Clammobiles?

[JCTigger]

Any one know the size of the wheelchair clammobiles on the Nemo ride? How big of a chair will it fit? The person im going with can't switch to a reg. chair he needs to be in his chair and with the foot pedals it makes him pretty big... we cant get him to fit on buzz lightyear, magic carpets of aladdin, and maybe a few others that i cant think of off the top of my head but we are going to Epcot tonight and may want to see if we can get him on it...so i figured id ask before we head over there this afternoon....

Thanks!

This thread has a fair bit of information on ride accessibility:

And this is a link to the official WDW page for guests with mobility problem, including information on mainstream queuing and ride accessibility:

If you have the dimensions of the chair in question, some people here might be able to give you some more specific advice.

Good luck!

This is the size requirement for wheelchair spaces in ride cars from the ADA Guidelines for Amusement Park accessibility:
Openings on rides that provide wheelchair spaces must be at least 32 inches wide. This minimum width is necessary for passage of a wheelchair or mobility device.

Wheelchair spaces must have a clear width of 30 inches minimum and a clear length of 48 inches minimum, measured to at least 9 inches above the floor surface. Wheelchair access can be provided onto the ride vehicle in many ways, including, but not limited to, rear entry, side entry, or side entry with a turntable.

Since this was a newly constructed ride car, it would comply with this guideline. The available space may be larger than the guideline, but can't be smaller.
