Disney Files Permit for Construction at Primeval Whirl in Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Mathew Corn Animal Kingdom, Disney Parks

Disney has filed a permit for “general construction” at the site of Primeval Whirl in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, which permanently closed over a year ago.

Other than ride vehicles being removed, the attraction has sat mostly untouched. Earlier this year, Disney filed a permit for “labor, material and/or electrical for construction”, contracting their in-house construction company, but no visible work has been done to the attraction.

The new permit may be for demolition of the attraction, but it contracts MLC Theming, a company that usually deals in construction. The permit expires in April 2022, so any work that will be done should be visible in the coming months.

Walt Disney World Files Permit for “Project Nugget” Construction on Magic Kingdom Fireworks Launch Site

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks

While all fireworks and nighttime spectaculars at the Magic Kingdom are temporarily suspended due to new health and safety regulations across Walt Disney World, a new permit has been filed pertaining to a so-called “Project Nugget”, with the address located at the park’s fireworks launch site.

The Notice of Commencement lists the following description: “MK Project Nugget Main F-B Electrical, 1440 Floridian Way”, with the work described as labor, material, and/or electrical for construction. Typically, this usually means some kind of developments or improvements in the area.

Given that the permit includes a project name, it may be a sign of something larger beyond just your typical construction work. We’ll keep an eye on any further permits pertaining to this project moving forward, and hope to see fireworks return to the Magic Kingdom soon!
