A method for controlling an amusement park ride to provide safe access for maintenance and testing. The method includes first determining a location of an access control key and then second determining whether the determined location is within a control space. The method includes, when the access control key is in the control space, operating a machine of the park ride in a first operating mode. When outside the control space, the method includes operating the machine in a second operating mode. The second operating mode may include disabling the machine. The method may further include, after the operating the machine in the second operating mode, repeating the first determining of the location of the access control key, third determining whether the determined location is within a predefined safe space, and, when the access control key is within the predefined safe space operating the machine in a third operating mode.
