Dismantling of Primeval Whirl Continues at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Disney has announced that Primeval Whirl, a Dinoland USA ride that has always divided fans, is finally being relegated to history. The theme park is closing the midway-style attraction for good and the process of dismantling the ride is already starting.
Various Disney-goers have been taking to social media to share images of the current stay of the ride. We’ thought we’d share a few of these with you.

Here’s what the construction looks like from the ground. Scrims have been put up in the area. But, as you can see there are still picnic tables set up near the attraction.

Though it’s definitely sad to see any Disney attraction go, this one has always divided theme park goers. Though some loved the retro Coney-island feel to this attraction and the thrill of spinning round repeatedly while on a coaster track, others felt that the ride didn’t live up to Disney standards. There’s also the motion sickness. With the constant spinning, this ride frequent tops lists of the rides at Disney most likely to make you feel sick.
Disney has yet to announce what will be coming into the space previously taken up by Primeval Whirl. However, this is a story that we will continue to follow closely and we promise to let you know as soon as we’ve received an update!
