After the previous airtime hill ArieForce One heads over the Fun Spot America Atlanta's main building which houses the parks arcade, party rooms, and offices.  Unfortunately, with the majority of the park closed I was not able to walk around to the back of the building to get pictures of the coasters turnaround.  The turnaround consists of a zero g roll, another outward banked turn, a turnaround, and a barrel roll that are all low to the ground taken at full speed.  It is quite the forceful turnaround with the high g forces giving me tunnel vision, but not making me loose consciousness.  As I said this is not your average small amusement park coaster.  ArieForce One is one hell of a ride.



One part of ArieForce One that I was a little worried about was the rides bunny hop filled ending.  Several people compared it to Steel Vengeance's painful finale where with each ejector seat moment of airtime it felt like my femurs were going to snap and I was going to end my trip in a hospital.  Yes, getting rocketed up into the lap bar as ArieForce One sped through the final few hundred feet of track was a bit painful but it wasn't an "OMG I'm going to the hospital" sort of pain. 



ArieForce One's ending is right up there with Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point or Mamba at Worlds of Fun for fantastic bam, bam, bam moments of airtime followed by you slamming back down in your seat.



ArieForce One's finale is just a non stop up and down that will stretch your spine out before it gets compressed over and over.



In the end I absolutely loved ArieForce One.  It isn't my favorite coaster by Rocky Mountain Construction but I'd rank it somewhere in the top 5 along with Iron Gwazi, Lightning Run, Iron Rattler, and my number one Outlaw Run.
