The only thing I want from the original is the way that they paced and choreographed the action sequences. That, and Marion.

Seriously, though, every thing that happens in the bar in Raiders happens for a reason and has a consequence, either a few minutes later or a few scenes later.

Contrast that with runaway mine car in Temple of Doom, a pointless sequence with no thrills that went on for two long (were they planning a rollercoaster based on it while they were still making the movie) or the death trap that could be escaped by pulling a lever but it was too icky to stick her hand in. (Which brings us back to Marion. She wouldn't have been skeeved by some icky bugs.)

I came out of Raiders 2 with "What the hell?" stamped on my forebrain. Biggest...disappointment...ever.

I suppose I could have suspended disbelief if they just hadn't had bugs for dinner. Got up. Walked out. Saw the end on DVD.

Were they planning a roller coaster ride while they were making the movie...

I’d say almost certainly so.
