[edit] Scary

I think the ride was absoloutley scary when it went through the tunnel and it was pitch black. You can see nothing but you can hear motions in the water and as you reach the end of the tunnel, the shark comes out and attacks the boat. There are 3 attacks alltogether. 2 Outside and 1 in the tunnel.

[edit] Trivia

Is the trivia section too long? RJFJR 01:52, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's a question of it being too long, I think it's more a question of it being accurate... UD75 10:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

The triangles say '76 because the theme of the Amity area is that it's the Fourth of July weekend, which is where much of the action in the film takes place.DailyRich 05:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attraction name

The correct name of this article should be "JAWS" but that just refers to the Jaws disambig page. I'm not sure how to change this. --blm07 18:57, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I moved it to "JAWS (ride)" which I'm not sure I should have done, seeing as the movie's article is "Jaws (film)". Maybe it should have been moved to "Jaws (ride)". And for some reason, this article refuses to show up in my watch list. --blm07 23:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major Tidy-Up Needed

Anyone willing to help in tidying this article up? It could have a lot of promise, but just now all we have is a barely legible "ride premise" and some fun facts of dubious trivia... For a start, it reffers to the old incarnation of Jaws as being the "1993" version... surprising, because it is the 1993 version that's still in operation today... ;) I'm willing to do the tidy up if no one else is.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JAWS logo.png

Image:JAWS logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blacklisted site

The interesting and detailed website about the history, development and construction of the Jaws Rides at Universal theme parks is currently blacklisted from appearing as a link on Wikipedia. AmityIsland [dot] net deserves a link from this page. As it covers the movies as well as the rides, it should also be linked from the Jaws (movie) pages and also pages about the Jaws attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. Any comments, admins? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thestudiotour (talk • contribs) 20:10, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree. This is a wonderfully detailed and highly informative website which deseves a link on this page. I can't even imagine why it is blocked from Wikipedia.--Universal Studios Number 1 Fan (talk) 20:50, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
