An amusement ride vehicle includes a floor deck assembly slideably mounted
inside the body of the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion and
telescopically extended away from the body toward a loading platform when
the vehicle is at rest. A ramp assembly is mounted to the floor deck
assembly near the door of the vehicle and foldably extended away from and
at an angle to the floor deck assembly when the ramp assembly is deployed
to accommodate a guest in a wheelchair. To promote safety, the ramp and
vehicle door preferably have automatic latch mechanisms. To maintain the
ride capacity at all times, a companion seat is built into the vehicle
body and a conversion seat hidden underneath the companion seat can be
deployed if no guest in a wheelchair is being accommodated.
