How do you fix a crashed ride in Roller Coaster Tycoon?

Question

In Roller Coaster Tycoon, how do you fix crahsed rides?

Answer 1

I found this on a website, however it doesn't HELP with this situation. (I wrote how to really fix it, see below)
Use the following trick to avoid demolishing an entire ride after a crash. Once the ride crashes, the light will turn red and the ride will stop. A mechanic should appear and fix it. After he fixes it, press the "Stop" button twice, then the green button. If done correctly, the ride will start again.
If a ride crashes some people will begin saying that it is not safe and they will not go on it. To fix this problem, just demolish the ride and build the same ride over again.

As for the real answer--
I've found that deleting the station platform and then rebuilding it "resets" the ride. You can even put the entrance and exit in the exact same place and it'll be fine.

Hope this helps.
