Fodor's Expert Review Primeval Whirl

DinoLand U.S.A. Amusement Ride

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

In a free-spinning, four-passenger vehicle, you head on a brief journey back in time on this outdoor open-air coaster, twisting, turning, and even venturing into the jaws of a dinosaur "skeleton." Crazy cartoon dinosaurs in shades of turquoise, orange, yellow, and purple pop up along the track bearing signs that warn "The End Is Near." More signs alert you to incoming "Meteors!" and suggest that you "Head for the Hills!"—coaster hills, that is. Halfway through the ride, your car seems to spin out of control, and you take the next drop backward. The more weight in the vehicle, the more you spin.

Pregnant women or guests with back, neck, or heart problems should skip this one. For people with disabilities: Guests using wheelchairs must transfer to the ride vehicle. No service animals.  This coaster is zippy. Kids might want to ride twice if the wait isn't long.
