I miss 90s universal studios as a whole. Jaws, Kong, Back to the Future, Nickelodeon studios, the original Hard Rock Cafe, Ghostbusters, I'm sure I'm missing something.
I still stand by saying destroying Amity / JAWS was a huge mistake. It's like if Disney tore down the Haunted Mansion and made a Frozen ride instead. As for bringing Potter to Universal, they should have just made a show experience at Fear Factor, and then used MIB for a new ride. That way they would have had 2 Potter attractions, and then JAWS would remain. What they ended up doing just feels super awkward and forced into the area. Not to mention to us non-Potter heads it just feels like the same atmosphere as the land in IOA. Epic Universe needs an Amity some day. :) Great video Alicia! :)
@@villalobosedwin1214 no all the videos you watch have nothing deadly what? did the shark actually tear out a piece of the boat did the driver shoot you with the pyrotechnics grenade launcher like what happened
Disney already replaced the Maelstrom with a boring Frozen ride with their creepy video screen faces, and all of the Norway pavillion (based on a real country with real people with real history) was refurbished to be more like "Arendelle" (a fictional country, with no native peoples and no history)
I miss it! Especially as I'm not into Potter so its replacement doesn't do much for me. I also miss how much the ride terrified my daughter, and to this day any mention of Jaws makes her cringe 😁 Great little vid Alicia and with extra kudos given your history and association with the ride 👍
Great video I miss the Jaws ride I it was a great ride it's sad to see it go I bought some stuff from the Jaws store I wish unverial studios would bring it back I was 2 years old when Jaws 2 came is there any movie props from Jaws 2 though 4 movies
In the new epic universe I’d like a Luigi’s Mansion ride, a scooby doo ride, and a ghostbusters ride. I don’t know where they could put ghostbuster ride and scooby doo but it would be cool and jaws 😊😊😊😊🦈🦈🦈🦈🚤🚤🚤
Every time I went on this when I was a little kid my mom and dad would play a joke on me and lift/tilt me out of the boat right next to the jaws animatronic and I was shook from then on
Wouldn’t it be great if at Epic Universe they had an area of reimagined classic attractions. Especially an updated jaws ride using the latest tech that would be so awesome.
@@athing8846 fair enough each to There own, I can see your point, onwards and upwards. But personally I never got to ride a lot of the classics, so would like the chance to, especially if they are reimagined using the latest tech, I think there is a market for retro IP’s, but like I said each to there own.
Harry Potter land: *exists* Me before hearing “Jaws will always be there!” from a random RUclipsr: 🤩 Me after hearing: “Jaws will always be there!” from a random RUclipsr: 🤢
I'm hoping they build that phase 2 ride for the Monsters land based on Creature from the Black Lagoon, because it sounds like it would be very similar to the old Jaws ride... like a spiritual successor.
I completely understand why Universal brought Potter to the park, but I'll always have a slight grudge against it shoving Jaws out of the way. Does anyone know what happened to the screen used boats from Jaws The Revenge that were outside the ride's entrance?
The first time I went here was about a year after Jaws closed down ;-; I don't see why they had to close it down to make room for a Potter attraction since they already have a Potter land in one of the other connected parks
Wait huh I have never heard of the animatronic being buried under the fountain crazy but which one the burnt the ending scene, the fire scene or the boat house which if I was to guess the ending scene but not the burnt version
I've never been on it but i kinda feel sad it was demolished. Though i do have submechanophobia, so i'd possibly not go on it but just watch how it unfolds if i ever went to Universal.
I still don't understand why they removed the second rope from the hanging shark. Instead of being a fisherman's catch, it's now like the shark is still alive and looking up at you
I still don’t like that they took out this classic ride...I never got to ride it and it took so long to design it back then...maybe they can make a newer version in the future
Who else misses the Jaws ride?
me me me me meeeeee
Jaws movie was a classic they should do something for it.and in Florida it's a no brainer.😊👍
ME!!!

The removal of this ride was one of Universals biggest mistakes.

Great video Alicia! :)
Yeah, I would’ve removed MIB and Fear Factor, then make the expansion
Jaws was taken down because of the health risks noted early on. The ride could be deadly at points, so for safety reasons, they took it down.
@@villalobosedwin1214 no all the videos you watch have nothing deadly what? did the shark actually tear out a piece of the boat did the driver shoot you with the pyrotechnics grenade launcher like what happened
I mean Disney got rid of the tower of terror to replace it with guardians of the galaxy, so it was bound to happen
Disney already replaced the Maelstrom with a boring Frozen ride with their creepy video screen faces, and all of the Norway pavillion (based on a real country with real people with real history) was refurbished to be more like "Arendelle" (a fictional country, with no native peoples and no history)
Honestly the thing I miss most about Jaws is that soundtrack! So good!
Fun fact from a team member at UO/IOA
Grigotts/olivander’s breakroom still smells of fish as it was the breakroom for Jaws ✌️✌️
I miss it! Especially as I'm not into Potter so its replacement doesn't do much for me. I also miss how much the ride terrified my daughter, and to this day any mention of Jaws makes her cringe 😁 Great little vid Alicia and with extra kudos given your history and association with the ride 👍
They NEED to bring back the ride better than ever.
They should make it longer and scarier
Yes. And if they don’t have space in universal studios they could put it in Epic Universe
Alica I definitely miss that jaws ride that was my childhood memories
That was awesome and I was always a fan of the JAWS ride. It is a shame the both JAWS and Terminator were taken away.
I get to go to Universal this weekend and I’m so excited 😆
Great video I miss the Jaws ride I it was a great ride it's sad to see it go I bought some stuff from the Jaws store I wish unverial studios would bring it back I was 2 years old when Jaws 2 came is there any movie props from Jaws 2 though 4 movies
There's another record in the shop window by a band called the says "the cal-AMITY".
Oh awesome! I didn’t spot that. Will look for it next time.
Thanks for the fun facts,a much missed attraction along with back to the future & kongfrontation. 🦈🔥🦍
He's under the fountain! 😍
I spoke to an employee who seemed to know everything about universal and I asked if jaws will ever come back. He said never. :(
I really miss this ride. They should bring it back somehow
I heard a rumor saying that the Jaws ride may return to Epic Universe
Ten minutes? We'll be shark bait in ten minutes
In the new epic universe I’d like a Luigi’s Mansion ride, a scooby doo ride, and a ghostbusters ride. I don’t know where they could put ghostbuster ride and scooby doo but it would be cool and jaws 😊😊😊😊🦈🦈🦈🦈🚤🚤🚤
Awesome Job! Def makes me want to ride Jaws as well and watch the movie for the 1,582 time ! :)
This is great! Thanks for sharing. As cheesy as it was, I really do miss it! Especially the music.
Every time I went on this when I was a little kid my mom and dad would play a joke on me and lift/tilt me out of the boat right next to the jaws animatronic and I was shook from then on
I can't believe it's been nearly 10 years scenes this ride closed it's doors. I still remember the last time I was on that ride.
i think someone should mak a petition for bringing back the jaws ride or just rebuild it
When Epic Universe opens, they should bring Jaws back but this time they should make it longer and even scarier
Even though the Jaws ride is gone in Orlando it's still there in Japan. I swear to God if they get rid of it I'm going to be so mad! 😡
I swear if they touch Jurassic Park..
they got a tour tram at universal hollywood that also has a jaws segment.
Wouldn’t it be great if at Epic Universe they had an area of reimagined classic attractions. Especially an updated jaws ride using the latest tech that would be so awesome.
Lancashire Transport Videos LTV No thanks, I wouldn’t waste my tickets for old IPs. I want new and improved rides and ride types
Even better, I would be JAWSOME!
@@athing8846 fair enough each to

@@athing8846 let me guess you'll go check out the third Harry Potter land though because that's new and fresh and we don't already have two right?
Great video! I love when there's references to the attractions that were there before. 😁
They should have never gotten ready of Jaws.
I miss the jaws ride. I rode it twice. I wish the jaws ride come back I’m a big Harry Potter fan. At both parks. But this ride jaws was classic
Hey that’s my friend doing the Ocean Attack!!!
AMAZING. Thank you!
So glad I got to ride it
I still don't get why they don't call Universal "Harry Potter Land" since they are taking everything away for more Harry Potter
Great video Alicia! 🦈
So cool
Another Amazing Video & I Love it !!! 🦈 👍 🦈
Bring the JAWS ride back for the 50th Anniversary.
This video seems made for JT of TheBitBlock lol
Here's a great Jaws tribute idea...fear down Diagon Alley and rebuild it!
Or maybe they can buy more land so they could put Jaws in a different part of the park
Harry Potter land: *exists*

Do you think In the new epic universe land they will put jaws there? I know it’s not really related to anything but do you think it’s possible?
I'm hoping they build that phase 2 ride for the Monsters land based on Creature from the Black Lagoon, because it sounds like it would be very similar to the old Jaws ride... like a spiritual successor.
Kenzie Steinbacher I’d like that
Do references to Back To The Future The Ride and Kongfrontation
The shark in thumbnail is also at six flags st Louis
I completely understand why Universal brought Potter to the park, but I'll always have a slight grudge against it shoving Jaws out of the way.
Does anyone know what happened to the screen used boats from Jaws The Revenge that were outside the ride's entrance?
My friend at his school gets to go to universal and I’ve been trying to convince the teachers that plan our trips to take us
Thanks
so interesting!!!!!!
The first time I went here was about a year after Jaws closed down ;-;
I don't see why they had to close it down to make room for a Potter attraction since they already have a Potter land in one of the other connected parks
I like the jaws ride
Wait huh I have never heard of the animatronic being buried under the fountain crazy but which one the burnt the ending scene, the fire scene or the boat house which if I was to guess the ending scene but not the burnt version
I remember that ride when I was kid
I got to ride on that one time when i was younger
I really wish they could just relocated Jaws.
Have you read the Jaws Ride book, where the author interviews "old" ship captains about their memories? (author = McNeil)
I’m not afraid.
In the water, I’ll wade.
Oh no! I forgot my band-aid
(To the Amity island tune)
BRING A JAWS RIDE 😊👍
I've never been on it but i kinda feel sad it was demolished. Though i do have submechanophobia, so i'd possibly not go on it but just watch how it unfolds if i ever went to Universal.
I will never forgive them for removing Jaws you could have picked anywhere!!!!
What's the weather supposed to be like why Play
I still don't understand why they removed the second rope from the hanging shark. Instead of being a fisherman's catch, it's now like the shark is still alive and looking up at you
Bring it back to the new park
What’s in the water?
“SHUTTED”?
Loved Jaws, not a Potter fan so there is no reason for me to go back to Universal.
But...Isn’t there on in Japan
should have never closed it down or atleast bring it ack to the new park epic universe
I won't go to the Harry Potter world ever!
still dont get why jaws had to go to make room for harry potter
They had to put the new land somewhere
It was high maintenance to keep Jaws open
Me
I still don’t like that they took out this classic ride...I never got to ride it and it took so long to design it back then...maybe they can make a newer version in the future
Gytoek
They could have kept jaws and build the hp ride somewhere else
I'm soooo glad that I'm did not ride there I we'll be shark food right noe
I'm soooo glad that I'm not riding in there I we'll be shark food right now
I hate Harry Potter
Hate Harry potter
