Generators for Theme Parks

Whether you're the manager of a theme park, or simply renting a theme park ride for a weekend block party, making sure you have enough power from a backup generator is critical to the success of your amusement adventure. 

Theme parks traditionally receive their power from the grid, but in the case of a major power outage, you want to be sure you can get backup power somewhere else. What could be worse than hundreds of park-goers suddenly stranded on top of their (once) favorite rides? Well, it could be worse if someone takes a video and your theme park power outage goes viral. Your amusement park could receive an unreliable reputation, future attendance numbers could drop, and your overall revenue would experience a significant decline. 

To be sure you never lose power, you need a backup generator. That's where we can help our theme park friends. Absolute Generators provides mobile power solutions so theme park managers and ride operators can feel confident and safe about their daily operations. When you're ready to secure your theme park's power, let us know. We offer a wide range of 3-phase generators that are perfect for theme parks. 

How To Buy Your Theme Park Generator

• How much power do you need to ensure operations? 3-phase generators are ideal for applications that require intensive, constant power. Power for your generator is generated by currents. When you operate a single-phase generators, you're only working with one "wave" of power. Your power will fall to zero three times every cycle. A 3-phase generator never drops to zero because this type of circuit provides three alternating currents, all of equal frequency, but 120 degrees out of phase with each other for constant power waves. 
• What fuel type is best? We have an entire blog on what fuel type is right for your operations, but you can choose from diesel, gas, propane, bi-fuel, and tri-fuel. Each type of fuel provides its own benefits and downsides, but diesel is typically known as the most reliable and longest lasting fuel for your operations. 
• How much are you willing to spend? You may typically expect to pay in the teens or twenty thousand dollar range for 3-phase power to run the motors on your attraction equipment. An example of this type of machine is our DCA25 Multiquip silent diesel generator, which we feature below. We're also featuring three inexpensive 3-phase power generators, including the GPE-125EH-3, EC22000VE, and RGV13100T.
