ArieForce One Stats: Height, Speed, G-Force & Records

ArieForce One packed more onto 3,400 feet of steel than almost any coaster in the country: a 154-foot lift, an 83-degree first drop, four inversions, and the largest Zero-G stall in the United States. Rocky Mountain Construction’s flagship at Fun Spot America Atlanta became an instant enthusiast pilgrimage site after opening in March 2023, climbing into the Golden Ticket Awards’ global Top 25 within two years.

Below is the full stat sheet — height, speed, G-forces, capacity, and every record the ride held — plus what’s happened since Fun Spot America Atlanta permanently closed on August 2, 2026, and put the coaster’s future in limbo.

Quick Answer

ArieForce One is a 154-foot RMC I-Box steel coaster that reached 64 mph across 3,400 feet of track, with a 146-foot, 83-degree first drop, 4 inversions, and 16 airtime moments. It holds the largest Zero-G stall in the U.S. and debuted the world’s first Raven Truss Dive. It operated at Fun Spot America Atlanta until the park permanently closed on August 2, 2026; CEO John Arie Jr. has hinted the coaster will resurface at another park, but no relocation has been officially confirmed.

Fun Spot America Atlanta Has Closed — What’s Next for ArieForce One

Fun Spot America Atlanta closed for good on August 2, 2026, ending ArieForce One’s three-year run in Fayetteville, Georgia. The park’s two other coasters, Hurricane Coaster and Sea Serpent, shut down the same day. CEO John Arie Jr. — the ride’s namesake — called it “an extremely difficult decision,” thanking staff and the community without detailing the business reasons behind the shutdown.

On the park’s final day, Arie fueled speculation about the coaster’s future by telling riders, “It’s not going to be your last ride on ArieForce One.” Enthusiast outlets have floated parks including Six Flags Great Adventure as possible destinations, since RMC coasters are periodically dismantled and rebuilt elsewhere, but as of this writing Fun Spot America has not confirmed a sale, buyer, or relocation site. ArieForce One’s future remains officially unannounced.

World Records & Signature Elements

ArieForce One’s headline claim to fame is the largest Zero-G stall in the United States — a moment where the train hangs riders upside down at a near-weightless angle for nearly four seconds, longer than on any comparable American coaster. Designer Joe Draves paired it with the world’s first Raven Truss Dive, a dive-loop-style inversion routed directly through the coaster’s own steel support structure rather than around it, a first for RMC and for the industry.

The layout also includes a Zero-G roll that passes directly over the park’s arcade building, a detail enthusiast outlets have flagged as one of the more unusual inversion placements on any American coaster, since it threads the ride through an existing structure instead of open air.

The Ride Experience

After a 154-foot lift hill, riders plunge down an 83-degree, 146-foot first drop before the layout launches into a relentless sequence of inversions and ejector airtime. The four inversions include a barrel roll, a Zero-G roll, and the centerpiece Zero-G stall, alongside the signature Raven Truss Dive. Across a run of roughly 100 seconds, the train delivers 16 distinct airtime moments and G-forces ranging from 3.75 positive G to -1 G, keeping riders guessing until the final brake run.

The Raven Truss Dive remains the most talked-about moment on the ride — enthusiasts consistently describe it as one of the most photogenic inversions in RMC’s catalog, since it lets riders see the coaster’s own structure whip past at close range mid-inversion.

Awards & Rankings

ArieForce One won the 2023 Golden Ticket Award for Best New Attraction Installation, a high-profile industry honor voted on by coaster enthusiasts worldwide (Wildcat’s Revenge at Hersheypark took that year’s Best New Roller Coaster award). In Amusement Today’s 2025 Golden Ticket Awards, it ranked #13 on the Top 25 Steel Coasters list worldwide, sitting between Phantom’s Revenge at Kennywood (#12) and Apollo’s Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg (#14) — a notable result for a coaster at a regional family entertainment center rather than a major theme park.

That ranking is part of what made the park’s closure sting for the enthusiast community: ArieForce One was still climbing global rankings and drawing dedicated road trips from riders across the country when the shutdown was announced, just over three years after it opened.
