Fun Spot America posted a video of a flatbed full of Rocky Mountain Construction crates at its Orlando park Monday with a cheeky caption. It comes two months after Fun Spot sold its RMC-built ArieForce One to Six Flags.
Fun Spot America's next coaster might already be sitting in the parking lot.
The park chain posted a short Instagram video Monday, Nov. 9, showing a flatbed truck loaded with large wooden crates stamped with the Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) logo at Fun Spot America Orlando, near International Drive, Attractions Magazine reported.
The caption: "Excuse me, you can't park here?"
That's it. Fun Spot hasn't said what's in the crates, and there's no announced ride, height or opening date. Attractions Magazine also pointed out the crates could be for an upgrade to an existing ride instead of a brand-new coaster.
The timing is what has coaster fans squinting. In August, Fun Spot closed its Atlanta-area park, and in September it sold that park's star ride, the RMC-built ArieForce One, to Six Flags.
What did Fun Spot's CEO say about a new coaster?
In September, Fun Spot America CEO John Arie Jr. teased another roller coaster for one of the company's two Central Florida parks in a podcast-style video, FOX 35 Orlando reported. He didn't say which park.
He did name two possible builders: Rocky Mountain Construction and Premier Rides. Now RMC crates are parked in Orlando. Subtle.
"We've got new things going on," Arie said in the video. "You'll start seeing Fun Spot grow again."
Which Fun Spot park got the RMC delivery?
Orlando, the International Drive park, based on the video Fun Spot shared, according to Attractions Magazine.
That's a little surprising. Fun Spot's only RMC work in Florida so far was at the other park. In 2023, RMC re-tracked parts of Mine Blower, the wooden coaster at Fun Spot Kissimmee, with its steel 208 ReTrak system on the sections that take the most force, Attractions Magazine reported at the time.
Mine Blower is a Gravity Group woodie that drops 80 feet straight into an inversion. The Orlando park's wooden coaster is White Lightning, so fans can start their guessing now.
What happened to ArieForce One?
Fun Spot America Atlanta in Fayetteville, Georgia, closed for good on Aug. 2, 2026, after 36 years. That left Orlando and Kissimmee as the company's only parks.
ArieForce One opened there on March 31, 2023. The RMC coaster stands 154 feet tall and hits 64 mph, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. Attractions Magazine put its price tag at about $13 million.
Six Flags bought the ride in September and plans to reopen it in 2028 or 2029. In late October, Six Flags confirmed it's headed to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, which PNP covered Monday.
"The most important thing to me is that it stayed ArieForce One," Arie told FOX 35, since Six Flags is keeping the name.
What else is coming to Fun Spot Orlando?
A few rides from the closed Atlanta park are moving south, according to FOX 35 and Attractions Magazine:
Fun Spot Orlando: Screaming Eagles and a Frog Hopper from Atlanta.
Fun Spot Kissimmee: Atlanta's Tilt-A-Whirl.
Mach Fun: A new interactive, 360-degree flying jet ride from SBF Visa Group, slated to open in Orlando around Thanksgiving. It's not from Atlanta.
Fun Spot's website also lists a free drone show at the Orlando park on Nov. 18 at 6:30 p.m. and a Passholder Appreciation Day on Nov. 14.
What coasters does Fun Spot have now?
Fun Spot Orlando opened in 1997 as Fun Spot Action Park and grew into its current form in 2013. Its coasters:
White Lightning: A Great Coasters International wooden coaster from 2013, billed as Orlando's only wooden roller coaster.
Freedom Flyer: A Vekoma suspended family coaster.
Sea Serpent: A small family coaster.
Fun Spot Kissimmee, on U.S. 192, has Mine Blower (82 feet tall, 48.5 mph, with a barrel roll), Hurricane, Galaxy Spin and its own Sea Serpent.
How much does Fun Spot cost?
Fun Spot advertises free parking and free admission. You pay for rides with a pass. Right now the website lists a 2027 Season Pass for $89.95 as part of a Black Friday promotion, with an Ultimate Season Pass at $229.95.
If a new RMC coaster really is coming, that season pass might end up being the best $90 a Central Florida coaster fan spends this year. We'll know more when Fun Spot opens the crates.
