Speaking of Universal and "Jaws"... Back in the mid 1990's we went over to Universal Studios in Orlando. They had the "Jaws" attraction back then. This was near the entrance to the ride.
It was pretty cool ! They had the surroundings made up to look like a New England fishing village. I found all of these photos online. I didn't think to bring a camera with me at the time...
The best part I remember is when the shark actually breached the surface of the water with it's head right next to the boat we rode on... snapping it's mouth on the way by and then disappearing back into the depths.
This caught a lot of people off guard...the best part of the ride (for me) was watching the expressions and actions of the various riders that accompanied us on the ride. Some of them freaked out !
As you turned the corner, there was this boat with a huge chunk missing out of the transom. It sank quickly...
Then "Bruce" came back up for another bite and chomped down on a high current electrical cable...
The theme park tour boat captain would fire off a few rounds with a shotgun (not really but just for show) and then there would be a fire...
ending up with a "well done" Bruce...
that sank under the surface a final time...
I'm fairly sure this ride has been removed and is now replaced by something else... too bad.
