There are designated areas of the track called "blocks" which are controlled by computers. In the event that the computer finds an error or the operator presses a button to stop the ride, the train will stop at the nearest block. The most common blocks of a ride are the lift hill, the mid-course brake run (brakes in the middle of the ride), the brakes at the end of the ride, and the station. Only one train can occupy a block at any given time.
