This ride is so slow loading even if the queue seems short. And after that, it isn't very special! - Mark Moore

I thought that Primeval Whirl was a time twisting ton of fun. As soon as you get to the top you are amazed of twists and turns. It is a very jerky ride though. And it has three drops. There is two lines you can wait in for Premival Whirl, so the lines do not get to big. it is fun though! - Katie G-Desjardins

It's a fun ride. Disney refurbished it and the cars back up a bit more than before waiting for the lift. Also, most days Fastpass is not available for this ride. Wait until noon or so when both sides are running and enjoy a fun ride. - William Clark

Kind of an ugly coaster doesn't seem to fit in a Disney park. There are some fun drops along the way, but I would rather have something that fits a little better in the Disney mold. - Carl Stovall

Great themed ride but the quick breaking of the cars leads to a jerky ride. I expect a mouse coaster to produce sharp turns and the spinning car is nice but not a great mouse coaster overall. - Mike Burnette

A very fun ride. Although the attraction lacks the traditional Disney theming, the ride itself is fun. The spinning makes this ride different from others of its genre, including Mulholland Madness at DCA. This ride is a bit rough but nothing to bad. Waits for this ride usually never surpass 30 minutes so give this ride a shot with or without fastpass. - Manny Barron

Probably not worth a very long wait, this ride looked like nothing but was so fun, I couldn't stop giggling all the way round. Your vehicle continuously spins round on the track as you go up and down and I wouldn't be surprised if it made some people feel sick. I was expecting a fairly rubbish kids ride and was very pleasantly surprised. - Emily G

I love this ride. Dinoland is one of my favorite places, and I like the carnival style theming in this area. What keeps my score low is the height restriction. This is not a scary ride like Dinosaur, this looks like a kid's ride, it's very attractive to kids, and when I brought my grand-children I had every intention of taking them on this ride, until I was hit with a 48 inch height restriction, the tallest in the park - what's up with that? - Charles Johnson

I was worried that the spinning would make me sick, but the amount of spin was just right and I felt fine. The drops were pretty good too. - Nick S
