Work on the new ArieForce One rollercoaster at the Fun Spot America theme park in Atlanta, Georgia, will commence today (January 6) following a groundbreaking ceremony.
Manufactured by Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC), the US$13 m (€11.5 m, £9.6 m) steel coaster is scheduled to open later this year.

The ride will also feature a themed queue line inspired by John Arie Sr's childhood passion for aviation.

“ArieForce One is a tribute to my father’s passion for flying, and with all of the airtime moments and weightlessness this RMC coaster provides"
