Save Jaws!!

I'm not surprised they are getting rid of it. I mean, come on people, you have to admit it's one of the cheesiest things ever.

[Digiwario]

@MinaandMarelleCole It's not so much cheesey as it is out dated. Still, it was one of the originals so it's sad that it's gone.

@stringfellowhawke247 well what other reason would there be to close down a classic, fan favorite attraction than the fact that it screws up at least once a month? I mean it's animatronics in the water, that's kind of a problem waiting to happen. Plus there's tons of videos of people on the ride when it malfunctions

[Floundermore]

@ManEatingSharks I meant it in the sense that though it is certainly an enjoyable ride, the attendants, short films that played in the que, and effects were all making light of the film it was based on. Who among us could call the ride the most realistic we could get to the film? However with Universal's newer projects such as WWHP, and the Transformers ride, they are going for a much more interactive approach of putting the riders in the movies, instead of having them ride alongside it.

I rode Jaws for the first time on the day they announced that they were closing in for Harry Potter.

[ephitames]

Don't close this classic, the boats are still packed

[ironspider1600]

@ephitames the boats are packed because they're closing

[Asian780]

Aww I'll miss that ride...why do they have to get rid of it...I live in California and the one here in Hollywood doesn't have it and they are the ones that do. Well, I'll miss that ride and the videos will be memories of it.

[lightningwu]

Missing this ride already :( I really really wish I could ride it one more time before its closing. :(

[Floundermore]

@angelakasuna rumor has it they're building a Hogwarts Express that will link the parks. Images of British countryside would be projected onto the windows. Jaws' fanbase didn't even come close to that of Harry Potter, so they're catering to the masses. Like the 'Back to the Future' ride, Jaws was a quirky and very, very cheesy expansion to the series, but with the WWHP Universal are taking things more seriously. And it's certainly paid off.

[wwe2dragon]

You guys do know they're closing this because it's always malfunctioning, right?

[stringfellowhawke247]

@wwe2dragon Thats not the reason although its true that it is always having problems.

[Universalcoasters]

I understand this ride is old not many people like it and I know they are getting rid of it but Cmon its a classic! They just can't get rid of all these classical good rides to put cheesy ones in. I don't like what they are doing

[swifters100]

@Universalcoasters agreed. im glad im not the only who who thinks that

[Predatorocks]

@Universalcoasters On the contrary, I actually always wait in a longer line for this ride compared to other Universal rides. It's a bigger area with the Fear Factor stage which they are probably getting rid of too, it has big animatronics, boat drivers that costs more money, and gasoline / fire. I don't like what they are doing either, but yet I must say I do like the Mummy coaster even though King Kong to me was the best in the park at the time, but it was major money.

[cdgunzz97]

@Universalcoasters I strongly agree. I like the WWoHP, but c'mon.. the Harry Potter hype is getting a bit ridiculous

[angelakasuna]

Why are they closing it?

[swifters100]

@angelakasuna their putting something else there

[DarthVadermatt]

The driver is really eccentric

[Bloodyhell28]

well i wont miss it... because this is realy a atraction for just one time. After that i am happy that the space that will be there after jaws is gone.. Will be there for another totaly new experience... I am sign for it... alll a board :)

[andy100965]

Bye bye Jaws - A big mistake I think but....

I'm sure Disaster or twister could have gone in it's place. The boats still full on this tour just shows it's still popular

[antsony94]

its closing?????

[Legolas813]

@antsony94 Jaws is closing forever on Jan 2, 2012.

[regularshow99]

Im gonna miss this ride :(
