They do a lot of different types of theming. Disney uses them a lot.

Rockwork? Whatever happens will cost at least $250 million, then. 
I'm guessing they'll use the PW coaster as scaffolding for a display of dino bones embedded in rock-face.
But to be in-theme, the rock face will be made of papier-mâché.

Dinoland USA is so sad and its sadness is only magnified when you consider it houses pretty much the only actual ride for little kids in the whole park. Maybe they could replace Primeval Whirl with another couple of kiddie rides and I'd move onto acceptance.
i agree dinoland is lacking, but it would be hard to compete against universal when it comes to dinosaur themed lands and IPs. Id kinda rather them dust off the beastly kingdoms idea and use the dinoland space for it....they could really create something epic in scale if they used the lake to the south as part of the land that seperated the "good" castle from the "evil" castle. And the Dinosaur ride system would be great for re-imagining with massive castle interior scenes

Originally....but not now? Am I reading too much into your words? =)
They need to just redo the land into a Lion King or Junglebook land. Nobody will miss that land for the next few years if they redo it

They still won’t bring it to DAK.

It doesn’t belong in a theme park. It’s trash.

Isn't it the same track as Goofy's Sky School at DCA?

Primeval Whirl was a Reverchon ride with customizations. Luna Park is operated by Zamperla who also manufactured the Tickler.
Goofy’s Sky School is a Mack Rides coaster.

So are they just going to take it down or retool it into something else?

Well it’s better as a ride than a decoration.

A new ride eventually. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Disney just clones the Frozen coaster layout being built at Hong Kong Disneyland, and just plop it here. It would bring AK to two coasters again, and it would be more on the kid friendly side, which is an area AK is lacking in. They would theme it to a generic dig site theme, and call it a day. I hope they don't do this, and we get something original, but I can totally see Disney doing this

LK and JB should get rides in the existing lands themed to the continents they take place in

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
A kid died on an identical coaster in the UK and despite months of testing Disney wasn’t able to guarantee the same issue couldn’t be replicated on PW, at least not without a significant investment of money that the ride’s popularity can’t justify.
Is how I’m reading in between the lines.

I imagine new cars would be the minimum (im no engineer but i presume theres no inherent issue with the track but a better restraint device would be needed. I dont mind dinoland usa....i just mind the part of it that looks rediculous.
