Need Help Identifying Rides

[Chuck S]

BTW, most, but not all, rides with moving belt load systems can stop the belt to load/unload people with disabilities. That is why rides often halt for about a minute then continue. The only exceptin seems to be (so far) Transit Authority (formerly Peoplemeover) at MK.

Also Peter Pan - that can only be "emergency stopped". CMs have told us it has something to do with the ride system, the fact that the ride system changes from floor to ceiling and then back again, and that they don't want to leave people hanging above the floor.
The moving ramp that takes you up out of the unloading area at Pirates is also one they don't stop. We've been there occasionally when it was stopped for some reason (not for someone in particular). I don't think that moving walkway is under the control of the ride CM who stops/starts the boats.

I must be mixing up the moving platform with another ride, I think Spaceship Earth

Spaceship Earth does have a circular path and a moving walkway for the unloading area, so that's probably what you are thinking of. If she is using a wheelchair, she will board at the exit. There is a waiting area there for wheelchair users - sometimes the wait is very long though (like 30-40 minutes when the regular line is walk on), even though there may not be many people waiting there. There is a small step into the ride car (like getting into/out of a real car). They can slow or stop the moving walkway, but only if you board at the exit.
