Why is it 100 feet in the air between two steep waterfalls?

Because it's a ride?
It is awful now.
⦁ Beginning has been replaced with cheap projections of the Mosasaurus.
⦁ Horrible transition into Herbivore Valley. Parasaurolophus was not fixed.
⦁ Predator Cove containment's do not match those seen in the Jurassic World movie. No longer any Dinosaurs or falling Jeep in the entire area (other than dead Pteranodon). The communication eavesdropping and containment breaches is not explained, at least not very well.
⦁ Lift with monitors that broadcast Owen Grady is odd.
⦁ Tyrannosaurus Rex Kingdom is strangely a night time only Jungle setting. Final encounter is not as leaked.
⦁ Etc.

Follow-up question:
Would this be a typical part of the exhibit to see while on the boat tour? If so, why are the raptors and I-Rex locked away in Predator Cove but T-Rex allowed to play? There would have to be some mechanism to prevent guest/T-Rex violence as we pass through the jungle, no?
P.S. Sorry, that was multiple questions. I couldn't help it.

and will always be lazy and unconvincing and cheap. when studios use screens instead of AA's to me it means they wanted to save money and did not care about the ride or final product at all.

There used to be the spitter in a previous boat with bloody clothes hanging from his teeth. But it still didn't feature large splashes of gore.

I wonder why the aquarium butts up against the rockwork on the right, but on the left there is this awkward gap between the rockwork and the tank. It doesn't make sense that there would be this giant tank that has a freestanding wall right next to a logical point in the geography to utilize.
In all honesty, I think the mososarus and stegosaurus area should have swapped. Gate opens to updated big reveal with stegosaurs, hardosaurs, some smaller dinos. We then pass into the rock cave which would logically put us under a body of water considering the waterfall. The always claustrophobic stegasaur scene now has screens and has us seeing the mosasaurus.

I think the screen scene was done pretty well, mostly because they implemented physical effects with it in a clever way (I thought the water coming off the top of the “tank” in sync was cool)
A big reason they put the screen scene where it is is because the first scene had become ruined by sight line problems.

The original first scene was never convincing. You can see the metal frame that the dinosaur sits on top if the fog effects aren’t working, which is most of the time. (They could have easily fixed it with plastic plants floating on the surface.) The new version did a much better job with the dinosaurs although there’s a period in the middle when nothing happens. I really like the screens with the water effects on the top. The rock work is very well done. The ending sequence was well done with more dinosaurs. I wondered what happened to the dueling dinosaurs on screens that was rumored to be there right before the drop.

Unsurprisingly, the Mosasaurus scene does not even change at night. It continues to be illuminated by sunlight.
Not true actually. At night it is big spotlights you can see through the water lighting the tank. You can see night sky between those beams.
Are you being sarcastic? It looks exactly the same.
