History
Dept. 2 Productions was founded in 1992 in order to "reorganize" Department 2, Carwardine's entertainment department, and to improve the quality of the shows and theming for Carwardine Parks properties. It was originally based out of Carwardine Studios until mid-1993 when Carwardine acquired a disused elementary school in Virginia Beach and converted it into production space, turning the cafeteria and its kitchen into a room for programming animatronics for the FECs, the gymnasium into a dedicated room for the Rock-afire Explosion and New Rock-afire Explosion, turning the auditorium and library into rooms for testing theming and using old classrooms for various purposes.

In 2006, the second facility was sold.

In 2015, they moved into a bigger facility within the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport industrial park.

In 2021, Carwardine started testing out The 64th Gamer's Rock-afire Replay for programming to replace ElectroMagik, but due to Aaron Fechter's disdain for the software, D2P quickly returned to using ElectroMagik.
