Why is it important that all gates swing away from the flight line?

It is crucial that all gates swing away from the flight line primarily to prevent interference with the flight path. When gates open toward the flight line, they could obstruct the area where the Skycoaster performers take off, potentially causing accidents or disruptions during the flight. Ensuring that gates swing away allows for a clear and unobstructed flight path, enhancing the safety of the experience for both the participants and the operators. This design consideration is essential in maintaining a safe environment where users can enjoy the ride without the risk of collision with any physical barriers.
