"Jaws" ride shuts down for good..

[cresent34]

One of the mainstays of Universal Orlando is shuttered:

Jaws, the classic Universal Studios Florida ride in which tour boats full of guests are attacked by a robotic great white shark, will close permanently on Jan. 2 to make way for a new attraction, Universal Orlando announced Friday.

The ride, based on the 1975 movie directed by famed director and Universal theme-park consultant Steven Spielberg, was one of the original attractions in Universal Studios when the park opened in 1990.

I was a passenger on this ride back in early 2000....haven't been down to Florida since then. It had a pretty long run...wonder what will replace it.
