Orange County Choppers Iconic NY HQ Transformed into Entertainment Destination

New York-based Diamond Properties, in partnership with Orange County Choppers, opened Grand Prix Orange County Racing and Entertainment in Newburgh, NY. The distinctive 90,000-square-foot facility was popularized on TV as the home of Orange County Choppers, a custom bike builder.

The building serves as OCC’s headquarters, and will feature such activities as indoor go-kart racing, a large redemption arcade, laser tag arena, escape rooms, and a virtual reality experience. Grand Prix Orange County is the newest entertainment enterprise to be added to the Diamond Properties’ portfolio of nine other Family Entertainment Centers.

Diamond Properties’ Bill Diamond says, “Transforming this property into an entertainment center will certainly bring this area of Newburgh and the surrounding communities a new outlet for family fun. We are confident that combining our knowledge of go karting, escape rooms, laser tag, and arcades, together with the excitement and branding of Orange County Choppers and Paul Teutul Sr., will create a winning combination.”
