(Added what mechanics do in RCT3 and that game's stall breakdowns)
Line 38:
In RCT1 and RCT2, this breakdown affects only the [[Merry-Go-Round]] and [[Double Deck Carousel]], causing them to spin faster than normal and their music to play faster. If the ride in question is the Merry-Go-Round and music is enabled, it will also start "hopping" if it is not fixed for an extended period of time. Apart from these aesthetic effects, the control failure does nothing.
 
In RCT3, this breakdown affects all flat rides with a control box, causing them to animate faster than usual. The breakdown also messes up the ride's normal ratings, usually causing its nausea rating to spike to "Uber-extreme" until it is fixed, whereupon its ratings revert to normal. Peeps who were on the ride during the breakdown period will usually stumble out of the ride exit, with a number of them throwing up immediately upon leaving the ride. Mechanics fix these breakdowns by fiddling with the ride's control box, a small grey box with a "High Voltage" sign on it located somewhere on the ride's structure.
 
==Other Information==
*In RCT3, when a ride breaks down, the accompanying message will explicitly state the cause of the ride's breaking down, whereas in RCT1 and RCT2, the message only mentions that the ride broke down.
*During a breakdown of a flat ride in RCT3, it will intermittently emit large puffs of black smoke and loud clanging/hissing noises, while the ride boundaries and queue line railing will be replaced with wooden scaffoldings that appear to be wrapped with police cross tape. 
*In all games, the ride sign will say "Broken Down" or "Closed" when the ride breaks down. In RCT3, the signs will sometimes become blank, although this may be just a bug.
*In RCT3, when a mechanic fixes a ride with a control box, it will open the box and apply a screwdriver while pushing the box with their other hand. When done, they will step back and close the box, and the ride will be fixed.
*in RCT3, stalls can become broken down. The mechanic fixes this by kicking the stall.
