Primeval Whirl®
Attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom® Park
Fun Facts
This attraction opened in the Spring of 2002.
Primeval Whirl is a spinning, mild but wild roller coaster-type ride in the DinoLand U.S.A. area in Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park .
Big kids, teens and adults can take a whirl in a spinning "time machine" car for dinosaur-themed excitement and thrills. In addition to sudden dips, hairpin turns and tight curves, this coaster spins each car on its own round and round path. You never know which way your car will twirl as you race around, making this ride a new experience each time.
Primeval Whirl is part of the zany antics of Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama, a special area within DinoLand U.S.A. full of family-friendly games and attractions.
