This is my second Universal post on this board (the other was about choosing a hotel). The Universal boards here don't have a disabilities section, so I'm hoping this is okay to post here.

My mother will be in a wheelchair during our visit, and I am hoping she'll get to ride a few rides with my son so she has some riding experience with her grandson. I am wondering whether there is information on the dimensions of the wheelchairs allowed on the rides? My mother is a larger woman and will probably rent a slightly wider wheelchair from a 3rd party -- do we know if that would be allowed on some of the rides that allow wheelchairs or does it have to be the standard sized wheelchair? These were the rides that we were looking at:

Universal: Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, ET Adventure, Villain-Con Minion Blast, Men in Black Alien Attack

Islands of Adventure: Caro-Seuss-el, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, Skull Island: Reign of Kong, The Cat in the Hat

EPIC: Constellation Carousel, Fyre Drill, Mario kart Bowser's Challene, Yoshi's Adventure
 
Your other post is about an ECV. Which is she using? Many ride queues don't allow scooters, but they do allow wheelchairs - they have wheelchairs at each ride to use while in those lines. But probably just standard size.

Can she transfer to the ride vehicle? That would probably be easier and open up other options. She'd use the wheelchair through the queue, and just transfer to the vehicle. Then they have the wheelchair waiting when she disembarks.

I don't know if the rides accommodate larger/wider wheelchairs.
