The Jaws ride may be gone, but it will never be forgotten! 🦈

One of my favorite things about visiting Universal is spotting all the little nods to the iconic movie and beloved attraction throughout the park. From hidden references to familiar sights that bring back memories, Universal does a great job honoring a classic that helped make the parks what they are today. While I miss riding through Amity and hearing “You’re gonna need a bigger boat,” I love that the legacy of Jaws still lives on around Universal. ❤️🦈

Day 3: Started the morning with taking the garden walking path to the parks, drank more butter beer, explored Hogwarts Castle, hung out with Cat in the Hat, ate Otto’s pet rock (delicious), found the parks nod to Jaws and so much more! So many memories were made on this trip, my heart is full!❤️
