Dorney Maintenance Team hard at work this December

December 7, 2022

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and if you’re Dorney Park’s maintenance team that means it is time to get down to business.

Yes, even during the coldest months of the year the men and women who bring the muscle are hard at work. Why? They’re getting your favorite rides fixed up and ready for the 2023 Operating Season.

Everybody’s favorite horses and circus animals from our Antique Carousel are getting touched-up after putting in some hard work during the 2022 Season, along with the 80, Bavarian-inspired, illustrated panels from Wave Swinger.

Our painters layer the paint by starting with a base, then hand paint each intricate detail to perfection.

Shuffling a little further into the Maintenance Warehouse, a Steel Force train was disassembled. The first coaster to break the 200-foot barrier on the East Coast back in 1997 gets checked and tested every off-season which means the maintenance team will look at all components, surfaces, parts, etc.

Many members of our maintenance team will also use this time to learn new skills or touch up on existing ones as they prepare for any and all challenges thrown their way in 2023.

Other elements of rides were spotted in the queue line to receive annual winter maintenance, such as the Whip, and Monster. Stay tuned for updates on the park gearing up for Opening Day 2023.

With Opening Day right around the corner, the best way to experience Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom is with a 2023 Season Pass. You’ll come and go like you own the place all season long with FREE season-long parking, unlimited visits to Dorney Park, and Wildwater Kingdom, exclusive Season Passholder events, discounts and so much more.
