Explanation:

The clue "takes up all their attention" indicates that the word "absorb" in this context means to hold someone's full interest. The other options ("to soak up a liquid", "to cause to move quickly", "to create a feeling of sickness") do not match the context of capturing riders' focus during the slide.

Answer:

to hold someone's full interest
