That's a sad realization of the Modern Disney Corporation. Yep - I view them as a corporation now. DCA, Dino-rama, and even the Disneyland Paris Studios have all been proof positive of the cheaper Disney. Heck.... even Winnie the Pooh, Flying Carpets, and Buzz have traces of this new era. However... Philharmagic and Expedition Everest seem to be an unexpected turn for the better, but we shall see.
Subpar NEVER use to be acceptable at Disney. :brick:

I say "GO FOR IT!"
I'm not a big fan of thrill park rides for the same reasons you mentioned...the "plummet factor", though I DO like Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain at WDW!
Bought "off the shelf" or not, Primevil Whirl is FUN! I think the "plummets" are very mild compared to other rides, and the spinning is all a matter of weight distribution on the ride, just like the "Tilt-a-Whirl" ride.
The spinning is not "controlled", or "programmed", but merely a matter of weight distribution in your car. For a more intense ride, everyone can even lean into the turn to make it spin faster. :hurl:
What me and my friend do, to minimize the spinning, is to sit in the 2 outside seats to evenly distribute the ride weight so it does not spin as much. It works for us and we have a good time!
TRY IT! IT'S FUN!
:sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

Well, it's not really my choice that I can't go on these rides. I'm not afraid of them. It's my body. I dunno, something weird happens when I plummet. It's not very pleasant.

Again I ask...
Aren't these the same hills found on Space Mountain? They are not big, but with the exception of the dark factor vs. spin factor, they are nearly the same type of tracks, right? If you would not ride SM, then PW shouldn't be much different, and if you ride PW, then you should try SM and vice versa I think.

I have no idea! Is this true SPIDEY???
I was comparing it more to the drops on Splash and Big Thunder.
Since He rides Big Thunder, I think this would be OK too by comparison.
Now you've got me wondering......maybe you'll need to start a new thread so we can find out about those Space Mountain hills and how they compare to the PW ones. Interesting thought!

My kids went on it last week and I have one who has recently become motion sick easily. (M:S almost needed a clean-up crew, same with astro orbitor and tea cups) They liked it thought it was cool. However, something went wrong or broke cause they got nailed by another car at the end. Luckily, they didn't get hurt, just a huge headache. It was a fluke though. They really liked it. I can do any ride, but I didn't ride that one. I had a headache and went to get a spot for the parade.

What?! A new thread?
Stitch, you rascal. :lol:
Big Thunder doesn't even have drops to my recollection. I was saying you should try SM since you never have before, especially since you have rode PW. I already answered Vince.

Yes, I wish I didn't have to say that, but as I saw Disney move farther into the commercial venue as I grew out of childhood, I began to get used to it.
Sometimes I wish I could be able to go back in time and experience how WDW was when I was a toddler...

Me too. the first I rode it I was laughing almost the entire time. My husband and I love it. It's one ride we love riding over and over again.

The biggest drop has to be at least 20 feet on Primeval Whirl...official stats from Reverchon:
Track length: 1377 feet
Highest point: 49 feet
Top Speed: 20 mph
If it's 49 feet tall at its highest point, that 2nd drop has to be at least 20-25 feet...here's a pic of a cheaper version:

That 2nd drop is certainly more than 15 feet...regardless, this ride is what it is--not an E-Ride, but a fun filler attraction, which is what Animal Kingdom needs--not just E-Rides, but C- or D- ticket rides like Primeval Whirl.
What's the ride with a shortest drop? I'm thinking maybe I can test myself out on a small drop and see how it goes.

Good call on the drop height Kyle.
I haven't been on PW in a year or so, but rode Mullholland Madness (a Mack) at DCA last month. For some reason I thought they were the same.:hammer:
Anyway, here's a shot of the tallest drop on Primevil Whirl.
It's a good 20 feet or so.
