My friend was telling how onetime when he was on B:TR there was some sort of breakdown so the train ended up go right through the station 2-3 times.

Does anybody know how often this happens? And also has anybody seen or heard about the same thing happening with another ride?

Never heard of it... but seems doubtful. B:TR would probably e-stop if there was a problem with the block/station brakes, especially considering it runs 2 trains.

I've actually witnessed this happen during a 1 train op on B:TR on time. Demon I have seen run through the station but E-stop close to it. All I can say is that would be freakin' scary and awesome at the same time :D .

And then when the problem was fixed did it go through the ride again? Because that's what probably happened. They went through the station got stopped by the e-stop and then went through the ride again.
