Wasn't the entrance area expanded and used for a Photo-op at one point?

Yep. That's what separates Disney from other theme parks. Other parks typically clear the old rides/attractions out and make way for new ones. Disney? They'll just leave it there for a few decades until they have a need for the space.

While its never great to see a ride go away without a replacement known to be coming in, this ride was a rough one. I had read many a review of how harsh the ride could be and the one and only time I rode it proved the reviews were right.

"Extinct". Clever. Look for "Blue Wall" merchandise in the near future.

Do we know yet if the Blue Wall will be a part of regular lighting lane or if we'll need to do individual LLs for it?A blue wall is next

Also, are they planning a special drink and merch for this like the Purple Wall or do we not know those details yet?

Influencers will make the blue wall their entire personality until Disney turns it into a Lounge Fly bag

Bring back Flight to the Moon/Mission to Mars! Those inflatable seat cushions were so exciting.
At least those shows never killed anyone, which Primevil Whirl cannot claim.

I wonder if the problem is just that it's a bad location.
Interestingly, I think it'd probably be big enough for Mission: Space (with just two rides instead of, I think 4 over at Epcot). Outside of something small and spinning, there's not much else that they can do with that location. They could expand the gift shops or dining but that's pretty well taken care of there. Basically, it needs to be a show or a "spinny".
Buzz & Laugh Floor have a similar problem but if the two were just combined (space-wise) you could have a decent attraction there.
Sadly, if they ever decide to remove either of those rides, I could see that being the end of the Peoplemover.
Will the blue wall be Genie+ or ILL?A blue wall is next

Of course this follows recent Disney logic. I guess they figure no attraction is better than a weak attraction. It's sad that this joins the slow motion race of replacing rides that have been closed without a clue of what their replacement might be. We should start a bet: which will be replaced first, 'Stich' or 'Primevil Whirl' !
