More progress has been made at the site of the former Primeval Whirl attraction. The Disney’s Animal Kingdom attraction permanently closed over one year ago. Now the ride has become extinct.



A look through this opening reveals that no vertical structure remains. Scraps of metal are strewn about.



From this angle, one small structure still appears to be intact near the retaining wall.



This wide view shows the heavy equipment being used to demolish the structure.

The lone remaining vertical structure is the former attraction’s entrance.


Looking between the fence and the roofline reveals that portions of the entrance structure have collapsed.

Work lights allow the demolition to take place at night.


Two backhoes, a lift, and a small tractor are parked inside the site. Not that long ago, the back corner of one side of Primeval Whirl was still standing.


Disney has installed more permanent fencing along one side of the site. It is likely that this fence will remain until the site is repurposed.
