But I'm saying how can they have too many cars on the track? If it comes with 10 cars, they'll be able to use them all safely. Read other posts carefully before you post, not just yours.

well never has EVERY car been used, if they have all on the track, the cars will be piled up waiting for passengers, thats why they may run say 6 or 7, then keep the rest as spares, i have seen them rotate cars before, i heard sum werent running as smooth as others

But if the car had jammed, Why were the other cars coming through and bashing into the one that had stopped. The whole point of a block system is to stop that from happening. Im unsure why they have more cars than the ride can handle, but they are probably just spares as Huss said.

The Bus is now leaving for Ardmona KidsTown Adventure Playground

I used to go to that place heaps when i was younger. We lived nearbly and rode our bikes there, It was so cool. It was pretty nice there .

The ride would have sensors to prevent this, which obviously in this case were not working. Trust me, the ride could sustain all 10 cars providing they were used with the required number of operators and other conditions were met.

well I dont think that Mad Mouse has sensors, it was built in the 60's there wouldnt have been that type of technology.Wittingslow didnt bother updating the safety for the ride, and I dont think they will either. Because it happened soo suddenly, the operators didnt see, and by that time the other 2 were already running the course, and the 3rd car was moving up the lift hill
