Incorrect. The last Indiana Jones computer game was called Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. It was a 3D action-adventure game in the Tomb Raider vein. But that's not really on topic.
I personally believe that AK NEEDS more stuff to do. I love the animals and the displays but the small amount of attractions combined with a poor layout crowds everyone into the walkways making it feel more crowded than any other park with similar attendance. I would prefer that the new coaster be placed in a whole new area that would help spread folks out. I would also hope that the ride, whatever it is, be partially enclosed and heavily themed. The thing about Disney is that roller coasters are okay as long as they are at least partially enclosed and have a "dark ride" element. It would not even have to be a coaster. Perhaps something based on the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" ride system where you go underground and meet up with many fantastic animals, including the "Reign of Fire" dragons.
As far as whether it "belongs" in the park is entirely up to theming and design. A well themed and designed thrill-ride would be perfectly fine with me. If the thought of large action attractions in the nature-oriented park bothers you, I'm afraid that went out with Kali River Rapids. I think they always planned it to be a full park with several rides, etc. Otherwise it would have just been a gussied-up Discovery Island.
