Jaws The Ride was Universal Studio's greatest ever ride. And since its closing in 2012 still has a large number of fans who love it for its underwater shark animatronics, its action, its theming, and its excitement. It totally also has a submechanophobia vibe too. So let's take a look at the history of Jaws The Ride, and the looming Shark animatronics that came with it, and why I think it still stands as Universal's best ever attraction.

I loved Jaws and I miss it a lot. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, both the Forbidden Journey and Hogwarts, and Diagon Alley, are great, but I'll always miss Amity Island. So I thought it would be fun to go over the full story, in depth, of the history of the ride, and why I think it's so great. And I guess more widely too, what makes a great attraction. Universal and Disney have so many great, large scale attractions now, but this was truly one of a kind way back when.
