I'd say that's the big difference between "coaster" enthusiasts and "amusement park" enthusiasts.
ArieForce One never made much sense for the type of park FunSpot is/was. Like you said, great ride but that park just wasn't really the right type of place for a multi-million dollar RMC construction.
Will be interested to see how this turns out. In general just happy we're getting another maze. Cedar Point only had the conjuring last year while we also had Order of the Dragon, and seems to potentially be a lot of parks in the chain will continue to only use their existing mazes, so happy KI has continued to invest in new experiences for haunt with the addition of the haunted attraction pass.
Would be a lot more hesitant to buy the access pass if there were a lack of investment...
