I’m a bit late to writing this one, but I’m here nevertheless. The last night that I got to ride ArieForce One was on July 31, 2026, and what a night it was. Over the past three years I have never seen Fun Spot Atlanta as packed as it was that night. Luckily, I had got up there earlier in the week to get some laps in, because on this evening, I was only able to ride once. Even though I only got one ride, it was one of the most worthwhile trips to a park I’ve ever had.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, Hilton Grand Vacations keeps offering me 3-day, 4-night hotel packages at an extremely discounted rate — even free, sometimes. Despite my repeated honesty regarding my (poor) financial situation, I was offered another trip sometime last year, and one of the options was Gatlinburg, TN. Considering my coaster enthusiast proclivities and the fact that one of the hotels offered to me was extraordinarily close to Dollywood, I naturally chose this option. This review will cover my 2-day visit that took place in March of this year.
