Abstract
An amusement ride vehicle has a seat on a seat chassis. The seat moves up for assisting a physically disabled person to enter or exit the vehicle. The seat moves down before the vehicle begins to ride. A slide is attachable to the vehicle to help a disabled person get into and out of the elevated seat. The seat chassis can pivot forward to provide access to the motor which lifts and lowers the seat.
