What must passengers do with food and drink items before boarding the ride?

Passengers must be asked to store or discard food and drink items before boarding the ride to maintain safety and prevent accidents. Having food and drink on the ride could lead to spills that create slippery surfaces, increasing the risk of falls or other injuries. Additionally, loose items can become projectiles during the ride, posing a danger to both the passengers themselves and others nearby.

By ensuring that these items are set aside, ride operators can create a safer environment for all riders while also maintaining the cleanliness and operational integrity of the ride. This measure prioritizes the well-being of guests and ensures a smooth operational flow at the attraction.
