LOTS OF FUN!!! I recommend all WDW CMs get over to Studios either tomorrow or the next day to ride it.
The ride is a blast and very well done.

The car is kept out of service and just sets there waiting for disabled guests to use it. Once the guests are loaded the car is sent forward and is the second car of the pair that leave the station.
This means the car is not being used by other guests, is always ready when needed and the guest has as much time as they need to load.
I was wondering what the car sitting off to the side of the main platform was for. That's a good idea, it gives the handicapped guests all the time they need to load and unload without holding up any of the other guests. The only hold up for the other guests will only be for however long it takes to put that car onto the main track, which wouldn't take long.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

On a ride like Winnie the Pooh the disabled vehicle would be in use by non handicapped guests or sent on empty. This keeps all vehicles in service unless needed. It takes a lot of work at times to transfer a person and this way there is lots of room and time. I hope this is the begining of the future of ride loading design.
