Universal Help

[Forevryoung]

I know you guys are all for Disney but it's been decided that we should take a day or two and hit Universal/IOA. I thought I remembered reading that US/IOA wasn't as accessable as people thought it would be. One of the children is in a wheelchair/scooter (not sure what its going to be yet) and I would like to know what we can and can't do. We can transfer her to a ride seat but roller coasters and stuff are out of the question for her. Are there any tips? Warnings? Anything we should know in advance? Do they have the list of rides like Disney does?

Thanks,
K

There is a Guidebook for people with disabilities for Universal/IOA. You can download a copy of it at this website:
http://themeparks.universalstudios.com/orlando/website/disability.html

The guidebook has pretty complete information about the abilities needed for each ride and information re: whether a transfer is needed.

Well, DH is classed as 'disabled' but we obviously all have to take heed of accesible routes as DD (6) had to agree to a sroller so's we didn't need to worry about anything .
I'd say Universal is fantastic for wheelchair / stroller access.
No other tips but we all had a blast
