Just put it out of its misery and replace it with a better dino-themed coaster already!

Well there is a better themed dino coaster being built in orlando...too bad its not in DAK. As an aside i agree. An RMC would fit great.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this but apparently the ride is operating for the executives retreat crap going on tonight.

While I agree with Primeval Whirl getting the axe, I wouldn’t just stop there. The whole land needs a huge makeover.

Out of curiosity now it's seasonal will it keep FP for when it is open or is it likely to be removed now it will only be open at select times?

No one cares if the restraints come off when they’re riding. Maybe then Chapek will understand height requirements.

This ride looks brutal. Teenagers walk around afterwards like they're elderly folk. Dear Disney pain doesn't equal pleasure... Unless it's in the bedroom and even then you get a safe word.

Everything in Chester and Hesters deserves to get put out of its misery. Not just Primeval Whirl which is a Wild Mouse clone.

I would love to see this area getting replaced by something better, but there were no announcements made at D23. If they were going to do something in the next 2 years, I think it would have been announced then.

Exactly... MK and Epcot are getting additions for the 50th... Epcot isn't due to be finished until the 52/3rd year and DHS probably needs an update before AK so I can't see Dinorama being addressed (even if it is the choice for an AK expansion) until the 55th?

RMC Excavator would be amazing

The Dino Digs play area was a favorite of my kids when they were younger. I would hate to see that going away or not replaced with something similar. Those active areas for kids are so great and they seem to get little attention. They have to be really cheap to build and operate compared to a more traditional ride. My 24 year old misses Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area when we go back.

Good news, hope this means it will be back in action soon. Always quite a fun ride.

 

[Fear]

DON'T TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS LIKE THIS

Edit: Its "Closed" status ends on New Year's Eve and moves to "Fastpasses not available" on Jan 1.

I would say testing with the show elements on is a sign that this was more than just a mechanical test.

Ew. Trash this heap of junk.

What a downright silly comment. Trash it and we are another attraction down in the part for 5-10 years!
