To ensure an efficient operation, load the ride only one time per cycle with the correct number of riders. The most effective way to ensure that you have the correct number of riders each cycle is to either [ BLANK ] riders either while they are coming through the entrance or [ BLANK ] riders while waiting in line.

• A. Load and Go
• B. Count and Pre-group
• C. Look and See
• D. Screen and Secure

Answer: (B)

Efficient operation hinges on knowing exactly how many riders will ride in each cycle and organizing them before the car leaves. The best approach is to count riders as they arrive at the loading area or while they’re waiting in line, then pre-group them into the exact number needed for that cycle. By tallying early and grouping in advance, staff can assemble the ride load quickly and place groups into the appropriate seats or car slots, so the load is complete in one pass. This minimizes dwell time, prevents under- or over-loading, and keeps the ride moving smoothly and safely. Rushing to load without counting, or relying on guesswork, can lead to misloads or delays. The idea of simply “looking and seeing” or focusing on safety checks without organizing the exact number needed doesn’t support a predictable, efficient cycle. Counting and pre-grouping directly supports loading once per cycle with the correct number of riders.
