Primeval Whirl
Is there any themed music or safety spiels for this attraction? Or something that would be appropriate for it?

"There's a fine prow on that steamer, let's climb aboard her!" Fireside
"You're off the map mateys..Here there be SeaMonsters!!"

Re: Primeval Whirl
I'm not crazy about this area, it reminds me too much of your typical carnival. I don't feel the magic here. I tend to avoid it all together.

Re: Primeval Whirl
I enjoy the area well enough, I like Primeval Whirl quit a bit and like how they say "bye bye" at the end.

I have only been on Primeval Whirl once, but we sure had fun!

I went on it when we were in AK for EMH back in 2006. It was fun, but I was not a fan of it. I don't like the idea of being spun around on drops.MmeLeota wrote:I have only been on Primeval Whirl once, but we sure had fun!

Re: Primeval Whirl
I must admit I have never been on it. It just doesn't look very Disney to me. Disney rides always have a story...is there a story here?

Re: Primeval Whirl
Chester and Hester are the theme of the attraction. Primeval Whirl's theme is more whimsy and less immerseive then most Disney attractions. Enjoyable none the less though.
Re: Primeval Whirl
I copied this from Wikipedia and their version is pretty much a shortened version of what I heard the backstory to DinoLand and Primeval Whirl to be:jlpeaches255 wrote:I must admit I have never been on it. It just doesn't look very Disney to me. Disney rides always have a story...is there a story here?
DinoLand U.S.A. originally started as a small highway town where an amateur fossil-hunter found some dinosaur bones in 1947. After contacting some scientist friends, they gathered their money together to purchase the site. Since then, scientist, volunteers and grad students have been living there trying to find answers about dinosaurs. The Dino Institute was founded and opened the site as a "fossil discover park". An old fishing lodge on the property became the Restaurantosaurus. Meanwhile, the Dino Institute discovered how to warp vehicles through time, and thus started doing time tours.
Chester and Hester, two locals, were determined to make a quick buck and converted their gas station into a fossil souvenir shop. Not to be out done by the Dino Institute, they created their own version of DINOSAUR named Primeval Whirl. They also added Triceratop Spin and the midway games
As you ride Primeval Whirl you'll see what looks like cardboard cut-outs of meteors, scared scientists in lab coats, dinosaurs on the ride, etc. You're even getting their version of the bumpy and out of control ride through the bunny hills and spinning of the vehicles. So essentially Primeval Whirl is a more silly and playful tribute to DINOSAUR

Re: Primeval Whirl
The only time I have ever ridden it I hated it because it hurt! Make sure you ride it with someone you like because you WILL be pressed up against them or even in their lap by the time the ride is over.

Re: Primeval Whirl
Ok, think I'll be skipping this one since no one in my family would want to ride it and I'm not all that good with strangers touching me or vice versaNaCler wrote:The only time I have ever ridden it I hated it because it hurt!

Re: Primeval Whirl
This is VERY true!!! In DCA, there is a ride called Mulholland Madness (will be re-themed soon) that is basically the same thing as Primeval Whirl, except it doesn't spin you and the seating is different...but the same thing happens.NaCler wrote:The only time I have ever ridden it I hated it because it hurt!

...and yes, good boy Jacca...

Re: Primeval Whirl
Just don't ride it after eating at the Flame Tree BBQ. Our family calls it the "Primeval Hurl".
