I've left his name out for privacy reasons, but here is a snip of a Discord conversation I had with a friend who was at Animal Kingdom last Thursday.

There are a whole lot of things I would love to see closed before this, The Tikki Room, Indiana Jones, Tom Sawyer Island to name a few.

Tiki Room? Tom Sawyer's Island? Really?

I think it's a fun ride with a short wait, but the whole concept of Dinoland is dumb and meta. We lived near actual amusement parks as a kid and stayed away from these parking lot faires which are even today widely thought of as being dangerous as they are assembled and taken down often.

It's a standard spinning wild mouse guys. How can there be extended downtime... for a wild mouse?

It’s a sophomore in college now and behaving a bit EXTRA wildly. Even by DAK standards.

And like any good sophmore, it should be about time for it to decide it wants to be a arts major instead of a doctor and then drop out of college. Or in this case, replaced with something better. (honestly, I don't hate it and it has its place in the park. Just never cared for it)

Funnily enough, this just popped up and the person describes a local coaster as "running better then Primeval Whirl":

And this is older too.

Could be waiting on a part?

 

[Flynnwriter]

How about a permanent downtime?

The Tikki Room

If you're gonna troll, at least spell it right.

While I don't care for the aesthetic of DinoLand USA or the subject attraction......it is a fun ride.

Because it isn't a very good ride from a technical perspective. It has had numerous issues over the years, and it should have never been built in a Disney park.

Shut it down. You can ride it in most Six Flags anyway. Gotham City Gauntlet up here in New England.

I would much rather ride a cheesy roller coaster that is actually kind of fun than sit through the Tiki room that is so bad it make me want to run out screaming, or Indiana Jones which was good at one point but has not changed at all in 30 years time, or Tom Sawyer Island which is well, boring unless you are 5.
