Disneyland coaster has a "bump" again

See this is the thing I don't understand. I know that BTMR was made before a lot of modern computer equipment had been invented and as such from what I understand is that it is pretty hardware based and hardwired in. But what makes no sense to me is why the computer would EVER lose track of the trains. I could see perhaps in a place where trains do not normally stop. But every break run and lift ought to be filled with so many sensors that blind spots are impossible. Upon power up, it should be clear to the computer exactly which sensors are blocked by a train.

Because of this setup, the ride has an unusually high amount of downtime.(Lately being nearly everyday) Even the most minor of E-stop requires an evacuation of the ride (because it's unsafe to ride manually) and the entire queue line (because it takes so long to reset). It makes no sense, especially in a park such as Disneyland which needs high capacity on it's rides.

Disney needs a controller on this ride that is much more reliable and failsafe.

That last sentence was *spot on*. Likely they'll TRY and wait until Space Mountain coes back online before taking down another MAJOR attraction for such an extensive overhaul....or at least that's my *thinking*....;)
