Synchronised möbius roller coasters that are not set to block section operation mode do not function. This existed in RCT1 and RCT2. It would require letting one train depart before enabling the synchronise option, or using test mode.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Crumbly Woods
  2. Stop, stop and re-open Double Trouble
  3. Observe that the trains never depart the station as it's waiting for the other train to reach the second station which of course will never happen as they are all behind the first.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Crumbly Woods with Double Trouble, using the synchronise option and non-block section operation mode described in the report. Trace the roller-coaster train departure and synchronisation behavior, then verify that both trains can depart correctly without requiring the other train to reach the second station.
