A Historical Deep Dive of the Legendary JAWS Ride at Universal Studios Florida
A blockbuster that shaped a nation. A failed ride concept that lasted only two months. A sequel that was so much more than just a theme park ride.
This is the story of the JAWS ride at Universal Studios Florida.

    Excelent video man! I love to watch those YT documentaries about theme park attractions and your channel always delivers quality content. About Jaws itself, I'm a simple brazilian who has traveled to Florida only once in 2011, most specifically December... I had no single clue that attraction was less than 1 month from closing forever, which makes me even more grateful for having been able to ride it. I remember seeing all the effects working and the skipper was awesome in his perfomance. I'll be forever grateful for that opportunity and the memories I have of that single 5-minute ride that scared the hell outta me 13 years ago 😂 Btw I swear I could feel the flames' heat from here while you were talking about them on the video lol Greetings from Brazil!

    OK - maybe it's just me but - tech problems design faults aside - didn't the sharks look better/more realistic in the original version ?! Something more convincing about them. I also like how they showed both the tale and the dorsal fin as the shark glided through the water, as you see when a real one crests the surface. Meh, a great ride regardless.

    • @StorybookAmusement
      @StorybookAmusement 6 дней назад

      You're absolutely right! That was a huge compromise with the update. The new sharks were a lot stiffer. That original boathouse shark is amazing. I didn't mention that the fin animatronics on the second version of the ride had swaying tails, but that motion was disabled after issues of the fixtures derailing off the track.
