Jaws: The Musical - How To Tune A Fish

BTW, Jaws is a ride in Orlando, with a "skipper" who spiels and launches gunfire and mortar rounds during the ride

That's a lot of fun. I've made similar productions for cast members of The Great Movie Ride. (I wouldn't dare post them on YouTube, as I fear and tremble to think what the mouse might do to the poor souls on camera still working there.)

Many elements here will be familiar to any theme park worker. The "where is my bump" line is perhaps the most, if you'll pardon the term, universal.

My favorite bit is the very last shot (alas, it's the only one with the shark in it.)

This is odd - when we went in early December, there were no signs for a Jaws attraction, and I was kind of looking for it as we went by the Amityville area. I just pulled out my map from that visit, and it's not on there.

But I looked online, and it was listed.

Is this a seasonal attraction? I figured it was removed when they put the Fear Factor stage in.

It was still "on hiatus" during your visit, possibly never to return, so they were thinking. But now it's open again, and word is it will stick around, thanks to guest demand.

For obvious reasons, I'm a fan of this ride, though I don't get out there very often. And like the guy in the conference room on the video, I too thought KONGFRONTATION was a brilliant attraction, especially when all the effects worked. I would have pulled Earthquake before Kong, but, no one consults me about these things at all.
