Tron Line - No ECV's, Move to Wheelchair?

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I understand the OP's frustration but Disney does state for Tron "Must Transfer to Wheelchair, Then to Ride Vehicle" if that is unable to be accomplished for whatever reason (solo and aid is not able to be provided and solo person is unable to do it themselves, physical capabilities of others in the traveling party, etc) it means that attraction is unable to be done.

I know how it feels to push a wheelchair around Disney, that was me as a kid in the late 90s doing that for my father (who had 1 leg in a boot due to his diabetes). It's not fun, it's tiring, I get it.

However, new ride or not, the choice of making something more accessible depends on the design of it. Tron's back row seating is often used by those who cannot physically (due to calf size for example, or back of the seat doesn't click into place) ride the main seats or who have a preference to riding the more traditional seating for a myriad of reasons. It doesn't mean the ride design of the coaster is meant for all accessibilities.

People often confuse "new" to mean it must be for everyone and that's not possible.

ETA: to speak to the ADA compliance I think the OP and one other poster are meaning it must be for all accessibilities. Being ADA compliant means it adheres to at least the minimum it is required to be subject to the law and if any applicable exemption is at play. It does not mean it must do xyz just because someone is in abc.

Your comment about the accessible cars reminded me that the last time I was at Disney it seemed like they were running accessible seats with (almost) every launch, whereas it used to be much less frequent. So it seems like Disney does try to adapt when they can. But Tron will already move people backstage to wait for the accessible vehicle if necessary, and if we they had to add an unlimited number of parked ECVs it would be that much more crowded. I don’t know why it was designed the way that it was, but given the reality of how it exists now there really isn’t an easy solution.

When Tron was built for Shanghai it was said they built 2, clones. Ours was put in storage because it couldn't be built for X number of years per agreement. I think the interior of the building would have to be exactly the same. As someone who has always waited for the special car with DS, and once had a medical issue and had to leave the platform in a wheelchair (taking us backstage) I don't see where they could park ECVs without leaving them out by the lockers, which would mean using a wheelchair anyway.
