Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom
Can anyone tell me if both tracks always operate on this coaster? Also, do you have a choice of which track you want to ride?
Thanks in advance!

The tracks are mirror images. One faces the midwasy, one face the trees, and they are located side by side.
The queue line weaves between both of them. Usually, the operator tells you which side to go to to keep capacity up.
When I was there, both sides were running fine.
The spinning has really picked up since opening, though. Make sure you keep an uneven weight balance, though. Put adults on one side and children on the other and you're in for some crazy spins.
Oh, and if the sign say 1/2 hour wait, it's only 10 minutes.

Both tracks usually operate. Generally (at least when I visited in June) the track on the left is for standby and the track on the right is for FASTPASS although this will vary to keep capacity from running into the ground.
And DON'T unevenly weight the car, espcially if you have little ones. A friend of mine and I unevenly weighted Exterminator at Kennywood (put both of us 200lb+ guys on one side) and we couldn't see anything when we got off we were so dizzy. You will spin violently.

Unevenly weighting the car on a Crazy Mouse is your friend IF you want to get the maximum spinning.
Two adults and two kids, might be a bit extreme, I'm surprised an operator would allow it. We had 3 people in one car on a Crazy Mouse at the MN State Fair Mighty Midway, and the resulting POV footage* is so crazy that some claim to get naseua just LOOKING at it.
* I had the carneys permission to videotape the ride.

The tracks are not mirror images. It's just the same Reverchon spinning mouse you'll find anywhere. The station sits between the two identical rides facing each other (yeah, I've got photos of this as well, and hope to post). In other words, if you're standing at the entrance, the "low" end of one ride is on your right while the "high" end of the other ride is on your left. The stations are on the inside while the lifts are on the outside, the inclines in opposite directions.
On my visit Thursday only one was running, and there was no wait.

As best as I can tell, yes (aside from theme, of course). I saw nothing about it that deviated from your standard model, other than the retractable railings at the block brake platforms.

The onyl difference between Primeval and Exterminator is themeing.
And Jeff, what I meant to say is that they face opposite directions. One faces the midway, the other faces the trees.

Last February I went there after my aunt forced us to instead of going to IOA and it was still under construction.
Looks like a fun ride though...

As the coasters get bigger so do the queue lines

If you don't have anything nice to say don't say ANYTHING at all.
Gamfan, but that's the theme of Dinoland. That whole area is supposed to be cheesy, given it's just a carny area set up by Chester and Hester next to an excavation site. I'm not saying that Disney is getting cheap -- they are -- but it's intentionally cheap in this case. Cluttered. Loud colors. Hokey. It's supposed to be that way.
