Retro (Extinct) Disney World - Primeval Whirl Full POV Ride-Through from...

I know what you're thinking..."Primeval Whirl? Really!?" To this I say 'YEP!" 

Walt Disney World fans have long lamented the DinoLand USA area of Animal Kingdom. Aside from the Dinosaur attraction and the Restaurantosaurus dining location, DinoLand USA is far from impressive. 

Two of the major plots of DinoLand USA are The Boneyard  (basically a children's play area) and Hester and Chester's DinoRama (covering a significant portion of the land) which is essentially a local carnival recreation. This area features the Dumbo-clone spinner ride Triceratops Spin, a collection of carnival games, and the glorious Mouse Trap/Wild Mouse-clone ride, Primeval Whirl! 

Opened in March 2002, Primeval Whirl had fallen into disrepair over the years due to a total lack of maintenance on Disney's part and it was mercifully laid to rest on March 15, 2020, just days before the Disney World closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This attraction was what it was...a fun little two-minute distraction while working your way through Animal Kingdom. Some part of me will miss it but it truly was below the level of what true Disney Parks fans should expect, especially for the prices we are all now paying in the "post-pandemic world."

At the D23 Expo 2022, "blue-sky" discussions were had for a replacement of the DinoLand USA area with a Zootopia-themed land. Whether this comes to pass and whether it happens in five or forty-five years remains to be seen. 

In any case, the now extinct Primeval Whirl attraction is preserved forever (or until YouTube sells to another company for billions and makes everyone pay to repost their videos) here on the JoeDarthmaz channel.

Splash Mountain Full Ride POV (4K) from Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom

Take a ride with Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear and tons of other critters in one of Walt Disney World's classic attractions...Splash Mountain. This part-log flume/part-dark ride has been a staple of the Magic Kingdom for thirty years. Based on a movie that has long generated contoversy, the attraction is scheduled for a re-theme and will most likely be closing soon for an extended period as it transforms in "Tiana's Bayou Adventure," scheduled to open in late 2024.

Joe Darthmaz has captured it in its current form and invites you to take a journey to the Briar Patch, the Laughing Place, Slippin Falls, and everywhere else you can stick an animatronic rabbit, fox, goose, frog, etc.

Dinosaur Pre-Show from Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World

Often times, the pre-show of a Disney attraction is as memorable or more than the attraction that follows it. Dinosaur is an example of how endearing a pre-show can be and how it can evoke nostalgia, sometimes to a greater degree than the attraction itself.

The Dinosaur pre-show is one of Disney Parks' best. It does a fantastic job of immersing you in the world of the attraction premise. Phylicia Rashad and Wallace Langham are featured in this pre-show, which for Disney World fans is full of quotable lines.

With the recent announcement that DinoLand at Animal Kingdom may be replaced in the coming years with Zootopia and Moana themed areas, it is more important than ever to preserve this pre-show for past, present, and future fans of Dinosaur to enjoy!

So, take a trip with Joe Darthmaz to Dinoland at Animal Kingdom and help Dr. Grant Seeker bring back one Iguanodon, extra-large. What could go wrong?
