    Noooo! I haven't heard but I hope it's not true. I know it's old but we always ride it and always enjoy it. IMHO, I wouldn't mind seeing E.T. go...but not Jaws! I was sad when King Kong went...but, I do love the Mummy. SO it was bittersweet.

    I'm so glad we're going this month!
    (I'm expecting to a proposal when Jaws pops out of the water. )

    I'm glad we enjoyed it three or four times in the last year, but not so sad to see it go. Hopefully we can get over one more time before 2 January to enjoy. Excited to hear what's replacing it.

    Confirmed on CNN...we saw it for the first and apparently last, time this year. My husband laughed, he said it was not at all what he expected. He described it as a bad Jungle Cruise.

    I wonder what is replacing it???????
    While it's not the most exciting ride I will miss it. It's a Universal classic for us. I love the Mummy but am still sad that King Kong is gone. It was a great ride.
    But I also miss Back to the Future & Ghost Busters! lol

    I feel that there is enough room at Universal Studios that attractions can be added without getting rid of the older classics.

    It's classic but it being so maintenance heavy it's age was showing. I'm still more sad about BTTF being gone over Jaws.

    I wonder what will happen with the general area surrounding it. With it being gone, I can't see Beetlejuice or Fear Factor (or the set seeing as it's seasonal) being there for too much longer. That would leave a TON of room with Disaster stuck in the middle...

    Even with me being a huge Potter fan and liking the parks, I think that would be overkill...

    Default From The Email This Morning....

    On January 2, 2012, one of Universal Studios' most iconic rides is heading out to sea for the last time. In order to make room for an exciting new attraction, Captain Jake's Amity Boat Tours is closing and we invite you to come celebrate with one final ride of JAWS®.

    Come relive your favorite memories and get ready to scream as the Great White Shark takes its last bite.

    I guess they aren't giving any clues to what they have in store for that section of the park.

    At least Universal sends attractions off with a bang.

    They dont just shutter an attraction for years and then just close it. Announcing the closure so people have time to do one last ride through is a better idea.

    When Kong closed, the send off party was a blast.

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    I think it's silly if they put anything HP related in US (since everything is over at IOA). If anything, put the HP expansion over at Lost Continent.

    Also, I hate that they are removing Jaws. It's a classic ride
