a \u201cdangerous projectile\u201d the moment it leaves a rider\u2019s hand. <\/p>\n<p>To solve the problem, Disney has installed dedicated shelves at the loading station. Guests are now required to leave their loose water bottles before the ride starts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefinitely not a bad thing,\u201d one Redditor wrote of the new rule. \u201cI remember being brained by somebody\u2019s sunglasses while in line for a hot dog years ago, and that hurt enough\u2026I got lucky. A hydroflask would have had me on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re heading to the parks anytime soon, you might want to leave your influencer kit at home.
