empire of the penguin?

[zaksmom]

Any wheelchair users done this new ride at seaworld? My son wants to go mainly for this new attraction and I can't find any info.
Thanks in advance.

Bumping this up...fingers crossed for more info. I have a tidbit.
I did email seaworld asking several specific questions - transfer or wheelchair in ride car, etc
It is not in their accessibility guide. Their reply was it is wheelchair accessible, but that trademark regulations prevent them from describing how. Suggested I look at YouTube . Has anyone seen a video that shows this? Thanks in advance. Since this is my son's main reason for wanting to go, I want to have more info.
Thanks in advance.

I have been told there is a way to view the penguins without riding the attraction. I will pop over this week to see what else I can find out. Is there anything else you need to know?

Thank you so much! Good to know that we could still see the penguins! Basically what I am trying to find out is how the ride is loaded. Do you have to step up? Can a wheelchair be loaded on to the car? If that is something easily noticed it would be helpful.
Thank you. Thank you.

Got it, I will see if I can get pictures of the loading area.
