Primeval Whirl

[Mnementh]

I just found out that Primeval Whirl is going to be closed while I'm at WDW :( That's my second favorite Animal Kingdom ride and I was really looking forward to going on it. Drat...

sorry to hear that. I didn't get to ride it on my recent trip. I'll catch it next time.

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

When is it going to be closed?

[Mnementh]

When is it going to be closed?

Don;t worry, it won't affect your trip. It starts on 9/2 (three days before I get there) and continues until mid-November.

Aww :hug:

[IslanderFan0194]

I'm sorry to hear that I also really enjoy that ride, even though it has long lines to get on it

[FunkyMonkey]

Awww that stinks.
I love that ride -- although I hate at the end when it stops short, it always hurts my stomach. :headache:

If that's your second favorite ride, what's your first favorite ride in AK?

[Mnementh]

Not Everest, like most people might think. I'm a roller coaster chicken, though I'm determined to ride Everest this time around. Actually, my favorite ride at Animal Kingdom is Dinosaur.

Dinosaur is also my fave in Animal kingdom, I will try to go on that ride too. I can handle all the other coasters but not this one maybe because of the height:confused3

Which are you speaking of? Expedition is not that tall, only 112 feet. It only looks tall because of the huge mountain. The highest drop is only 80 feet.

RnR is actually 80 feet tall, but you think it's smaller because it's dark and inside

Pssh, you big baby ;)


I love Dinosaur! Please tell me after you come back if you can hear what the narrator is talking about when all the little dinosaurs are being lit up by the lightning, because he so much it's hard to understand anything.

I wonder what they would do on rides like Nitro or Kingda Ka which both soar over 200ft.

Yeah, I've had a hard time understanding what was being said at that point, too. I'll try to listen harder this time around.

Heck, even the Storm Runner freaks me out. I don't know how you all can ride those things.

[aengus]

heh, most people on the boards HATE this ride, but I have to admit I love prime evil whirl also, and will miss it this trip

I like to think of it as an angry ride ROFL, its just so bumpy and makes your head whip ROFL...

sry up front about bad grammar comp wire frayed and must post on psp

ka is over 400
about same height as dragster at cp

drag looks 100 ft taller than top of 310 ft millennium force(from on mf)

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

just looked it up
drag is 420 and ka is 456

I know ka is over 400ft. I was just stating that ka and nitro both go over 200ft. Nitro goes 128 and Dragster goes 121. Nitro hits 86 twice. Storm Runner to me would be considered a mild ride ( still one of the best ) because of it's height and speed but it makes up for it. And btw Great Adventure beats CP any day.

I disagree

I think that CP has the best coasters in the US

Says the fanboys. Gadv has the ultimate lineup.

That's an opinion ;)

My opinion is that MF is the best steel coaster in the world

Let's continue this debate on my thread.

I'm not debating, im just stating my opinion

I meant like lets not highjack this thread and let me prove that great adventure is better on my thread.

I was originally afraid to get on it, simply because it was a "coaster", though it's more like a Wild Mouse, which isn't a lot like a coaster to me. I'm glad I was convinced to get on it because I got a kick out of it.

There was one thing that irritated me about it, though. There were a lot of groups of two that got a car to themselves and everytime we'd try to get on, they kept sticking us with another group of two. That REALLY irritated me the first time because I didn't know what to expect from it and I didn't want to freak out around strangers.

That is intersting.. I was wondering about RnR thanks:goodvibes

[Mnementh]

I wish I could work up the nerve to ride RnR. I'm not really worried about the loop or crokscrews so much as I am the sudden speed burst from the launch at the start. I don't think I'd enjoy that kind of thing because of the feeling I get in my stomach. The only other coaster I've ridden that had a speed launch was the Mummy, but that was to a much, much lesser degree.

Ah, suck it up and go on it pirate:

[AmberDaze]

We all enjoy Primeval Whirl, even our flats (http://disboards.com/showpost.php?p=13210225&postcount=19) enjoy it! We also love Everest, but I'm the only one who doesn't like RnR. Once was enough for me. :rotfl:

[Imagineer_Tech]

Trust me you'll get on one big coaster and suddenly want to get on them all.

[GoofyWaterCoaster]

Trust me you'll get on one big coaster and suddenly want to get on them all.

That's what my father told me

He was right pirate:

[AmberDaze]

Nope, that didn't work for me. :goodvibes

[FunkyMonkey]

Haha. My dad & I are really the only "big" rollercoaster fans in our family. Mom [AmberDaze] went on RnR, she felt sick the rest of the day. Never wanted to ride again. Even though she rides Everest, Primeval Whirl, Space Mountain, and such. She hates going upsidedown....;D
Although I was terrified of ToT a couple of years ago. The last time we went to MGM [Hollywood Studios...blah] I had the courage to try riding. I LOVED it. Haha. xD

Alright, back on topic with Primeval Whirl...:rolleyes:

I honestly hate crokscrews but I didnt even realize we went upside down on RNR. Also the speed at the beginning looks faster than it feels (at least it did for me) Its very exilertating (sp?)

I nearly hypervenilated on everest. (I hate rollar coasters) but at the end I ended up loving it. I forced myself to get on and it was definatly worth it

Yes, the speed is an illusion

You are in the dark, and there is the sound of squeaking wheels

That's weird. You hyperventilated on it, but you want to go on it again :rotfl:

[Mnementh]

Okay, just READING this stuff is making me nervous.

[Cardinal]

In Everest, it's pitch black and you can't lift a finger because the G-forces of the downwards spiral crush you into your seat. The headrests are extremely uncomfortable because they're made of plastic instead of leather and the lapbar is cold and makes you feel unsafe. The ride itself is air conditioned like CRAZY to make you feel like you're surrounded by ice and both of the Yeti rooms smell like animal poop. The brakes at the end are erratic and jerky, and you bang your head on the headrest several times because you do not know the correct time to brace yourself. The cars do not provide any space to put your belongings in and the seatbelts are tattered at best. Smoke pours out of the caboose of the train constantly and makes it smell bad. If you go at night, some of the rooms in the mountain (mainly, the one where you meet the Yeti) are illuminated by blinding strobe lights and they make the rest of the ride a disorienting mess. The wheels and the roars of the Yeti are so LOUD that they cover the screams of the riders. The wooden track feels about as stable as a house of cards. The ride is a jarring experience and the height requirement should be raised drastically because it could be detrimental to the sight, hearing, and body of developing children.

Brat, take the opposite of everything here and it's 99.9% true ;)

Thank goodness for that last part or I was about to really not like you!

[LuvN~Travel]

I love roller coasters and the bigger the better!:) However, I wound up not liking Primeival Whirl mainly because of the arthritis in my hip. I think I must waited too late to come to this ride!;):rotfl: They put the kids together in one side and me by myself on the other (NO WAY Dh was riding this one, he doesn't do twirly stuff;)), and without any extra 'padding' to hold me still I shifted around too much.
I loved the concept, but this was probably the only coaster I've never liked.;)

Of course...now if they gave me huge box cushions on either side of me I might change my mind.;):rotfl:
