A waltzer on rails high up in the sky - terrified me! Just as you think you are going off the end of the rails, the car whizzes itself around and you go in another direction. I hated it but 8yr old loved it.

We tried this out for the first time a couple of weeks ago and thought it was really good, great for all the family, enough thrills for the real dare devils and not tooooooooo scary for me:)

Sounds great! It reminds me from the description of the rollercoaster at Chessington WOA, the Mad Mouse or somethign it's called?!
I strapped my camera to my wrist and took some great pics of my mother-in-law on this ride. [msnsmile2]
She's nearly 70 and doesn't do thrill rides....she had trouble walking in a straight line afterwards, but it was worth it !!
myself & my lad Jake went on this 7 or 8 times during our last trip. Jake has mobility problems but loves rollercoasters & this is one of his favorites. Depending who you get in the car with you influences the spin speed as well :)

Well, I had a go last year, but this year just let the kid go on her own[msnwink]Not for me, I must have been made the first time[laugh]
They had this ride in the car park at our shoping center, a few week's ago and it was named the mouse trap :D

Primeval Whirl is quite a good, exciting ride without being in the 'white knuckle' class. I think PW often gets biased reviews and I feel that it is better than what some reports make it out to be. Like BTMR, PW is a good 'second step' coaster for those gradually overcoming their fears and climbing up the rollercoaster ladder.
I was very underwhelmed by this ride to be honest....but I do think the whole of Chester and Hesters is terrible as well.
I've had more of a thrill in a similar vein from the two bit travelling fairs in the UK on the Waltzers. Now *that's* a spinning ride :)
My first job as Disney CEO would be to rip out Chester and Hesters.

Though I quite like Primeval Whirl, I agree with Brizzle that Chester & Hester as a whole is tacky, garish and totally out of context with an Animal Themed park. It should be removed and something a bit more aeshtetically pleasing put in its place, with PW alone retained and quietly redecorated to suit the new surroundings.

We queued for about 45 minutes for this as it looked good fun for my two who were wimps for most of the last trip. I thought it looked very tame but we were all pleasantly surprised with the outcome!
Not sure if it would have the same effects a second time though
