News Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom experiencing extended downtime

[wishiwere@wdw]

It‘s possible. The fact that it’s no longer in MDE is suspicious.

The times I rode in October it didn’t have a wait time posted in MDE nor did it even list as being open. I suspect there happened to be private events at night on the days it was open but that’s just me speculating. Tough to sell dinoland USA as a private event space with a major attraction down and if you have to cycle it for said event anyway for safety checks, might as well be open to the public first?

I can personally confirm 12/14 this ride is open

So, what's the deal? Why would they keep a ride closed at a park that needs more rides? It's obviously running OK.

People would have said the same thing about Stitch. Or Backstage Tour.

Stitch I can say would be minimal impact due to the number of rides at MK, but Backlot Tour was a head-scratcher as well for as long as it was closed.

Didn't guest satisfaction ratings at Magic Kingdom actually *increase* as a result of the closure of Stitch, or was that just an urban legend?

It was open tonight for Moonlight Magic. I spoke to a DVC exec and mentioned how nice it was to see it open for the event. He smiled and said “Enjoy it while its still here.”
