We did it today. I'm disabled and use a power chair so have that experience to offer. They let us take our time in the Lobby and let us know when we were ready to ride. Very nice. Downside, of course, was for my dad who uses a
scooter as a wheelchair. He had to walk the queue. Long walk and no seating. We should have had him transfer into a manual wheelchair and get pushed thru.
I didn't care for the pre-show/lobby entertainment. I'm just not a Tonight Show/Fallon fan. It was far too noisy and irritating.
The actual pre-show, however, was quite good. I even liked the rap version of the precautions, and I HATE rap in general.
The seating was actually very good. They did not have the full transfer working to allow for a wheelchair tiedown. Fortunately I can transfer onto rides with no steps and sufficient leg room. Took me a little extra time to walk to my seat but all was pretty easy. The only glitch they had was getting our seatbelts to work. The locked down the row before I got seat so my seatbelt wouldn't pull out to wrap around me. The TMs were not really paying attention to our row either. We had to call out for assistance. Then they had to unlock the row which made everyone's seatbelts loosen. So we all had to rebuckle and not everyone got the memo. On the third try of unlocking and locking the row, we finally got all the guests seatbelted down.
The ride itself was actually quite fun. 3D was well done as was the virtual motion. I think I loved the moon rollercoaster best. Reminded me of Hulk. And it explains why NY drivers are such annoying drivers. So aggressive and reckless. (No offense to you courteous and safe New Yorkers, but some of your brethren try to kill me daily when I drive around Orlando.)
You exit into the gift shop which borders the Rip Rock It entry. But they have ou park your scooter on the other side of the building. That made for a very loooooooong walk for my dad. Fortunately family was able to go fetch his scooter instead.
I'd say walking distance is similar to the old Twister. Very long queue and pre-show area. At least you get to sit down for the ride.
If you have any problems walking distances, ask for a manual wheelchair or back door entry. You'll enjoy it more. Wheelchair users are allowed in like everyone else.
