How does the idea of willing suspension of disbelief relate to "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"?

Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s  “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is a prime example of the need to engage in suspension of disbelief in order to best understand the meaning and purpose of pieces of literature, particularly works that share the structure and themes of the Romantic period. Willing suspension of disbelief is best defined as “the temporary acceptance as believable of events or characters that would ordinarily be seen as incredible. This is usually to allow an audience to appreciate works of literature or drama that are exploring unusual ideas” (The Phrase Finder). It is important to note that suspension of disbelief was a crucial element of Coleridge’s work, and the Romantic period represented a movement away from the mostly logical and rational literature of the Enlightenment. For most readers of the time, suspension of disbelief would have been a new and unfamiliar practice.
In “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” Coleridge uses the character of the wedding guest to imply that suspension of disbelief requires a kind of childlike acceptance of fantastical elements: “He holds him with his glittering eye— / The Wedding-Guest stood still, / And listens like a three years' child: / The Mariner hath his will.” There is thus a fascinating aspect to literature that requires suspension of disbelief, which in turn requires that one momentarily forfeit their hold on the laws of physics and customary workings of the world.
Another important example of suspension of disbelief is found in the albatross. This bird is only mentioned by name seven times in the poem, but its death is a driving force in the narrative. The mariner is cursed because he shot the innocent albatross, and for a long while he is forced to have the bird hang around his neck as a sign of guilt and a picture of the curse he brought upon the ship’s journey: “ ‘God save thee, ancient Mariner! / From the fiends, that plague thee thus!— / Why look'st thou so?’—With my cross-bow / I shot the ALBATROSS.”
The concept of a ghost ship and death personified also requires suspension of disbelief:

Are those her ribs through which the SunDid peer, as through a grate?And is that Woman all her crew?Is that a DEATH? and are there two?Is DEATH that woman's mate? Her lips were red, her looks were free,Her locks were yellow as gold:Her skin was as white as leprosy,The Night-mare LIFE-IN-DEATH was she,Who thicks man's blood with cold.

A purely rational and logical mindset would dismiss such images and ideas, but suspension of disbelief gives the reader the freedom to see the literary concept being communicated. The personification of death and “Life-In-Death” is a vehicle by which Coleridge communicates the supreme value of all life and the utterly dark experience of the mariner following his decision to kill the albatross. Along with the value of life, Coleridge attempts to poetically communicate people’s fickle attachment to symbols of good or bad fortune, as seen in the sailors’ opinions on whether or not it was a good thing the mariner shot the bird. Such elements of the human experience and perspectives on life and death almost assuredly cannot be communicated effectively unless the reader engages in willing suspension of disbelief.
