==Block Brakes==
''[[RollerCoaster Tycoon 2]]'' introduced '''Block Brakes''', which were not present in [[RollerCoaster Tycoon|the original game]] but are present on many real-life roller coasters. Block brakes, along with their [[Ride/Attraction_Operation_Options Operation Options#Roller_CoastersRoller Coasters|operating mode, 'Block Section Continuous Circuit mode]]' set a roller coaster to utilize block brakes.
 
Block brakes are used to create 'sections' of a particular ride, with each section allowed to hold no more than one train at a time. This feature can be used to prevent, or even eliminate, the chance of a ride crash, either due to brake failures in the station or due to a train stalling out or not completing a circuit. Rides running in Block Section Continuous Circuit Mode treat the first tile of the station and the last tile of any lift hill as a block brake by default. Rides operating in this mode may carry more trains than would fit in the station, since the station now only needs to be long enough to accommodate a single train. The maximum number of trains on a ride with block brakes is one fewer than the number of block brakes on the ride (including the top of all lift hills and the station). Therefore, a ride running with one station and one lift hill in Block Section Continuous Circuit Mode could only run one train.
