For teacups, a ridestop is going to activate the brakes and/or clutch to stop the ride quickly. An e-stop will cut power to the ride, which means no brakes / no clutch, so the ride can take longer to stop that way.
My initial reaction would be to hit the e-stop, which I think happened here. The ridestop might actually be the better choice.

Hmm... Both our minicups (Zamperla) and our big cups (I don't remember who made Chubasco), the e-stop cut power and took longer to stop than a regular ridestop...

Regarding e-stops, it could act like Sea Dragons (Mack Boat thing) which actually took the same amount of time to stop when the e-stop was pressed as it did normally... Same for when it lost power...

^^ :lol:
^ I don't know how they E-stop this kind of ride, since it's probably some Italian crap then they might only cut the power it all depends on how the braking works, it might be as on a coaster where they need power to stay open, which will make them clamp as soon as power/air is gone...
