[Walt Disney World News] Spinning “time-machines” transport Walt Disney World guests on a thrillosaurus journey t0 the late Cretaceous period in Primeval Whirl, a whimsical coaster attraction in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Primeval Whirl adds zany fun t0 Chester & Hester’s Dino-Rama! area of DinoL4nd U.S.A. presented by McDonald’s.

A meteor shower sends guests spinning out of control along the track with a final descent int0 the gaping jaws of a giant dino fossil. Guests must be 48 inches tall t0 ride Primeval Whirl.

“There is a charming joy about this,” said Rohde. “It evokes a kind of playfulness that Walt sought t0 create in his theme parks.”
It all started with Chester & Hester’s Dinosaur Treasures, a gaudy gift shop stuffed t0 the rafters with every kind of toy, trinket 4nd T-shirt imaginable t0 meet the dem4nd of souvenir hunters passing by along U.S. Route 498. Seizing an opportunity for more excitement, the eccentric entrepreneurs of DinoL4nd U.S.A. -- the fictional Chester 4nd Hester -- added the old-fashioned carnival of bright string lights, amusing attractions, classic pop tunes 4nd wide smiles.
