That'd be an unfortunate downgrade if they replicated Hollywood's "finished" product.

Honestly, even in it's static defunct state, JPRA is better than JWRA

Half agree. The Mosasaurus screen section sucks really bad, the screens with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are poorly done and completely break my immersion, I miss the falling jeep, and vastly prefer the atmosphere from the original lift hill.

But all the new animatronics and especially the new finale are so incredible that it remains my favorite ride at USH. If they just… don’t do the big screen tunnel, and keep the rest of the ride closer to JPRA than JW but still add all the new animatronics, that would be like my favorite ride ever

My biggest annoyance with this is the completely open exit. How difficult is it to add rockwork so we'd literally exit via the cave tunnel!? Plus keeping the waterfall would help sell the cracked glass gimmick since you wouldn't see the outside

Understatement. There was originally going to be another screen before unload of them welcoming us back. Thankfully that was removed early on

The new movie trailer shows An extended river raft scene. I realize everyone is expecting a port of the CA version, but could possibly
Be getting something tied to the new film instead ?

For whatever it's worth, that scene is heavily pulled from the original Jurassic Park Crichton novel.

I believe it was initially in the first drafts of the first film, too. They were simultaneously designing the ride and film, but the ride was in too deep by the time they cut it from the movie.

And when they're at the table with the "spared no expense" lunch.. you can hear in the background audio they mention the "river adventure/cruise" as one of the park's upcoming rides

It at least survived in drafts long enough to make it to the concept art stage:
