Here is a great surprise announcement - Fun Spot Atlanta has revealed that they are currently working with Rocky Mountain Construction on a brand new roller coaster for the park's 2022 season.  Still in the design process phase, the park and RMC are not yet giving more details on the coaster, only stating that it will be a "huge" addition to the park and will open in 2022.


Well, actually there was one more interesting detail in the press release, and that is that the new coaster will be Fun Spot's "largest roller coaster investment ever."  Fun Spot has added White Lightning, a Great Coasters International wooden ride, to Fun Spot Orlando and Mine Blower, a Gravity Group wooden coaster, to Fun Spot Kissimmee in the past.  Specifically, Roller Coaster Database says that Mine Blower costs $6 million, so this new project would be above that figure.

Notably, it has not yet been revealed if the RMC ride at Fun Spot Atlanta will be a wooden coaster, which could have different styles of track, or a steel Raptor ride.  Or perhaps even something new.  Fun Spot says that the new coaster will be the first of several "marquee" attractions added to Fun Spot Atlanta in the coming years.


Fun Spot Atlanta is currently pursuing a naming rights deal with one of the Atlanta area's major sports teams for the new ride.  More details on the project will come in the future, so stay tuned!
