I feel that this ride could be improved by adding a few scenes. I understand they were working with limited space, but the story feels very rushed and incomplete. First, they should have a scene in the queue that introduces you to Kate, maybe better explaining what your purpose is on the island. It would also help to flush out her character a little better. Second, there should be one additional scene after you enter the temple, maybe an animatronic crab claw could surprise guests by popping out of a crevasse in the ground, snapping, before retreating into the hole. This would help set the mood a bit, instead of abruptly placing you in the action. This would then lead to the Kate “bat attack” scene, leading to the bug pit and Kate being grabbed by the claw we saw earlier. Next, the transition between bug pit to jungle is way too abrupt. The transition needs to be flushed out at least a little better. The Kong vs Rex fight scene would be fine the way it is, however as you enter the giant animatronic Kong head scene there needs to be some sort of resolution to the Kate subplot. Maybe show her standing outside the mouth of a cave, the broken crab claw laying beneath/around her. We see that Kong not only saved us, but Kate as well. The broken claw could be a prop, Kate could be a peppers ghost illusion or whatever. I’m not saying these changes would make this ride a must experience, but I think they would definitely improve it.
