Primevil Hurl?

[ericafny]

I love rollercoasters, and especially 'wild mouse' type ones...will Primevil Whirl make me, well...hurl?!? It looks like so much fun and I really want to go on it. Anyone who has been on it, can you give me a heads up?!?

It doesn't spin for the entire ride. Disney has a short video here.

Many times and is low ranking hurl factor in my opinion.

Jerks you about a bit. Hold on to your cap and sunglasses. Not my favorite ride in AK.

Is it as bad as the teacups? I can't do them. I tried once, and was pretty queasy for quite awhile afterwards.

 

[danny1649]

It is not as bad,DW can't do Tea Cups and she has done Whirl and not her favorite because of rough ride.Did not make her sick and upset her tummy though.

 

[Tinkaroo]

It doesn't make me sick, but I don't ride regularly just because it is SO jerky. I like fast thrill rides, not one that is going to bruise my shoulder!!

 

[NCombs]

It's not too bad. My daughter made me ride it twice. I think if you just ride once it should be fine. As everyone else had said, it is VERY jerky.

I beg to differ--we rode it in blazing August heat around noon. There is no shade on the ride; the combination of the whirling and the sun did me in. I was violently ill. We have almost the same ride at Kennywood, enclosed, and I'm fine on it; but the sun and the heat really did a number on me. (I've found since the second pregnancy that I can't do "whirl" like I used to. No one warned me about that side effect

I almost threw up. Thank goodness it was over when it was because I couldn't take one second more of it.

Haven't done it but hate Wild mouse things. Glad to know it's jerky because I can't do jerky rides (bad neck/shoulder/back). Can't do teacups, either. I can't do spinny things anymore. I can't even do the pirate ship type rides anymore.

My DD rode it several times with her aunt. DDwas 8 then. They loved it and it didn't bother either of them. I sat out because of inner ear prblems. It would have wiped me out for the day.

I was there in Janurary for a girls weekend. I have been on it before and sometimes get quesy but I know there is a color that spins more than the others. I think it is yellow. My friends made fun of me and than we asked and she said one color did spin more. I don't remember which color but I think it was yellow. My girlfriends and I laughed our buts off the whole ride and could barely stand afterwards.

I can go on Space Mountain, Splash, RNR, etc, but not teacups! I wouldn't even get near that one. We went on Primeval Whirl a few years ago, and the whole time I was saying to my DH, "oh my god, what do I do, I need to get off now"! I hated it and would never go on it again! The other 2 girls on it with us that we didn't know thought I was a weirdo! I don't like any spinning at all, and it does it by itself and there is no way to stop it from turning.

I found it jerky, but not dizzying.

 

[juju]

My husband was so sick after this ride and was feeling poorly for the rest of the day. We don't call it Primieval Hurl for nothing.

 

[ericafny]

WOW! So many responses...I usually get sick on spinning rides (teacups, tilt-a-whirl thingies), so I'm a little apprehensive, but I do LOVE rollercoasters so I want to try. Does the fact that its moving make the spinning/dizzy sensation any better?!?

(Thanks for all the replies so far!)

First, this ride is, IMHO, a classic "wild mouse" ride. This thing jerks you all over heck and back - which is what a "wild mouse" does; simply look at the track and you'll see why. The spinning is of the same type as a tilt-a-whirl - that is, it's not constant or powered, can reverse direction and just depends on where your car is when you make a curve - but not nearly as "spinny" as a t-a-w. My problem is that I'm 6'4" and don't fit too well in the car - I call it "Primeval Bruise" .

I'm a roller coaster junkie. I live by Cedar Point, go there more than twice a year, and have ridden all 16 coasters in one day. I must say I was throughly disappointed by Primevil Whirl. It was EXTREMELY boring and way to jerky. I hated it, my whole family did. I'm not claiming to be a roller coaster expert, but Primevil Whirl Sux!

I'm a 40 yr old mom who considers herself a ride wimp but.....I loved this ride and I did not think it was too much anything, just fun!

There are so many different answers here, you'll have to make the dicision.
