Fun Spot America Closes Atlanta, Rides Move to Orlando, Kissimmee

Fun Spot has closed its longtime Atlanta-area park and is relocating several rides to its two remaining locations in Orlando and Kissimmee. Along with the relocated rides, a brand-new attraction is also headed to Central Florida in the coming months.

Why Did Fun Spot Close Its Atlanta Park?

Fun Spot America closed its Fayetteville, Georgia park on August 2, 2026, after 36 years, leaving Orlando and Kissimmee as the company’s only two locations. Rather than retiring the Atlanta rides, CEO John Arie Jr. announced in a company video that several would be relocated to the Florida parks.

What’s Coming to the Kissimmee Park?

The Tilt-A-Whirl from the Atlanta park is relocating to Fun Spot America Kissimmee. The classic spinning ride was a longtime guest favorite at the Georgia location before its closure.

What’s Coming to the Orlando Park?

Two rides from Atlanta — Screaming Eagles and Frog Hopper — are headed to Fun Spot America Orlando. Frog Hopper, a family-friendly drop ride, is expected to be a hit with younger visitors.

Is Orlando Getting a Brand-New Ride Too?

Yes — a new attraction called Mach Fun is set to open around Thanksgiving 2026. Described as a first-of-its-kind interactive 360-degree flying jet ride from manufacturer SBF Visa Group, it will be an entirely new experience for the Orlando park rather than a relocation from Atlanta.

Is a New Roller Coaster Coming to Central Florida?

Arie also hinted at the possibility of a new roller coaster for one of the Florida parks, though nothing is confirmed yet. He mentioned manufacturers Premier Rides and Rocky Mountain Construction in the announcement — a name worth watching for Central Florida thrill-seekers in the months ahead.

What Happened to Atlanta’s Signature Coaster?

ArieForce One, the Atlanta park’s largest ride, was too big to relocate to either Florida park and was sold to Six Flags instead. The zero-G stall coaster, named in honor of Arie’s father, is expected to reopen at an undisclosed Six Flags location in 2028 or 2029.

What This Means

Fun Spot’s Atlanta closure marks the end of an era for that park, but it’s good news for Central Florida — Orlando and Kissimmee are picking up proven, guest-favorite rides plus an entirely new attraction before the year is out. Combined with the teased possibility of a new coaster, it’s a sign that Fun Spot is doubling down on its two Florida parks as the company’s focus going forward.
