Maintaining amusement park rides is critical for the general user-safety and for the longevity of the rides. In this regard, it is important for everyone running an amusement park to have a maintenance plan and follow it through. This will ensure that the business remains profitable and the park patrons remain safe while enjoying the park’s offering. With this in mind, we will explore how to maintain various amusement park rides.
Cleaning
Cleaning the rides is the most basic maintenance endeavors that you can have. Cleansing is important as it helps to get rid of any dirt and grime that accumulate on various part of the ride over the course of time.
To clean the various parts of the ride is highly dependent on the materials that make up the rides. For plastic and fiber parts, using diluted detergent, bleaching powder water, or soapy water will get the job done. After cleaning the parts with either of these cleaning agents, rinse with clean water and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
For sponge parts, the best way to clean them is to disassemble the parts and dip them in cleaning water that has diluted detergent, bleaching powder, and soapy water. Thereafter, you should squeeze the water and let the sponge part dry under the sun.
When cleaning wooden parts of the rides, soapy water will work fine. This is especially the case for wooden parts that are heat, humidity, and fadeless.
To clean the electrical circuits and electrical appliances, it is important to ensure that you cut off the power for safety. Additionally, ensure that the circuit boards and appliances are not wet. Thereafter, use a wet duster to cloth the appliances and parts of the circuit that need cleaning.
When cleaning the metal parts, you should brush any rust first. Thereafter, use a duster cloth to completely clean the parts with rust.
De-Rusting
While you can remove some of the accumulated rust while cleaning the rides, it is important to conduct thorough de-rusting all through the ride. To this end, you should consider using the sandblasting technique to get rid of accumulated rust. While scrubbing the rust off with the brush will remove small spots of rusts, widespread rusting is best handled using sandblasting.
Sandblasting machines are easy to use. Importantly, they are fast, helping get rid of accumulated rust in a park ride as fast as possible.
Repainting The Rides
Repainting of rides should be conducted only after you have cleaned the ride. Applying paint over rust spot is not only inefficient but a waste of money. Additionally, high-quality industrial paint should be used for a long-lasting paint job and high-quality finish. When it comes to painting, powder coating is preferred for small sections and parts of the rides while a painting booth should be used for larger sections and parts of the rides.
Obviously, for extensive maintenance projects, it is far better to hire professionals adept at maintaining such equipment. While DIY maintenance may suffice for small-scale maintenance needs, when you need to carry our intricate and extensive maintenance, hiring professionals is worth it.
