Universal Studios have announced on their Facebook page that the legendary Jaws ride is to close.

I for one am GUTTED! I was only on it three months ago and it was as great as I remember. A sad day, here's the statement:

Hey fans, we want you to be the first to know... JAWS! and the Amity area will o
fficially close on January 2 to make room for an exciting, NEW, experience we're planning for you.

We know you love JAWS! and we do too. It has been an amazing attraction and after terrorizing the waters of Amity here at Universal Orlando for 20 years, it's a VERY important part of our history. So, we've got a couple things planned to ensure we always remember and honor it. We know it's hard to say goodbye, but we can't express how EXCITED we are about the new, innovative & amazing experience we're going to be bringing you.
