Jaws

But I forgot the name of it, but I realized via social media that I have, I never knew the name of it, but, like, a fear of things that, like, shouldn't be underwater that are.

Like what? Uh, like a boat? No, like, well, like a sunken boat, but like, like there's a, uh, uh, what is it? Uh, the Jaws ride.

And someone said that they, someone fell off the Jaws, like the boat in the Jaws ride at like Disney.

And they were in the water with animatronic.

Oh, okay.

Yeah

... sore, uh, loser of Jaws: The Ride from Universal that was replaced with concrete Harry Potter world, which is wonderful as well, but-

Hmm

... it's no Jaws, okay? It's no Jaws.

Because you're in confined spaces.

Like the descent meets, you know, Jaws.

So it moved really slowly.

No, it moved very fast.

I appreciated seeing it.

But obviously it was slow as hell.

Like it looked like a robot shark going through like when I went on the Jaws ride in Universal Studios.

They probably used that shark.

Coming up today, I've got some stories about living in Central Florida while working at Disney, so focusing a little bit on life outside of the work down there.

And then I have the story of Jaws at Universal Orlando.

So I thought it would be fun to, uh, dive into a story in the parks and learn a little bit about it.

Of course, as with every episode, there will also be a game.

[upbeat music] All right.

Something a little bit different.

I've got a Universal story to go into today, and it's about the Jaws ride.

So from time to time on this podcast, I'm gonna pick different stories within Disney or Universal or maybe from elsewhere as well and just take a dive into that and, uh, and see where we go.

out her psychic torpedo.

Which very much reminds me of special effects that used to happen on the Jaws ride at Universal Studios.

Yeah.

Something I saw so, so many times as a studio guide.

There's loads of places that I've still not visited when it comes to dining.

So... there's definitely places that i'm like i haven't been there yet and it's one that maybe like every trip i think like this is the trip i'm gonna go to it and then i don't so i'm like this is the one we have to do some of these restaurants that are on the tick list and um yes it's gonna be table service dining because there's so many good table service restaurants particularly in disney world and i just want to try everything but obviously they are pricier so when i go i will normally try and balance out okay let's have some table service meals and quick service meals so that we don't completely break the bank so this time i'm like okay the ones that we kind of put off maybe this is the one this is the trip to do it so i cannot wait if you have any restaurants at disney or universal where you're like it is such an amazing experience the food is really good the atmosphere is amazing the theming's cool do let me know because there's definitely places that i've not been to yet so if you've got any that you recommend i need to know all the recommendations so it's gonna be so great Number 30, back in Universal, get the Jaws drink.

This is something that I have been influenced by.

I keep seeing TikToks of people getting this absolutely amazing drink in Universal Studios, where basically when you order it, the team member then gets a little rubber puppet of Jaws or a shark.

And then you have your drink, which is like blue, like water, obviously.

And then the shark comes along and attacks the drink.

Why'd you get rid of it? Or jaws.

They lean into jaws a lot.

And you got to go to Osaka to do the Jaws attraction anymore, right? So like, that's not even here at all.

So you've got the Jaws stuff they lean into, the Back to the Future, as you said.

You know, I feel like on the West Coast, because of those like theme nights that they were doing, the fan nights that they were bringing some of that stuff back to, because they could wrap it in.

But in general, it's them continually to go, look at all this cool stuff we used to have.

I haven't done Universal since I was like 10.

The last time I went to Universal, they had the Jaws ride.

They no longer have the Jaws ride.

So there's that.

I'm crying.

This one is...

I had Jaws ride universal Japan.

Um, I watched the ride POV and it's literally just the same one as they had in Orlando.

So I'm not going to talk too much about it.

Jaws ride.

You can still experience it.

You just got to travel across the world to do so.

I would pick Back to the Future.

Coming up

into San Francisco, the Wharf area, to our right is Richter's Burger Co., which currently is made over with a Jaws theme.

which is the real reason I'm walking down here.

I'm a big Jaws fan, if you didn't know.

Got some great photo opportunities all along the wharf here.

We have the

You gotta do, you gotta do, you gotta do Thank you.
