Jaws Attraction No More at Universal Orlando

Say good-bye to a beloved fixture at Universal Studios Orlando. The following message was posted on the theme park’s Facebook page.

Hey fans, we want you to be the first to know… JAWS! and the Amity area will officially close on January 2 to make room for an exciting, NEW, experience we’re planning for you. We know you love JAWS! and we do too. It has been an amazing attraction and after terrorizing the waters of Amity here at Universal Orlando for 20 years, it’s a VERY important part of our history. So, we’ve got a couple things planned to ensure we always remember and honor it. We know it’s hard to say goodbye, but we can’t express how EXCITED we are about the new, innovative & amazing experience we’re going to be bringing you.

I’ve said for a while now that Universal’s parks – both on the east and west coast – need an overhaul (Waterworld stage show, anyone?), but I feel like some attractions should be there forever. Jaws is certainly one of them.
