The Disney Parks continue to change and be reinvented. In the wise words of Walt Disney, the Disney Parks will continue to be reimagined as long as there is imagination left in the world. Find out which attraction has now disappeared from Walt Disney World.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is my (Donna) second favorite park. I absolutely love the Land of Pandora and the clever theming as you travel through Africa and Asia. Then when you head into Dinoland U.S.A., you may wonder if you are in the same Park.

In my opinion this land was much more enjoyable when Character meet and greets were held with Scrooge McDuck, Launchpad, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, and Chip ‘n Dale. This was such a fun spot to enjoy meeting these characters.

Now with the reopening of the Disney Parks, many character meet and greets are still unavailable. It feels as though Dinoland U.S.A is at risk of going extinct. Previously they had 3 attractions TriceraTop Spin, Primeval Whirl, and DINOSAUR. Due to operational problems, Primeval Whirl has remained unoperational.

In August we shared that  Disney World filed a permit for Dinoland USA in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Since the permit only listed “general construction,” we were unsure what exactly was taking place and which structures would be affected.

At first we wondered if this was simply a refurbishment – that was until construction walls were installed and even ride vehicles were removed from the attraction.

Back in October, we captured photos of bulldozers toppling this attraction while Guests were in the Park. Since that time Primeval Whirl has been completely cleared from DinoLand, and now it has disappeared on the digital map as well. The first photo shows Primeval Whirl still featured on the My Disney Experience app.

When looking at the photo of DinoLand, USA on the Walt Disney World website, what was once Primeval Whirl has now been replaced with a seating area, green grass, and trees. The Walt Disney Company has not shared what may be constructed in this open area.

Primeval Whirl has been completely cleared from DinoLand and now it has disappeared on the digital map as well.

Which attraction do you think should be added at the Primeval Whirl location? Did you enjoy riding Primeval Whirl when it was operational? Share you thoughts with us on our Facebook Page.
