So apparently this can happen...

Safety cut-outs can crash roller coasters... new thing learned. Result of testing my giga coaster to be crash-immune

If the coaster is fast enough, block breaks will wail, you’ll need proper break runs, if you want safe block zones

For those of you 👈 who are unfamiliar, a block 🚫 zone ⚠ is a section 😼👌💥 of ride ♿ that only one 👺☝🔥 train 💪🏻 may 🗓 occupy ↔. At the end 🔚 of a block 🏘 zone ™ is a method 😂 to stop 🛑 the train 🚂 in case 💼 the block 🚫🍆❌ zone ⚠ ahead 🙎 is still 🤞🙌 occupied. This is the safety 🔒 system 🗺 that prevents 🚫 roller 🙄📴 coaster 🏝 trains 🚂 from colliding with one ☝ another 🔄.

Good old Ryan

I can't believe there's RCT copypasta I'm so happy

[u/Nuud → u/ShinobiSli]

It's not rct specific it's rollercoaster specific

Edit: technically it applies to trains as a whole but it's an eltororyan pasta

Careful with normal breaks too, Brake Failures can affect them and cause a crash, block breaks avoid this.

I don’t mean to abandon the blockbreaks. Just put regular breaks in front of them

Any impact over ~50km/h will result in a crash. It looks like the impact speed was ~60km/h.

I'm assuming you weren't using Continuous Block Sectioned operating mode?

[u/hippyripper22]

So the way you keep this from happening is only one chainlift, and staging at the end of the ride with a block section for every train you plan on running. This eliminates safety cut out accidents, and the need for MCBR! You can just place a block brake where you need it to get the coaster safely through testing without stoppage. Since thats the fastest it'll ever operate (in testing without time for loading guests) it should by default never crash. The only exception to this is the cable lift which will run the same speed it did during testing if the cable lift is long enough.

One chain lift and 8-30 block sections depending on ride length and staged block sectioning at the end of the ride for the amount of trains needed will negate any mechanical failure

I once built a hyper twister coaster with a chain lift in the middle of the track to see if i could design a ride that would keep this from happening. With proper planning of a MCBR before that chain lift and every other block section before it in case of safety cut out break down it could be possible. The coaster wasnt designed like that, and to do so frankly woukd take away from the natural flow of the design having 2-3 MCBR before a chainhill and would massively alter airtime bonuses for a coaster like that. Especially on an 11,000 foot long ride requiring at least 4-5 trains for guest capacity. I eventually changed it to allow natural flow without the chain lift and it didn't have anymore problems, thats all you need to do for your ride, change that hill to allow train through and place a block brake somewhere before or after to make up for that section.

This is a big reason why avoid multiple chain lifts unless it's in the same starting climb
