Fun Spot America Atlanta Vlog June 2023 

This park is like my typical Planet Coaster park - simple with a huge coaster that’s drained all of my budget! Love it!

8:01 So cute that little one cheering “I loved it”, a coaster fanatic in the making.

The Golden Ticket was for being a breakout Family Entertainment Center as a whole, not for just the arcade. You have to admit, very few FEC’s have an RMC, so it makes sense in that context, although it could be argued that adding an RMC removes the park from that FEC category.

An 18 million dollar coaster in a park like that is mad. Amazing, but mad.

I have been dying to know what you 2 thought of this....l didn't need to hear your review - just listening to Charlotte's whoops of joy and the fact that Shawn said "jesus" said it all for me!!!! Great POV guys ❤🎉😂

Absolutely wild. Can you imagine if somewhere like Wicksteed plonked a random RMC down?

That last POV is a textbook demonstration of airtime through the medium of hair. Twenty parks in... you two are legends!

Right in my backyard! I haven't gone over to ride it quite yet, but am excited to get over there and give it a go. Welcome to Atlanta! Hope you guys enjoy your time here!

Love the two little humps before the lift hill, as if to say here's a little taster for what's about to come

I 100% agree that ArieForce One’s airtime is stronger than any other coaster I’ve experienced, but I only have 167 credits. You saying that with over 1,000 credits really puts things into perspective!

Fun Spot has two successful parks in central Florida - both of which are as developed as the properties will allow.. They bought this old theme park, which seems to have lots of space, and wanted to get on the map quickly. How do you do that? You put in a major coaster that will draw the coaster enthusists and put you on their radar. Then you invest heavily into this third park which already has a main draw. They are playing the long game and I think they are very smart.

Ayyyeee!!! Me & the buddy made it to the vlog in a quick cameo! Soo nice meeting the two of you, really made my day and highlight of my trip down there!! 😁

You have to remember it’s award winning for breakout family center, meaning they came out of nowhere and are making improvements. By no means is that the award for BEST arcade!

At $13M, I don’t know why every major park in the country or even internationally doesn’t have something like this! That’s a great bargain for one of the top coasters in the world.

Gosh I hope those 2 girls were OK. Looked like the one on the right had passed out

Absolutely gut wrenching we still dont have an RMC in the UK. It's says everything about the state of the UK Theme Park industry that a small US park half the size of Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach has installed a ride that is superior to anything we have in this country.

@Theme Park Worldwide I had my 8th birthday party at Dixieland Fun Park in the 1990s. They had 2 go kart tracks. One was like a neighborhood with hills, and the other one was really small and they sprayed water in the concrete. They also had bumper boats, a huge mini golf course, an arcade and laser tag. There were no roller coasters, and limited flat rides.(1 or 2)

"Was like a shopping trolley" Best quote for that coaster! Looks like so much spine bending fun!!! Laughing so hard at both of your reactions!🤣🥰

just goes to show how crazy the airtime is when the little girls in front of you their hair was flying everywhere AHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣this ride looks so amazing

What a peculiar little park! It will be interesting to see how it will change during the next years.

32:43 hahah i laughed so much, your ”wooah” combined with the floating hairs in front xD

defo one of your best on ride pov reactions, really gets the viewer to grasp a feel

You guys got lucky with getting on Fury 325! A crack was discovered in the support yesterday

The arcade was hilarious

You guys are so lucky in the USA for a month! Loved your vlogs thanks guys you looked to have had a epic trip. 👌

I live just 9 miles from this park and have never been there. I guess I will go after seeing this video. Thanks for posting.

SO HAPPY for the back POV of ArieForce One!!! Thank you!!!! So fortunate to have the young ladies in front with the awesome hair! ..."Hair Time" Brilliant!!!!!!

Glad you guys liked it! Arieforce is my number 1 over Fury, Iron Gwazi, and Velocicoaster. It’s that good.

Maybe the park is going to get a big facelift in the future, that’s why they brought in Airforce One.

I finally got here and rode Arieforce One today and HOLY GUACAMOLE is it fantastic!!! My little girl had a blast here. There were a lot of rides for little kids, so I was grateful. Everyone was very nice and friendly. The polar opposite from my experiences at six flags over ga. I will definitely be back

The Golden Ticket is for the entire Fun Spot Atlanta complex (including all the rides), not the arcade itself.

Hi. Glad you visited. I grew up in Fayetteville and have moved back recently. To answer your question. Dixieland Fun Park was originally Dixieland Flea Market and all the concrete was a parking lot (originally just dirt) in front of the now Western themed buildings which was just stalls for all the vendors at the flea market. When it became a fun park, they paved the drive-the first rides were the bumper boats, two go cart tracks and a big putt putt golf course. Later they added the bungee jump and a zip line. I understand they removed the putt putt course when they built this new coaster. At any rate, I hope it’s a good draw for our county.

Arie Force one does look great, was watching videos during construction! great seeing it running.

HAHA Love your reaction to ArieForce lol!! Looks like a wild ride :)

Bloody love you buggers your enthusiasm is so addictive, many thanks guys

excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Fun Spot America Atlanta located in Georgia, the 20th theme park of our USA Road Trip! In this vlog, we share on-ride POVs from ArieForce One, a spectacular new roller coaster built by Rocky Mountain Construction that opened at the park this year. We also take you on board some of the other rides on offer at the park, along with checking out everything Fun Spot America Atlanta has to offer! 😀😎👍👍

Brilliant vlog

Hair Time! Great back pov

I think the idea of building the rmc is to get their name out there and bring visitors to the park which will generate funds to improve the park

Love all your videos❤❤❤

What a crazy little park. Hopefully more development coming soon.

You get around brother! God bless.

Awesome Video Guys

I think a criticism I have for Alton towers is that they don’t stay open later in peak periods, during the spring and summer holidays, an extra few hours would make a huge difference given some of the line lengths!

Thank you so much for this awesome vlog. It was so epic to see one the newest and greatest coasters in the world!

Another brilliant vlog! How quickly this trip has been going! Love it guys x

What a great coaster in a unusual park lol. Look like fun though. You make everything look fun 😊great vid guys so sad only 5 parks left 😢 drive safe can’t wait for next vid ❤ Lisa

I went here for my first time a few days ago. I just uploaded my vlog with POV as well. Oh man, AF1 was way better than I expected.

I think the first UK park to get an RMC is on to a winner. Question is which park will get one and when? Merlin have the money, but they are all coastered out for the next few years. Flamingo land just got Sik, but would have been ideally placed for an RMC - a missed opportunity. Drayton Manor is going for family. Paulton’s might not have the budget, nor Oakwood. Blackpool Pleasure Beach would be my bet, as they seem to be next for a new coaster and can free up space.

The main entrance used to be right when you turned off the road, instead of winding down to the parking on the side. Yes, you used to pull in and park right in front of the building. There used to be a fantastic indoor playground where those bumper cars are. I've taken all my kids to many birthday parties there. There was a laser tag inside. There used to be batting cages. They got rid of 2 nice mini golf courses to put the roller coaster in. The tiny little ferris wheel used to be inside and party guests got to ride it. As others have pointed out, the Golden Ticket was not specific to the arcade. You should have realized that when you read the banner, and then laid off mocking the arcade. I have followed your journey from the start and looked forward to each parks vlog, but I was dreading this one and correctly so. I do love how you ride all the coasters in a park from the littlest one on up and aren't too good or "old" for those.

Love watching your videos with my mum x

Thanks for the back seat POV on this one!!

airforce looked brilliant. great vlog 😃

Sean with the dodgeball reference , wasn’t verbatim but he says “ interesting strategy, we’ll see how it pays off”

Love how Sean trying to find something nice to say about the arched and he says the carpet nice 🤣

I’m so glad you enjoyed Arie force

I’ve arrived in Salou today. Just driving past portaventura was incredible. Shambhala is beautiful. I cannot wait to ride it on Monday! Hoping for a new top 1!

Arieforce one doesn't look like it's playing around. It's like, "you're gonna spend half the time in the air, forget the track"

Love this shawn and Charlotte

Great Vlog as always Shawn and Charlotte, I’ve enjoyed all your content so far from your epic month long USA 🇺🇸 road trip on this channel and on the Sanbrooke Adventures as well ☺️🥰

This has to be Fun Spots first big investment besides the new entrance and somewhat parking lot because almost everything that's there has been there since i use to go when it was Dixieland

This park looks quite interesting. But I would love to see more coasters in the future. I can see a Mack Coaster going in here in future

wow Arieforce one pov, i felt like i was on it, i was whooo-hooing with you shawn!!!

Enjoyed 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

Maaan!...I love your Vlogs...Keep up the great work!

Great RMC but the rest of the park is still a work in progress. The ownership supposedly has a lot of plans for this park in the future but its going to be a long term project.

ooh thank you for the pov's!! hurricane was a rough one for sure!! i think the smaller rides are more unstable perhaps?

Come on Flamingo Land you need to get one of these!

7:33 Fun stop Atlanta uses the same safety signs at the Disney Parks we are all very familiar with.

The UK need a RMC!!!!

My friends who have rode ArieForce One said it is great but 1 bunny hill away from too much! I would still like to ride it ... thanks for the POV!!! Great job for what you had to work with ...

The parent in me kicked in when pov with the two girls infront hair flying about or maybe i watch too many films like final destination. Said to my daughter now on your hairs getting tied up as was thinking my god what if there hair catchs something, dad will be carrying loads bobbles and hair clasps from now on 😂😂😂

What an unbelievable ride, I've never heard Shawn screaming that much on a ride before lmao! I agree with what you said about the airtime with the RMC trains, it hurts, especially in your shins and upper legs. I wish they could improve the restraints, that way one could really take in and enjoy the airtime more! On the Intamin woodies for example, the airtime does not hurt at all!

I just love how out of place ArieForce One is, it's hilarious. It's the best coaster is in Georgia

They should get that Coney Island Luna Park vibe going with some sleek Zamperla's, a couple of water rides, a world class woodie and a plethora of top rate food options. 👍👍👍

Great little park guys, reminds me of a funfair back home. Hopefully the owners make it work for them and invest in the park and attractions. Love the videos about the smaller independent parks guys, find them so interesting.

🎢 Simply stunning looking ride in the style of traditional large out & back USA 🇺🇸Wooden coasters but obviously with the high tech multi element track 😀

Great mini park this. My brother lives close to here and enjoys a visit when he gets time off work with his partner and friends, he always talks about it.

The Ozarks TV show vibe

Having just moved to GA not too long ago, looking forward to visiting some theme parks even though I've heard Ops in many are less than stellar. Agree with others' comments that the AFO coaster looks so out of place in what looks like a theme park straight out of the 1980's lol. Nevertheless, will give it a go!

32:41 I CANT BREATE THE HAIR LMAOOO

Nice & good vlog, really enjoyed and look forward to more USA road trip videos in future. Loved Aqua fresh the rollercoaster at this park, looks epic and a nice colour for track. I am joking about name, but think this park missed an opportunity for branding with either Pepsi or Aqua fresh Toothpaste. As has same colours of it, wow for an RMC Structured coaster, it really does look good. Don't normally like the structure of these, but this one think if built in UK it would fit landscape especially with colours and theming it has? Love the look of it, the trains also look good & yeah, really good addition for this park. Hoping be a good new exciting future for this park, with overtime new attractions, coasters and more added. Nice vlog again, enjoyed and cheers. 😀👍

I really, really hope y’all do a ranking video after the trip is all said and done. I want to know your favorite coaster, favorite park, favorite state, etc.

I absolutely love the heritage of the wooden coasters at Blackpool Pleasure Beach , but it would really make so much sense to add an RMC. It would be such a great addition (even if one of the woodies would need to give up their space) 😊

Bless you guys for having a higher expectation for FunSpot Atlanta, but…I guess you have to discover some things for yourself. They’ve obviously spent a lot of money on that new RMC but the rest of the park looks like a church yard carnival. 😆

Arie Force looks good, hopefully Funspot will add more interesting developments here.

Definitely an odd investment for this type of park, but ArieForce One looks amazing. Definitely would love to ride it one day. Hopefully like you guys said it brings people in and they can make additional investments to improve the park as a whole.

Looks like an RMC take on Phoenix At Knoebels

Maybe i'm weird, but i honestly think stapling yourself for the ending quad down helps it not hurt as bad. Love AF1, have been on it 240 times now

Great video! Carowinds in my neck of the woods! Have fun...however. Fury 325 was just shut down for a major crack in a support beam😢

Woo

Hi shawn and Charlotte I went on Iron Gwazi in May this year . I'm sure it didn't have seat belts just the restraints, ?? . This is great having a RMC in this park is hope it works out for them . I wish they would put a RMC at my home park Thorpe Park. Loving the trip thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕 xxxx

I would love it if flamingo land just chucked an RMC in there over looking the caravan park lol

thats like ocena beach pleasure park smacking an RMC on the beach. wild stuff

What a strange place for such an investment. Hope fun spot knows what they are doing. We have rinky dink little theme park here in Oregon called enchanted forest. This feels the same as if we got an RMC like this at enchanted forest.

It a great RMC and also I saw you there I was wearing a Millennium force shirt and I got to say hi to you it was really cool I was actually in the video at 34:23 their is the person in the blue shirt waving and that’s ME

Shawn and Charlotte, That Coaster is like someone one with a small income buying Versace dress:) That parking lot Park needs a major landscape overhaul. At least they could do some creative painting on the ground...yikes! Do you have any idea what the plans are for the future, because it's going to take a long time to repay the cost cost that one coaster. Something sees off about the investment, very puzzling. At least you get a chance to really ride and ride and ride, except for the boneshaker, eh Charlotte:) Cheers, Rik Spector

What an amazing coaster in a very random little park. That airtime looked wicked. Onwards to Carowinds, I'm very interested to hear TPW's thoughts on Fury 325, presuming you guys were there after that huge support structure crack was found.

I still don't quite get putting an RMC here, but I'm coming to ride it this August.

I feel like this investment has a lot to do with the 2026 world cup. Its not that far from the Mercedes-Benz stadium
