I've been looking at construction on Primeval Whirl and I'm a little concerned that Disney is creating a ride that increases the chance of a guest being hurt.
I read an article over a year ago (from some roller coaster enthusiast magazine) that the mouse-spin roller coaster design has a higher incidence rate of muscle/sprain injury then any other type of coaster (however, it is one of the cheapest coasters to build).
I'm also concerned that the open-air nature of the ride will increase risk due to the ability of intelligence deficient individuals to stand up in the cars beyond the reach/control of the ride operator. Someone standing up in a ride like this will be very likely to be thrown from the car if emergency braking is engaged.
I think that Disney is opening up a whole new can of worms with a ride of this type.
Consider that one of the reasons Skyway was shut down was the increased possibility of guest injury due to the increase in brain matter deficient guest shenanigans/incidents.
Just my 2 cents.
