Primeval Whirl was a duo of steel spinning wild mouse roller coasters located at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA.
History
Primeval Whirl opened on March 31, 2002.
The rides reverted to seasonal operation in 2019, and in July 2020, a memo to cast members confirmed the coasters' permanent closure.[1] The roller coasters were subsequently scrapped in 2021.[2]
Design
Both Primeval Whirl rides were standard spinning wild mouse roller coasters manufactured by Reverchon. The two coasters did not race each other, or interact in any way.
Trains
Single cars. Riders are arranged 4 across in a single row, for a total of 4 riders per car.
