I agree with you. Once we hit Orlando/Disney I do expect that "King-Like-Feel" that only Disney can give me. They've been doing it for years !! I suppose that's their hook in me, making me come back time and time again !!

Personally not a big fan of the ride...but did anyone notice no one has actually answered the original posts query, does anyone know what those "official looking" people may or may not be up to out in Dinoland?
Oh, I have no idea.

Gosh, till now did I take the time to read the back-story of Dinoland ... I've been going for so many years and although I love the area, I've never taken the time to research "why" it's there .... now I can't wait to get back to find the hidden secrets and tid-bits I've learned !!!

Some had blue prints, some were taking pictures, multiple were taking notes, some even sketching, and one was leading the discussion. The focus was around Primeval Whirl.
Based on the timing, it may have been to review preparations for Donald Duck's Dino-tastic Celebration (beginning Memorial Day Weekend 2018).
The latest details mention the a new DJ stage and "colorful new décor" being added to DinoLand USA for the Event.

It's rough on the back as I get older but we've always enjoyed it. You might still find some "mouse trap" roller coasters on boardwalks but my guess is that they are slowly disappearing. I think its a nice alternative to something like RNRC which is a super smooth ride. PM really takes you back to roller coaster roots!

It is a wild mouse roller coaster, so the jerkiness is to be expected.
