Actually the more I think about it, I recall most wheelchairs use the fastpass line for attractions. In WDW would put you through a quick queue line and then through a door to line up for the wheelchair car.

I have not seen the version they have in Florida but does it have the other load area (the track divides so people in chairs can get in and out)? The DCA version has you climbing stairs to get over the track.

The version in WDW has the exact same set-up. You have to climb stairs to walk over the track to get to the vehicle loading area. It also has the alternate load area and the track has switches to allow the car on and off of the main attraction.

This is good to know as my Mom doesn't navigate stairs very well anymore. I am trying to be prepared for which attractions we will need to have some assistance in the queue.

This is one of my favorite attractions. Now, if I could only find a way to beat my 10 year old son, then Zi would like it even more. ;)

This ride is an absolute must every time we go. My 3 year old loves it, of course his score stinks but he doesn't care, he loves it!

I think I should ride with your Mom, Amy...we'd both have stinky scores, but would probably be laughing the whole time!!! :lol:
(but I do have a very competitive side...I may stink at it but I have beat hubby in a couple of games ;) )

You probably would have a great time ~ and Mom is the same way, competitive but maybe not so competent ;) :lol:

Amy: does F1gment find the the way the guns work in TSMM a bit hard/tiresome to use, compared to those found at Buzz?

Yes, she could not hold on to the gun and pull the string for the entire ride. She did her best but the neuropathy in her hands did not always cooperate. She still had fun. The spinning of the car seemed to be her favorite part ~ it always drew a "Wheeeeeeeee!" out of her :lol: Buzz still is, and probably will always be, her favorite shoot-em-up attraction!
EDIT: I asked her and she said she does find Buzz easier to operate, but she thinks the aim is easier with Toy Story.

Oddly enough, alot of people I know who talk about TSMM and Buzz say the same thing: easier to shoot with Buzz, easier to aim with Toy Story. TSMM just wears your arm out, and in some young people - and this young Subsonic moderator and iphone destroyer remain nameless - bleeding wounds on finger(s) from operating the TSMM shooting mechanism!
