If you want to learn even more than I could cover here about the building and eventual closure of the original Jaws Attraction, as well as other aspects of Universal Orlando’s inception, check it out.

But I wanted to ask you to please do a video about all the deaths at Disney parks.(If you haven't already done so.) Thanks.

Sadly times have changed and I understand they need to update but they should have expanded and kept the classic rides and added the new ones. Maybe they will bring some of the classics back, one can only hope.

Dead-on , Eve!! Jaws, Kong, BTF (dont remember psycho...??), all were unparalled experiences! In Hollywood after the Kong-set burned, they came up with the lame 3-d -tunnel set during the studio tour. Once youve been menaced by actual 3-dimensional, larger than life gorillas and sharks, putting on those glasses is far from the world- class experience you'd expect from one of the worlds premier movie studios! Universal must be run by (cost-cutting) kids now...

I was 100% sure that wasn't part of the ride. lol...I will never forget either one of those rides. Jaws was closed when I was there though.

Maybe its just me but the orginal shark effects look a bit more sophisticated and detailed than the one they decided to go with. If you look closely, the teeth and gums move and the sharks head sloshes from side to side, something you don't see in the later footage of the ride. Good workmanship, but I can kind of understand why they had to scrap it since it couldnt stand up to the everyday rigors of a theme park.

@YesterworldEntertainment 7 жыл бұрын

It's not just you. I totally agree. I wish they could have found some sort of middle ground to keep the shark "realism" and practicality of functioning on a basically 24/7 basis. From what I've read, the material of the original sharks provided flexibility and realistic movement, but also allowed water to seep in after so much time in the water. So on the 2nd build, they opted for a material which kept water out...but severely limited it's mobility (in terms of those little details you mentioned). It's a big difference when comparing the original mechanical sharks to the new ones, much less life and realism...but I understand why they did it at the same time.

@akbarratt 7 жыл бұрын

Totally agreed. As much as I loved the boathouse shark, the prototype moves more like a real shark and I actually find it more unnerving.

Also technology might had thrown away all those memories of going to the movie rental, but kids of today have hundreds of movie on instant demand. Plus I still remember going to Redbox when I was younger, and well I am what you consider a 2000s kid, since I'm 14. Call the 2000 kids spoiled and compare to your generation we are, but your generation are also spoiled as in your Dad didn't have the technology you have now. I will admit that our shows and music is sucky, but to say there isn't hidden gems is a lie. When I was younger I watch ton of PBS kids and they had good shows like Curious George. Which I will called a childhood. Also the 80s cartoon were really terrible from what I seen. They tend to be obnoxiously aim for kids, and for the purpose of just selling toys. 90s shows were much better with like Pokémon and all. Let not mention things like Health care, and social security. Look, every generation have it's ups and down and no one generation is a better generation to have grown up in. Well beside the 1930s The 1930s suck!

I rode this on my first trip to Studios in 93, so I guess I missed the first incarnation, but the ride did break down on the last scene where you come out of the boathouse. Our skipper made us cover our eyes so we didn't see the fried jaws and we went around a second time. Kudos to the skipper too bc he sold it...made it like "we gotta go back out to help...oh no he is attacking again" rather than just dropping the act when it malfunctioned.

I was at Disney World, MGM (now hollywood studios) and Sea World when I was little and if I knew much about travel then I would have tried to insist on coming here, then I would have been able to ride Back to the Future ride and Jaws too! Those 2 all I can do is watch videos of those rides. I heard the Simpson's ride has some kind of reference to the BTTF ride.

The Jaws ride, on the other hand, I wish I could forget. I think I was maybe 12 years old, and it was absolutely terrifying. I had no idea it was going to be on an actual BOAT. The fire from the part with the explosion was hot as hell! Almost singed off my arm hair. There’s a part where you’re in some kind of shed and the sharks busts through the wall like the KoolAid man. I nearly crapped my pants! It’s a shame that it’s gone but I won’t exactly miss it

They don't seem to get those movies still have fan bases to this day for a reason, the park shouldn't just be about Harry Potter and new movies, it should be about some of the most iconic movies. Just waiting for them to close down E.T. and that pretty much will be the end of all their older movie rides.

The first time I visited Universal Studios Florida in 1991, when I was abt 8 or 9, the ride was completely shut down and there was a sign declaring it would reopen sometime in 1991. At the time, it was sad that it wasn't working but now we know the whole story. 12 years later, I went back to Orlando to go to school, and finally got to experience the Jaws Ride 2.0 and it became one of my favorite things at the park; I have many wonderful memories of riding it, from one skipper saying to the screaming man on the radio, "Thank you, Howard Dean!" to me screaming like a girl as I rode the attraction at nite after having a bit too much to drink. I haven't been to Universal Orlando in 14 years and it just wouldn't be the same now that this signature ride is gone.

'Show me the way to go home', it was in the original JAWS movie Chief Brody, Matt Hooper (Marine Biologist) , and Quint (shark hunter) started singing it at one part of the movie. I've been on the JAWS ride any times in the past. It was one of favorite rides, but I honest don't mind it being replaced with Harry Potter. After all I like both series very much. Even though we may no longer be able to ride here in the USA, it lives on in our hearts, minds, and on KZfaq.

They are a business, they saw this as an opportunity to make more money with a popular movie of our time.

Speak for yourself. I definitely got to experience it! :) We were there in the first month or so after the park opened, and I remember the old version so clearly. When we got to the front gate, there was a sign that said "Not Operating Today" and below it was Jaws, Kong, and Earthquake. We were about ready to just leave and go to Disney, since that was the 3 big E-ticket attractions. Before we left, a guy started yelling to the crowd that "Jaws is working everyone. Jaws is working!" So we figured if Jaws was working, maybe the others would be up and running at some point. It turns out we were right, because over the course of the day, we managed to ride all three. I remember the early version of Jaws very clearly, though. The sharks looked SO much better. Realistic looking skin, and the eyes glazed over and turned white when at least one of them attacked. The explosion with the bloody water at the end was awesome, rather than the silly charred shark they did later. I get that there were a lot of problems with reliability, but it was SUCH a better ride in the early days. The sharks were really terrifying. The later replacements just looked so plastic.

I’ve been going to universal since I was four. I am now 24. I remember when Jaws first opened up. I remember waiting in line. The big Shark statue you could take photos with. My first time on the ride I cried. I was so scared, especially in the boat house. My family and I continued to go on it for years up until the point where they shut it down. Since it’s been gone. I can honestly say I really miss it. Not just the ride, the whole area around it. They had a bunch of games surrounding the ride. My family and I use to make it a point to toss the rings on the bottles. We eventually got really good at the game. I will always be thankful I got to ride this ride. The mechanics, the overall idea of this ride was truly amazing. Although they still kept the shark statue that was at the front of the ride. It makes me sad to see it tucked off to the side of the dock. Right across from where the Harry Potter train now sits.
