End Of An Era of the Day: Universal Studios Florida announced yesterday on its Facebook page that it will be shuttering its iconic Jaws-themed attraction to make room for something else.

Jaws: The Ride was one of the park’s first attractions upon opening in 1990. The entire Amity set will be removed as well as part of the renovation.

“Jaws has been an amazing attraction and an important part of our history,” said Universal spokesman Tom Schroder. “We know that Jaws holds a special place in the hearts of our guests, but we always have to look to the future and dedicate ourselves to providing new, innovative entertainment experiences for our guests.”

Universal Studio’s track record is less than stellar when it comes to “modernizing” iconic attractions.

In 2002, it did away with its “King Kong Kongfrontation” to make room for a Revenge of the Mummy-themed roller coaster. In 1996, it installed a Twister “experience” over a Ghostbusters stage show.

However, word on the street is Universal Studios has something magical in store for Jaws’ old watering hole. It’s no secret that Universal’s Islands of Adventure theme park has been doing significantly better since it opened the Wizarding World of Harry Potter last year.
