award winning for breakout family center, meaning they came out of nowhere and are making improvements. By no means is that the award for BEST arcade!
Hopefully they can make improvements to the rest of the park, as the RMC was absolutely spectacular!
@Theme Park Worldwide I had my 8th birthday party at Dixieland Fun Park in the 1990s.
They had 2 go kart tracks. One was like a neighborhood with hills, and the other one was really small and they sprayed water in the concrete.
They also had bumper boats, a huge mini golf course, an arcade and laser tag.
There were no roller coasters, and limited flat rides.(1 or 2)
I live just 9 miles from this park and have never been there. I guess I will go after seeing this video. Thanks for posting.
What did you think? I thought the ride was incredible!!
What a peculiar little park! It will be interesting to see how it will change during the next years.
I think Fun Spot is playing it smart. Put in a major coaster so that people will talk about you and then invest into the rest of the park. They built their major draw first.
Hopefully we’ll see some huge improvements to the rest of the park
Gosh I hope those 2 girls were OK. Looked like the one on the right had passed out
At $13M, I don’t know why every major park in the country or even internationally doesn’t have something like this! That’s a great bargain for one of the top coasters in the world.
Such a brilliant investment
Absolutely gut wrenching we still dont have an RMC in the UK. It's says everything about the state of the UK Theme Park industry that a small US park half the size of Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach has installed a ride that is superior to anything we have in this country.
This is such a brilliant ride!
just goes to show how crazy the airtime is when the little girls in front of you their hair was flying everywhere AHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣this ride looks so amazing
These two girls clearly had no fun on that coaster!
@@DJTooMass😂 they were trying to survive
@@k9feces Looks like the right one passed out in the valley of the first drop until the train hit the brake run.
Incredible hair time!
You guys got lucky with getting on Fury 325! A crack was discovered in the support yesterday
We’re so pleased that we got to ride it!
"Was like a shopping trolley" Best quote for that coaster! Looks like so much spine bending fun!!! Laughing so hard at both of your reactions!🤣🥰
defo one of your best on ride pov reactions, really gets the viewer to grasp a feel
Thank you!
You guys are so lucky in the USA for a month! Loved your vlogs thanks guys you looked to have had a epic trip. 👌
We’re having a great time!
32:43 hahah i laughed so much, your ”wooah” combined with the floating hairs in front xD
SO HAPPY for the back POV of ArieForce One!!! Thank you!!!! So fortunate to have the young ladies in front with the awesome hair! ..."Hair Time" Brilliant!!!!!!
The arcade was hilarious
Arie Force one does look great, was watching videos during construction! great seeing it running.
HAHA Love your reaction to ArieForce lol!! Looks like a wild ride :)
Brilliant ride!
Glad you guys liked it! Arieforce is my number 1 over Fury, Iron Gwazi, and Velocicoaster. It’s that good.
It’s absolutely amazing!
Same and beats all of those imo, and steve, Zadra, i305, voyage. It’s absolutely breathtaking experience
Bloody love you buggers your enthusiasm is so addictive, many thanks guys
Thank you!
I finally got here and rode Arieforce One today and HOLY GUACAMOLE is it fantastic!!! My little girl had a blast here. There were a lot of rides for little kids, so I was grateful. Everyone was very nice and friendly. The polar opposite from my experiences at six flags over ga. I will definitely be back
Amazing ride!
Hair Time! Great back pov
Crazy!
I went here for my first time a few days ago. I just uploaded my vlog with POV as well. Oh man, AF1 was way better than I expected.
Amazing ride!
Thank you so much for this awesome vlog. It was so epic to see one the newest and greatest coasters in the world!
Thank you! It’s an excellent ride!
Maybe the park is going to get a big facelift in the future, that’s why they brought in Airforce One.
Hi. Glad you visited. I grew up in Fayetteville and have moved back recently. To answer your question. Dixieland Fun Park was originally Dixieland Flea Market and all the concrete was a parking lot (originally just dirt) in front of the now Western themed buildings which was just stalls for all the vendors at the flea market. When it became a fun park, they paved the drive-the first rides were the bumper boats, two go cart tracks and a big putt putt golf course. Later they added the bungee jump and a zip line. I understand they removed the putt putt course when they built this new coaster.
At any rate, I hope it’s a good draw for our county.
Thanks for sharing!
What a crazy little park. Hopefully more development coming soon.
Love all your videos❤❤❤
Thank you!
What a great coaster in a unusual park lol. Look like fun though. You make everything look fun 😊great vid guys so sad only 5 parks left 😢 drive safe can’t wait for next vid ❤ Lisa
Brilliant vlog
This park looks quite interesting. But I would love to see more coasters in the future. I can see a Mack Coaster going in here in future
The Golden Ticket is for the entire Fun Spot Atlanta complex (including all the rides), not the arcade itself.
Hopefully they can make improvements to the rest of the park, as the RMC was absolutely spectacular!
Awesome Video Guys
You get around brother! God bless.
We like to keep busy!
Thanks for the back seat POV on this one!!
It was brilliant!
I’ve arrived in Salou today. Just driving past portaventura was incredible. Shambhala is beautiful. I cannot wait to ride it on Monday! Hoping for a new top 1!
Love how Sean trying to find something nice to say about the arched and he says the carpet nice 🤣
Love watching your videos with my mum x
Thank you!
airforce looked brilliant. great vlog 😃
Epic ride!
wow Arieforce one pov, i felt like i was on it, i was whooo-hooing with you shawn!!!
It was incredible
I’m so glad you enjoyed Arie force
I think the idea of building the rmc is to get their name out there and bring visitors to the park which will generate funds to improve the park
Let’s hope so!
I think the first UK park to get an RMC is on to a winner. Question is which park will get one and when?
Merlin have the money, but they are all coastered out for the next few years.
Flamingo land just got Sik, but would have been ideally placed for an RMC - a missed opportunity. Drayton Manor is going for family. Paulton’s might not have the budget, nor Oakwood. Blackpool Pleasure Beach would be my bet, as they seem to be next for a new coaster and can free up space.
My bet is Paultons. They have been very shrewd with their investments in the last decade but the park still lacks a major thrill coaster, an RMC would put them on the global map. Saying that I’d love an RMC intertwined around all the other coasters at Blackpool, but they’d need to become a full amusement park again to justify the investment IMO.
Love this shawn and Charlotte
Thanks!
Love watching your American road trip vlog. Keep up the great content!!
Thank you!
Enjoyed 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
The main entrance used to be right when you turned off the road, instead of winding down to the parking on the side. Yes, you used to pull in and park right in front of the building. There used to be a fantastic indoor playground where those bumper cars are. I've taken all my kids to many birthday parties there. There was a laser tag inside. There used to be batting cages. They got rid of 2 nice mini golf courses to put the roller coaster in. The tiny little ferris wheel used to be inside and party guests got to ride it. As others have pointed out, the Golden Ticket was not specific to the arcade. You should have realized that when you read the banner, and then laid off mocking the arcade. I have followed your journey from the start and looked forward to each parks vlog, but I was dreading this one and correctly so. I do love how you ride all the coasters in a park from the littlest one on up and aren't too good or "old" for those.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Let’s hope this park gets some more investment to match the awesome new coaster!
Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte, I’ve enjoyed all your content so far from your epic month long USA 🇺🇸 road trip on this channel and on the Sanbrooke Adventures as well ☺️🥰
Thank you!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide you’re welcome
This has to be Fun Spots first big investment besides the new entrance and somewhat parking lot because almost everything that's there has been there since i use to go when it was Dixieland
My friends who have rode ArieForce One said it is great but 1 bunny hill away from too much! I would still like to ride it ... thanks for the POV!!! Great job for what you had to work with ...
It’s absolutely crazy!
What an unbelievable ride, I've never heard Shawn screaming that much on a ride before lmao! I agree with what you said about the airtime with the RMC trains, it hurts, especially in your shins and upper legs. I wish they could improve the restraints, that way one could really take in and enjoy the airtime more! On the Intamin woodies for example, the airtime does not hurt at all!
It was absolutely brilliant!
Sean with the dodgeball reference , wasn’t verbatim but he says “ interesting strategy, we’ll see how it pays off”
ooh thank you for the pov's!! hurricane was a rough one for sure!! i think the smaller rides are more unstable perhaps?
Nothing unstable about them
🎢 Simply stunning looking ride in the style of traditional large out & back USA 🇺🇸Wooden coasters but obviously with the high tech multi element track 😀
Thanks for watching!
I think a criticism I have for Alton towers is that they don’t stay open later in peak periods, during the spring and summer holidays, an extra few hours would make a huge difference given some of the line lengths!
It would indeed!
Maaan!...I love your Vlogs...Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
7:33 Fun stop Atlanta uses the same safety signs at the Disney Parks we are all very familiar with.
Come on Flamingo Land you need to get one of these!
Great RMC but the rest of the park is still a work in progress. The ownership supposedly has a lot of plans for this park in the future but its going to be a long term project.
They put this in to get the publicity needed to make this park successful. They put in the major ride first and now they will build out the rest of the park. Very smart move.
They should get that Coney Island Luna Park vibe going with some sleek Zamperla's, a couple of water rides, a world class woodie and a plethora of top rate food options. 👍👍👍
Nice & good vlog, really enjoyed and look forward to more USA road trip videos in future. Loved Aqua fresh the rollercoaster at this park, looks epic and a nice colour for track. I am joking about name, but think this park missed an opportunity for branding with either Pepsi or Aqua fresh Toothpaste. As has same colours of it, wow for an RMC Structured coaster, it really does look good. Don't normally like the structure of these, but this one think if built in UK it would fit landscape especially with colours and theming it has? Love the look of it, the trains also look good & yeah, really good addition for this park. Hoping be a good new exciting future for this park, with overtime new attractions, coasters and more added. Nice vlog again, enjoyed and cheers. 😀👍
Great little park guys, reminds me of a funfair back home. Hopefully the owners make it work for them and invest in the park and attractions. Love the videos about the smaller independent parks guys, find them so interesting.
Thank you!
The parent in me kicked in when pov with the two girls infront hair flying about or maybe i watch too many films like final destination. Said to my daughter now on your hairs getting tied up as was thinking my god what if there hair catchs something, dad will be carrying loads bobbles and hair clasps from now on 😂😂😂
Having just moved to GA not too long ago, looking forward to visiting some theme parks even though I've heard Ops in many are less than stellar. Agree with others' comments that the AFO coaster looks so out of place in what looks like a theme park straight out of the 1980's lol. Nevertheless, will give it a go!
Great mini park this. My brother lives close to here and enjoys a visit when he gets time off work with his partner and friends, he always talks about it.
We had a great time!
Arieforce one doesn't look like it's playing around. It's like, "you're gonna spend half the time in the air, forget the track"
excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Fun Spot America Atlanta located in Georgia, the 20th theme park of our USA Road Trip! In this vlog, we share on-ride POVs from ArieForce One, a spectacular new roller coaster built by Rocky Mountain Construction that opened at the park this year. We also take you on board some of the other rides on offer at the park, along with checking out everything Fun Spot America Atlanta has to offer! 😀😎👍👍
Arie Force looks good, hopefully Funspot will add more interesting developments here.
I absolutely love the heritage of the wooden coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach , but it would really make so much sense to add an RMC. It would be such a great addition (even if one of the woodies would need to give up their space) 😊
Agreed, I think replacing grand national would be the best choice as they have all that room at the back.
@@kieranrhodes4848 Grand National and the rest of the woodies apart from Nickelodeon Streak are listed buildings so can't be removed.
Nah don't remove any pb woodies,instead just remove steeplechase or avalanche both of them take up considerable space that could be put to better use imo
I’d rather see them add a ground up RMC!
The UK needs an RMC 😫 so frustrating as it doesn't look like it is happening anytime soon. Yes I'm excited for Exodus despite concern for the short layout. But I still feel an RMC would have been better chioce, would go down well with enthusiasts and the GP.
I just love how out of place ArieForce One is, it's hilarious. It's the best coaster is in Georgia
Amazing ride!
It a great RMC and also I saw you there I was wearing a Millennium force shirt and I got to say hi to you it was really cool I was actually in the video at 34:23 their is the person in the blue shirt waving and that’s ME
Great to see you!
Yea it was great to see you too
Definitely an odd investment for this type of park, but ArieForce One looks amazing. Definitely would love to ride it one day. Hopefully like you guys said it brings people in and they can make additional investments to improve the park as a whole.
It’s such an incredible ride!
The UK need a RMC!!!!
Bless you guys for having a higher expectation for FunSpot Atlanta, but…I guess you have to discover some things for yourself. They’ve obviously spent a lot of money on that new RMC but the rest of the park looks like a church yard carnival. 😆
I really, really hope y’all do a ranking video after the trip is all said and done. I want to know your favorite coaster, favorite park, favorite state, etc.
That would be great to see. That Dollywood loco would have to feature highly as favourite non-coaster attraction. It's stunning.
I would love it if flamingo land just chucked an RMC in there over looking the caravan park lol
Now that would be epic!
32:41 I CANT BREATE THE HAIR LMAOOO
Hi shawn and Charlotte I went on Iron Gwazi in May this year . I'm sure it didn't have seat belts just the restraints, ?? . This is great having a RMC in this park is hope it works out for them . I wish they would put a RMC at my home park Thorpe Park. Loving the trip thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx
Iron Gwazi has seat belts too
@@casuallystalled Hi thanks for letting me know. I rode so many coasters I couldn't remember. I'm 52 and I have to say iron Gwazi scared me . I'd never been on such a tall fast and lap bar ride . I'm glad I went on it though.
thats like ocena beach pleasure park smacking an RMC on the beach. wild stuff
Same with that Swedish zoo that smacked an RMC in the back of their zoo
What a strange place for such an investment. Hope fun spot knows what they are doing. We have rinky dink little theme park here in Oregon called enchanted forest. This feels the same as if we got an RMC like this at enchanted forest.
Great video! Carowinds in my neck of the woods! Have fun...however. Fury 325 was just shut down for a major crack in a support beam😢
Luckily we got to ride it last week before this happened!
The Ozarks TV show vibe
I still don't quite get putting an RMC here, but I'm coming to ride it this August.
It’s definitely worth travelling to experience this ride!
Maybe i'm weird, but i honestly think stapling yourself for the ending quad down helps it not hurt as bad. Love AF1, have been on it 240 times now
Shawn and Charlotte,
That Coaster is like someone one with a small income buying Versace dress:)
That parking lot Park needs a major landscape overhaul.
At least they could do some creative painting on the ground...yikes!
Do you have any idea what the plans are for the future, because it's going to take a long time
to repay the cost cost that one coaster.
Something sees off about the investment, very puzzling.
At least you get a chance to really ride and ride and ride, except for the boneshaker, eh Charlotte:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Woo
Looks like an RMC take on Phoenix At Knoebels
What an amazing coaster in a very random little park. That airtime looked wicked. Onwards to Carowinds, I'm very interested to hear TPW's thoughts on Fury 325, presuming you guys were there after that huge support structure crack was found.
It’s absolutely brilliant! Our vlog from Carowinds will be on the way today, we visited the day after this!
@@ThemeParkWorldwide I am looking forward to seeing it. I am relieved to see nobody was hurt and there was no incident on Fury.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii theme park worldwide
