California officials have ordered additional training for the crew of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland after a routine reset of the ride resulted in the collision of two trains. A report says procedures were not correctly followed. This is the same ride where a mechanical defect resulted in the separation of a train resulting in the death of a rider in September.
