Demolition Continues on Primeval Whirl at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog you’ll know that we’re at Animal Kingdom this afternoon. We popped by Dinoland U.S.A to give you an update on the demolition of Primeval Whirl.
Disney announced over the summer that the attraction, which had remained closed since the reopening after the pandemic, would not be returning.
The attraction has always been a divisive one with some loving the retro style of the rides and others feeling like its more of a midway attraction than one befitting a Disney park.
Disney has yet to announce their plans for the lot that was home to Primeval Whirl.
However, that hasn’t stop crews from working swiftly to dismantle the ride.
Over the past few weeks we’ve seen more and more of the ride disappear.
First of all, the ride vehicles were removed from the attraction and transported off-site.
Then the crew started to take apart the track.
As you can see from these recent photos all that is left of the original attraction seems to be the enter/exit ramp.
For those visiting Animal Kingdom, large construction walls surround the construction side.
The area that previously used to be an entrance has been converted into a dining area for families with covered picnic tables.
We hope that Disney is brewing up some exciting plans for this hot bit of Disney real estate.
