Year-round park question.

Okay, I know with parks that close for the season, they take the trains to the coasters and take them apart and do a bunch of stuff to them in the off season.  But with year-round parks, do they do this, and if so, when?  I'd imagine they couldn't do it in just one night, so when do they find time?

They schedule a week or two during the least busiest time to do so. It's unfortunate for those who go to the park & find the coaster they went there to ride closed. That applies to single train coasters i.e Boomerangs (Happened to me In Israel :(.) With multiple trains, they're rotated by maintenance.

I think parks that are open all year do a little bit to each train a night, unless it has three trains.  When a train needs to be fixed the third, extra, train is put into operation, taking its place.

"What knockers!"

I saw the documentary on Sea World Orlando, and according to the show, they take apart one train at a time until all three trains are reconstructed. Sounds like a grueling process, rebuilding every single part in a roller coaster train

When they need to paint or do serious maintenance, they'll take a ride down for a few weeks or even a month or so.  It happened to Kumba last year or two, and the ride was WAY better when it re-opened...BTW, Denvers-coasters-suck, are you going to change your name after Volare...j/k?
