Ever wondered how the universal studios jaws ride worked. When they drain the water for maintenence it kinda ruins the magic of the ride

LOL!

Yeah I thought it was a bit disappointing too.

I guess it's getting old now...

Looks like a bitch to fix when water is in the tank. Lots of dangerouse shit to get tangled up in. They could change the ride and call it Industrial Accident. Watch the scuba diver get his arm ripped off by the Jaws machine and turn the water blood red.

Agreed.

Still scarier than Jaws 3 and 4, though.

To be honest I thought the ride was lame and boring.

The fuckin thing broke when we were on it.

We sat there for like 1/2 hour while our 'tour guide' made really, really bad jokes...

Good times all around!


Anyway, I think it has been closed for good at this point.

Compared to the "progressive" nature of the rest of Universal Studios, the "Jaws" ride is a relic from a bygone era.

The novelty wore off long ago...

Actually its still running, as far as I know.
The Universal Studios website still has it there as an attraction.

Besides, its not really a "ride", more of an attraction that comes by as part of the Universal Studios tour that they take you on. I'm glad its still there -- its a part of cinematic history and young kids today still enjoy it, even if us old-timers are way passed the Jaws scare thing.

The King Kong ride "Kongfrontation" closed in 2002, replaced with a "Mummy" (the movie) themed ride.
