Popeye's to be closed in November (Update: Good news)

From March through August, very seldom will anything be closed as it is the peak season.

What would cause a ride to be closed at other times of the year besides refurbishing? And if rides are down, how good are the parks about getting them up and running quickly?

All of the rides go through refurbishment even though they aren't broken down. It mostly includes painting, cleaning, etc. General maintenance is done nightly.

They try to schedule these refurbishments when the parks aren't as busy. The water rides are usually done in the winter time. Jaws was done during a peak time as they were having some mechanical problems.

They don't close rides unless they are being refurbished or have a problem with them.
