wheelchair seating for Lights, Motor, Action?

Someone told me that there was disabled seating in the first few rows of Lights, Motor, Action, but that these seats don't provide a very good view, and there is no shade. I thought I read here that there was wheelchair seating farther up in the theater/arena, but I did a search and couldn't find anything about that. If anybody here has information about this, thanks in advance. (DSIL can't transfer, and will need to remain in his wheelchair.)

W/c seating we used is in the top row- there is a set of elevators to get to this area. It's shaded and a great view of the "action", however there was a long wait afterwards to get an elevator to get back down. Also, it's a very long walk back to the queue and elevator area, so someone pushing their own chair or with mobility challenges without a w/c will have a tough time. Kathy
 
I went to this attraction for the first time and first time using a scooter.

The fastpass is located to the left and is large enough for scooters to enter. You get in the same queue lines with the rest of the walkers to enter the fastpass or standby line.

when I got past the fastpass entrance they directed me to the left. They said to follow the black, asphalt pavement around the outside of the left side of the attraction.

I saw that the standby line had a handicap gate that was beside the walker's entrance which I thought that I was going to use. This appeared to lead in the same direction as the walkers but inside the gated attraction.

So with fastpass access, I followed the asphalt pavement all the way to the back side of the attraction. I could see the other walkers inside the gate going the same direction but inside the attraction while I was out in the open.

A WDW Castmember met me and directed me under the concrete stands to a waiting queue. Then another castmember took two to four wheelchairs or scooters to one of two elevators. These elevators were under and behind the attraction concrete signs. I got the impression that no one else could use them.

They took us up to the middle part of the stands. We went through a concrete gate made especially for wheel chairs and scooters.

As we entered the parking/sitting area, I saw that it looked like I was in the middle. There were just as many seats below me as above me.

If I remember correctly, there were five scooter spaces on the left and right for a total of ten scooter spaces. I think that I saw a total of three of these sections to the left and right of me along the length of the stands in between the regular seating which was metal benches like at Fantasmic.

I also noticed that there was an eletrical outlet behind me on a eight foot wall that I used to recharge my battery. Above this wall was where the regular seating continued up to the top.

Below me was regula bench seating.

I'll try to describe the one sectin that I was in. It was surrounded on three sides by concrete walls, but in front was regular bench seating.

Starting on the right was a two seat bench, then a two scooter space, then a two seat bench, then a two scooter space, then a two seat bench, then a one scooter space. Then there was a large concrete support column which was directly in front of the scooter entrance. Continuing on the left side is a mirrow image seating area with one scooter space, then a two seat bench, then a two scooter space, then a two seat bench, then a two scooter space, then a two seat bench, then a concrete wall.

I couldn't see any scooter spaces up front, but when I left the same way that I came in, I saw a wheelchair exit a concrete ramp that looked like it might have come from the front, bottom row section. This might be the section that you are talking about.

It was a very nice view.

After I got settled in after plugging in my scooter to recharge, I saw that all the lines of walkers being escorted down the front from my right side to the far left side.

They appeared to try and seat everyone on the far side first, then the middle section. By this time the left and middle section appeared fairly full and I saw many people walking from from the left side to the right side before the castmembers filled up the first sections.

I was amazed at how large the stadium was and how many people filled the stadium. The stadium faced the front entrance. And the sets on the attraction show stage were awesome.

I saw a concrete road with tire skidmarks up front. Then a water river thing parallel to that with a bridge over it in the center and on the left side. Past that is a large area with tire skid marks in a semicircle. Behind that is all sorts of buildings of stores, shops, hotels, cafes, apartments with balconies, etc.. Some were five stories tall.

I also counted a total of about seven entrances for all of the cars in the show.

You had a larger view than at Fantasmic show.

Have a great time.

Sincerely, Ray
