Support the Jaws Ride petition for a chance to win Jaws on 4k

When the Jaws Ride closed in Januray 2012, many theme park and Jaws fans were devastated. The ride, a staple of the Universal Studios experience for over 30 years, was removed and made way for part of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The rest, really is Jaws history.

Much like the movie, the ride was plagued with techincal difficulites and was victim to multiple break downs and temporary closures, disappointing fans hoping to get up close and personal with Bruce, the animatronic shark.

Over a decade since the ride’s closure, one dedicated Jaws fan, Timothy Thompson has decided that we’ve been without a Jaws ride for long enough and has started a petition to bring the Jaws Ride back to Universal in Orlando.

Timothy: "I’ve been a huge fan ever since I was a little boy and I remember when I was 8 years old I got to experience the ride for the first time. It was so fascinating to me it was like nothing I’ve been on before. I know they used to have a lot of issues with the ride and was one of the main reasons they closed it down. Also to put the add on to Harry Potter.”

Tim’s petiion, started just over a week ago, has gathered over 1600 signatures but needs more to get the attention of Universal Studios. And now not only do you have the chance to help bring back the Jaws Ride, you could win Jaws in 4k!
