First off, Happy Thanksgiving!
Later today I will be doing another part to my update which can be found HERE. But today I want to talk about Primeval Whirl.
During Extra Magic Hours at Animal Kingdom, Primeval Whirl was open! Though only a little while before I got on they had people on the track working on the ride still. :lookaroun The person out front said that they were open for about an hour earlier in the day, but then re-opened for the EMH.
I don't remember what the old physical appearance looked like (or if they changed anything) so I have a few pictures which can be found HERE.
What's changed:
(I didn't really know the ride well, but this is what I think is different)
-Braking system is completely re-done. If you are to close to another car in front of you sometimes it will automatically stop you... which hurts if you aren't expecting it!
-Seems the control system has been changed. There is three different stations with stop/go controls. Saw a lot of technicians by the controls.
-Control system was not exactly working for the exit guy, so he had to manually release the lap bars and rotate the vehicles. (occasionally)
-Appears that they polished the cars to look brand new.
-Quite a few more supports. They even cut through some signs to add supports.
-Track itself is not any different. Not in shape, size, form, anything.
-Not sure if this is new, but they are now sending cars off one at a time from the controls.
Like I said, never been an expert on this ride so some other things may have changed. Another part of my updates will come possibly later today. Only will be a small update.
Have a happy thanksgiving,
