Primeval Whirl is an attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. The ride is an "off the shelf" spinning roller coaster purchased from Reverchon. The ride is part of Chester and Hester's Dino-Rama, which is itself part of Dinoland USA. It is a roller coaster in the "Mild But Wild Thrills" category. It has cars that spin in circles while traveling on tracks, permitting the ride experience to vary greatly each time it is ridden. It usually seats up to 4 riders. The ride is lightly themed, with decorations that are related to the meteor which is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.
