Re: Universal closing Jaws ride
As an annual passholder I even received an email from Universal about this. They are calling it "Jaws the final voyage".
On January 2, 2012, one of Universal Studios' most iconic rides is heading out to sea for the last time. In order to make room for an exciting new attraction, Captain Jake's Amity Boat Tours is closing and we invite you to come celebrate with one final ride of JAWS®.
Come relive your favorite memories and get ready to scream as the Great White Shark takes its last bite.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

They going to turn it into another Harry Potter attraction?
*sigh* I have only been to Universal once in my life, but Jaws was one of my favorite attractions.

Re: Universal closing Jaws ride
Being a Universal employee, I can not release any information that I may know about any changes to the park... but what I can say is that JKR and Warner Brothers would never allow Potter to be split between the two parks. When Potter is ready to expand, it will be in the space adjacent to where it is now...

They are going to have a tunnel over to IOA and expand Harry Potter. The tunnel will, of course, have slidewalks as at many airports.

Re: Universal closing Jaws ride
I was actually thinking that one of my first transfers would be to Jaws. Guess not. As I understand it, the reasons for closing it are sound. Still, it will be missed.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
