Last week we visited EPIC Universe with my wife who uses a wheelchair when there are longer distances to be traveled. She can only walk very short distances with a cane.
I knew that this park being brand new would be pretty accessible, but I was worried about all the stairs and some of the moving platforms to load into a ride vehicle..
We didn't try to do everything, but we did ride or see the following: Monsters Unchained, Battle at the Ministry, Le Cirque Arcanus, Celestial Carousel, Stardust Racers, Frye Drill, and the Untrainable Dragon Show. All of the queues were accessible with the wheelchair and where there were steps, there was always a team member who could direct us to an elevator. Pretty cool that at Monsters Unchained, there was a special area with a stationary vehicle that you could board and when ready it would join the line with the other ride vehicles. Quite ingenious!
The only issue is that some of the shops and restaurants have very heavy doors without a way to open without assistance. I think there is supposed to be a team member nearby to keep an eye out, but it didn't always work that way. Luckily I was there to help, but someone by themselves might have a problem. I'm surprised they didn't go with the automatic doors
The team members everywhere were a great help and I've already written a note to Universal about a couple of outstanding individuals.
Of course, we have major breakdowns and shows being cancelled, but that's the subject of a different thread
.
Anyway - Bravo Universal!
