Fun Spot Crates Hint at New Coaster Plans
RMC-branded coaster crates were spotted at Fun Spot America in Orlando as the park's CEO discussed adding another roller coaster in Central Florida.
Updated on Nov. 9, 2026 in Theme Parks
Crates branded with Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) were spotted at Fun Spot America in Orlando in a video the park shared. Fun Spot CEO John Arie Jr. discussed possibly adding another roller coaster to a Central Florida park in September 2026.
Why it matters
The Orlando location already operates three roller coasters, so a new addition would expand its lineup in the area's theme park market. The crates may instead point to an improvement project rather than a brand-new ride.
The evidence consists of a park-shared video and CEO comments, with no official ride announcement. White Lightning reaches up to 48 mph and Freedom Flyer approximately 34 mph at Fun Spot Orlando, which has three roller coasters, but the purpose of the crates remains unconfirmed.
The players
Fun Spot America
A family entertainment company operating amusement parks in Orlando and Kissimmee, Florida.
John Arie Jr.
CEO of Fun Spot America who discussed the company's possible plans for another roller coaster.
Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC)
A roller coaster design and construction firm known for its steel ReTraK track system used on several parks' coasters.
The details
RMC-branded crates appeared in a video shared by Fun Spot, and RMC previously worked on Mine Blower at Fun Spot Kissimmee, installing sections of its steel 208 ReTraK system in 2023. Arie specifically named Rocky Mountain Construction and Premier Rides when discussing possible new coasters.
Timeline
2013: White Lightning opened at Fun Spot Orlando.
2017: Mine Blower opened at Fun Spot Kissimmee.
2023: RMC installed ReTraK sections on Mine Blower.
September 2026: CEO discussed a possible new roller coaster for Central Florida.
November 2026: RMC-branded crates were spotted in a video shared by Fun Spot.
Roadmap
Fun Spot's earlier RMC work on Mine Blower, which used sections of the steel 208 ReTraK system, sets a precedent for the company working with this builder again. The newly spotted crates extend that relationship into its Orlando park.
Visitors planning a trip to Fun Spot America Orlando should check the park's current ride lineup, as a new coaster is being discussed for September 2026. Fans of fast rides can compare the 48 mph top speed of White Lightning with other coasters before booking.
The takeaway
Watch for official announcements from Fun Spot before planning around a new coaster, since the spotted crates could signal either a new ride or an upgrade to an existing one.
