Fun Spot Atlanta Teases New for 2022 Rocky Mountain Ibox Coaster

Fun Spot Atlanta is having a good time slowly releasing teases about their 2022 roller coaster project, which is being built by Rocky Mountain Construction.  First they released the fact that the project was underway, but with no additional details.  Then they posted a picture of the ride's steel track being fabricated, still a mysterious tease, but today's update is very telling.

Once the curtains seen up top were pulled back (see the full post here), this image was revealed:

The big news gained from this photo is that the ride will not be one of Rocky Mountain's Raptor coasters, instead it will utilize their Ibox track.  Rocky Mountain's Ibox hybrid coasters are regarded as some of the best on the planet, so the ride coming to Fun Spot Atlanta next year is going to be in some seriously good company when it opens.

Rocky Mountain has utilized their Ibox track on many conversion projects, taking older wooden coasters and creating truly wild rides out of them.  For example, Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point, Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas and Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion.  So far they have only done one from-the-ground-up Hybrid Ibox ride, and that's the impressive Zadra at Energylandia in Poland.

While we're assuming that the Fun Spot America ride will utilize wooden supports to make it a hybrid ride, the real takeaway remains that this will be Rocky Mountain's second new build of this type.  With Zadra as their first, that's quite a ride to follow up!

Granted I do not anticipate the Fun Spot Atlanta ride being the size of Zadra, but the fact that Rocky Mountain and its designers are starting with a blank slate is quite exciting.  There's still plenty to speculate on, from the ride's name to its layout and inversion line up - heck even what color they'll paint the Ibox track!  It'll be fun to watch those details unfold.
