I was one of the original Jaws skippers... well not the original, original but the reopened original in 1993. Way to go to this new crew excellent work!!!
This is genius, brilliant, and hilarious. Thank you all so much for the years and years of fun at JAWS. I have no idea no many times I went on that ride. R.I.P.
Absolutely brilliant! I nearly fell off my chair. What a fantastic idea. Have the other rides ever thought of doing something similar? More of the same please!!!!!
god bless the skippers. and thanks for this amazing video. Jaws is, was and always be the best attraction at the park. I would ride the boats all day if I could. R.I.P Gorden
Thank you to all the skippers who made Jaws fun and immersive. Albeit it was intense for small children but what do u expect from a ride based on a movie about a shark that terrorized a bunch of islanders
Oh! How do I love this video! Let me count the ways!!! Yall have made others want to make their own... Anyone who has ever worked at an attraction understands this and loves this!! My attraction at another Orlando park talks about this all the time!
I work at Disneyworld and have worked a few attractions and if they have half the dedication and love for their rides Disney would be back to the good days of guest sevice. Thanks Universal!
I loved this! The folks at Universal are the most creative I've ever worked with and this just demonstrates it beautifully! Thanks for captioning, but you missed the Universal Interpreters!?!
Wow you guys did an awesome job with this video. Oh and love the fact that it's captioned. :) Would have been cooler with a sign lang interpreter. (I hear you have some good ones at the park hee hee)
Could you maybe provide a list of songs parodies in this video? Would be great if you did. I enjoyed the video so much, I'm glad I felt silly and searched "How to tune a fish" lol
I think King kong Should come back, Plus the Jaws Attraction should end up somewhere in Universal Studios Hollywood, and i am not referring to the Studio Tour Version.
the reason for jaws' apparent closing was that at the time, Universal considered shutting down jaws seasonally because of costs especially with the gas prices being jacked up (thanks to the exploding gas dock section). however universal kept Jaws open as long as the special effects were toned down (i.e. the ring of fire effect could only be done during the evening)
regardless of you not having anything to do with Universal Studios, this could still get the skippers in trouble. I myself am a skipper there and it upset all who took part in the video when they found out it was leaked, which is why it was taken off a month or so ago in the first place. and also like scout said, it was a video made for team members only, so even if it proved free advertisement, it still is breaking UO's policy, therefore can be a threat to those who produced it.
Hello- Let me tell you that i LOVED THE VIDEO, it was great, the guy with the Black Glasses in the very begining was my first skipper when i visited Universal on march last year and he sucked, but he was my first skipper, the second one was funnier and Cynical , i taped it and love that guy...also Ashley the girl on Earthquake i taped her performance she rocks..does anyone know her...can you give me her email??? JAWS SKIPPER i want to work there..i really do!!!
14 years later and this video is still going!
Yup it is
Defunctland documentary about the ride's history leads to one of the Skippers' AMA on Reddit, which leads to here. :3
So your a skipper
yes
I swear I cry every time I watch this! JAWS Skipper 1996-1999
"Excuse me sir is this a water ride?"
"No, it's just a show" *tear*
Adventures In Amity:Tales From The Jaws Ride book brought me here. Fair play to everyone involved. Good job. I miss Jaws even more now 😢

six years later, Jaws wouldn't be so lucky.

More of the same please!!!!!
6:37 I'M DYING I think every ride could have been improved by the presence of a JAWS Skipper!

15 years ago, wow.
Truly a masterpiece
THEY NEED TO BRING THE RIDE BACK!
they already build the harrry potter ride
They could probably build a more intense indoor version of Jaws based off of Jaws: The Revenge
Actually its ate universal studio’s japan
I was just talking to my friend how the most awesome thing ever would be Jaws: The Musical, and I was right
I work at Disneyworld and have worked a few attractions and if they have half the dedication and love for their rides Disney would be back to the good days of guest sevice. Thanks Universal!
They need to bring this back
We need a "where are they now" reprise..
I loved this! The folks at Universal are the most creative I've ever worked with and this just demonstrates it beautifully! Thanks for captioning, but you missed the Universal Interpreters!?!
We need to make a petition!!!!
This video has predicted it's future
This made my day. So funny and so creative!
Yes -- it went seasonal for a while due to gas prices, but complaints opened it back up for a few more years.
"oh no i dont wanna go to mummy!" lol
I started there in '94 when I joined Universal...good ole Jaws!!!
At last... I’ve found the video :)
OMG all the feels!
Wow you guys did an awesome job with this video. Oh and love the fact that it's captioned. :) Would have been cooler with a sign lang interpreter. (I hear you have some good ones at the park hee hee)
Very nice video...makes me wanna work for universal!

King Kong and Jaws were wonderful in Orlando
That was great. You rock skippers!
Hilarious! Great work and very original.
Still cannot believe it's closing for real...
Published on my birthday.

I want a Amity Boat Tours skipper shirt to wear when I'm walking through the new Harry Potter area and see if security hassles me... lol

Awesome! Loved the video.

@coutts12 Jaws The Musical was done at a fringe festival. Fruitless search, however. =[
Jaws Was saved just in time
love this!
isn't enough, but it's pretty intensive
Nice
So did this actually happen? Universal let it hang around a little longer and then ultimately destroyed it?
Amazing!
CLASSIC
OMG thats was awesome! I love How they song RENT lol thats was cool XD
