Gap covering systems and methods for amusement park attractions

A gap covering system for an amusement park attraction includes a loading platform having a gap separating a first portion of the loading platform from a second portion of the loading platform. The gap covering system includes a ride vehicle coupled, through the gap, to a transport. The transport is configured to propel the ride vehicle along a loading path of the loading platform. The gap covering system includes a magnetic zipper positioned adjacent to the loading platform and configured to transition between a first configuration and a second configuration in at least a portion of the magnetic zipper. The magnetic zipper is configured to cover the gap in the first configuration and is configured to allow the ride vehicle to occupy a guest-accessible position on the loading platform in the second configuration.
