Primeval Whirl at Disney's Animal Kingdom is currently cycling in what appears to be Cast Member testing.

The coaster closed this past June and doesn't yet have a planned reopening date. Thanks to Dan W on Twitter for the info and see his tweet for video.

Ah, can't wait for a DVC inside DAK.

A random universal employee told me that

It was open tonight for Moonlight Magic. I spoke to a DVC exec and mentioned how nice it was to see it open for the event. He smiled and said “Enjoy it while its still here.”

Didn't guest satisfaction ratings at Magic Kingdom actually *increase* as a result of the closure of Stitch, or was that just an urban legend?

So, what is the status of getting the new dinoland coaster approved? if you can say

Well, at least we know that it’s not for Zootopia:

Stitch I can say would be minimal impact due to the number of rides at MK, but Backlot Tour was a head-scratcher as well for as long as it was closed.

People would have said the same thing about Stitch. Or Backstage Tour.

Blog Mickey reporting this is going back into non operational on Jan. 5th https://blogmickey.com/2019/12/primeval-whirl-ending-seasonal-operation-this-week-at-disneys-animal-kingdom So, what's the deal? Why would they keep a ride closed at a park that needs more rides? It's obviously running OK.

I can personally confirm 12/14 this ride is open

The times I rode in October it didn’t have a wait time posted in MDE nor did it even list as being open. I suspect there happened to be private events at night on the days it was open but that’s just me speculating. Tough to sell dinoland USA as a private event space with a major attraction down and if you have to cycle it for said event anyway for safety checks, might as well be open to the public first?
