What is a loading platform on roller coaster?

A loading platform on a roller coaster is the area where passengers board the ride vehicles. It is typically located at the beginning of the ride, and is where riders will find the station building, turnstiles, and queue lines. The loading platform is where riders will be checked for safety, and where they will be given instructions on how to ride the roller coaster safely. It is also the place where riders will be loaded into the ride vehicles, and where they will be secured with safety harnesses.
