Fun Junction Taken Over by Fun Spot

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Fun Junction USA, South Atlanta, has been taken over by Fun Spot. https://www.facebook.com/FunSpotAmerica/?hc_ref=SEARCH&fref=nf

The park looks rather like Fun Spot from the website. http://funjunctionusa.com

I quite like Fun Spot. It will be interesting to see what is done with Fun Junction USA.

Isn't there already a thread for this, or is it just me?

 

[Hixee]

^I don't recall seeing it anything, but if you can find a link then I'll happily merge the two threads.

^I think it's just me getting confused with TPR...

Anyway, it does seem cool, hopefully we will see a woodie come to this park also!

That's the exciting thing! Fun Spot are quite surprising with their ride additions!

Looks a little close to the residential area to the east for anything really big, but Fun Spot do like to surprise us, so here's hoping!

 

[CrashCoaster]

Well they wouldn't purchase it for nothing. They would have seen some kind of potential in the park, so I would expect a decent-sized addition. They wouldn't buy a park for nothing, right!

And apparently they will be changing the name to "Fun Spot Atlanta":- http://attractionsmagazine.com/fun-junction-usa-become-fun-spot-atlanta/

^Of course not, but they won't stick a hyper in there. I hope they keep the trend going and put in another tasty woody, should be small enough to get planning permission.

Exciting! Atlanta is a perfect place for a Fun Spot. It'll be nice little park to compliment SFOG. Hoping for another small or mid-size Gravity Group. Personally, I hope Fun Spot expands across the country. They could do well, and they are just fun places to be.

Does fun spot now only own these 3 parks, or does the fun spot near pigeon forge count?

 

[CanobieFan]

No, the park in Tennessee got a cease-and-desist order from the Orlando properties to stop using the name and logo and that's why they went to the fun stop name.
Fun Spot in Florida had been operating a couple of Fun Spot Juniors. They were located inside of malls and just featured arcade game with a few bounce inflatables. The Seminole County Mall featured one and so did the Osceola County Mall I believe both have closed or been rebranded.

If it's in Atlanta it'll be more like Gun Spot am I right?!

 

[CanobieFan]

Nah, its like 30-45 minutes south of Atlanta.
I've been two or three times.

Nah, that's for Southside Chicago.

Something I found on an article about this on Attractions Magazine:- http://attractionsmagazine.com/fun-junction-usa-become-fun-spot-atlanta/

Quote from the article:- "Fun Spot branding at the Georgia location may not roll out until next spring, but Fun Spot CEO John Arie Jr. hinted at a new roller coaster or other major ride for the future.

So... It looks like we could be seeing another great woodie!
