Yesterday, you may have seen or heard about the electric wheelchair that caught fire at City Walk. Today we have more information on the incident, having heard from the man on the ECV himself.
“It just stopped and caught fire,” he said. “It went up in a minute, thanks to another park goer who said “sir I think you are on fire” or else I would not have known. My wife was on the moving sidewalk and passed me and by the time she got to the chair it was engulfed.”
The man went on to thank the Universal Orlando security team and everyone involved in handling the situation.

I’m glad the guest was ok! ECVs can be replaced, someone’s life cannot.
seems green is the new fiery red. so go ahead folks, ride ole sparky in comfort. run over as many other guests as you can like you usually do. i mean it is just feet and ankles so, who really cares how many bones you break. you got a horn on that scooter. put there to warn everyone some maniac is coming through.
amazing how quick one that is supposedly disabeled can get on their feet and run when there ecv catches fire, eh?
Now that I know no one was hurt I can finally make my joke! It couldn’t be Scooter on fire, the muppets are at Disney not universal! 🤦🏻 Good work team members and guests!
