Heavy Work on ArieForce One Now Underway at Fun Spot America Atlanta

Over the past month Fun Spot America Atlanta has started some heavy construction work on their brand new Rocky Mountain Construction roller coaster, named ArieForce One.  They've been sharing images of the work that's underway and with some of the ride now standing I think it is time to catch up.


Up top is a photo form when work just started, with a big portion of the ride's layout to be included in the open area seen here.  Land clearing didn't take long in this section of the park, as it was mostly empty to start.

It didn't take long for footers to start to go into that large open area, seen in the photo above.  The ride's 154 foot lift hill will be located here, along with the 146 foot first drop, Raven Truss Dive and a giant Zero-G Stall.  The remainder of the layout will be intertwined with the existing park.

It wasn't long before ArieForce One took to the sky, with the first steel support structures being put into place.  Granted it's kind of gloomy in this photo, but it was a big occasion for the park to get the first bright white supports put up!

Finally, we have a very impressive aerial look at the ride's construction as of a week or so ago.  There's plenty of supports up now, framing what will be the ride's lift and first drop, with the Zero-G Stall hanging underneath them.  The beefy supports for the Raven Truss Dive can also be seen, waiting their turn for supports to go on top of them.


I'm sure construction will continue at a quick pace from here on out, so stay tuned for more updates.
