Universal
Studios Florida plans to close one of its oldest and most popular
attractions next month to make way for a new attraction. The theme park
announced on Facebook Friday that on January 2nd it will permanently
shut down its “Jaws” ride, based on the blockbuster 1975 Steven
Spielberg movie. It was one of the original features at the park when it
opened in 1990. The surrounding “Amity” area inspired by the island
where the movie was set will also close down to make room for a new
attraction. The park isn’t releasing any details about what’s next.
Other original features that have been closed since the park began
include the “King Kong” ride and a “Ghostbusters” themed stage show.
