This link was posted on The Daily What earlier, but I wanted to put it out there as well. One of my favourite memories of going to Universal Studios as a kid was going on the Jaws ride. We had a really good boat leader and it made the ride much more exciting. The second time I went to Universal, this ride was unfortunately under repair.
Now that this ride is closed down, I’ll never get to go on it again. I know, I know. #firstworldproblems, right? But still, I’m going to miss this ride. In recent years, Universal Studios has removed attractions such as Twister and King Kong. I can understand the need to bring in more recent attractions to keep the park relevant, but I think the removal of old classics can eventually be detrimental to the history of the park. I mean, when the new contemporary rides get old, they will be replaced too. It’s a cycle, but movies like Jaws and King Kong I feel would be irreplaceable.
