Abstract :
In the theme park industry, boring means safety and profit. All of the safety systems, distributed E-Stop interface, effect-enable matrix, wind monitoring, extensive fault detection, system self-checks, and more, are all biased to disable the effects if anything unusual happens, It is not enough that the system not notice anything wrong, it must confirm that everything is right before it will enable the effects.
