It has been announced today that one of the most iconic rides at Universal Studios and one that has made us all jump no matter how many times we go on it is to close! Yes, Jaws is closing to make way for a new attraction that is yet to be name.

It will be sad to see it go and we are also extremely interested to see what will be taking its place and so as soon as we hear we will let you know!

For now! So long Jaws!! it was fun to be thrilled by you!
