manta and flipflops

[littlelaura]

are you allowed to remove your shoes to ride?
obviously, flipflops would be dangerous on this, as they are likely to fly off and hit someone in the face. but are you allowed to ride barefoot?
when we went to seaworld a couple of yrs back, they were not allowing people to remove footwear (including flipflops) for Kracken; saying 'no shoes, no ride'. is that still the case?
i'm not planning to wear flipflops/slip-ons this day for that reason; but were just wandering what the 'rules' are.

There are baskets at the the loading/unloading area for riders to store flip-flops.
