Answered my own question about ECV at Universal

[Belle1962]

I was wondering what attractions at Universal have you transfer to a wheelchair instead of allowing the ecv through the line. My answer isa--all of them. From their guide for disabilties:

We apologize, but none of the ride vehicles or attraction queues at Universal
Orlando will accommodate Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECV’s) or electric
wheelchairs. At those rides which can accommodate manual wheelchairs, guests may transfer from their ECV or electric wheelchair into a manual wheelchair that is provided at each location.



That's a bummer. I cannot use a manual chair.

Bummer! I could have sworn I used my ECV in some lines when I went in 09, but maybe not. There was a friend and I, each in an ECV, and her able-bodied husband. I was able to able to walk longer then, and her husband was doing some pushing in manual WC. I had to change my plans to go to WWOHP this last trip since I was alone, but I had hoped I might be able to go next trip when crowds might be less. It's looking like I may have to drop US altogether when I go by myself. I just don't have the upper body strength to wheel myself very far if the line is too long to walk.

I find that odd. When were were last at Universal there were Make-A-Wish kids in their electric wheelchairs all over the place in the lines. I believe they transferred directly from their chairs to the rides.

Power wheelchairs are different than ECVs. They are most often treated like wheelchairs because they have the same 'footprint' as a manual wheelchair and can turn more sharply than an ECV.

Also, there are less power wheelchairs than ECVs.

Based on this quote it states rides which CAN accomodate manual wheelchairs; so, there may be rides that don't have wheelchair access either.
