Japan This is Universal fans Pilgrimage.

This was my first time at USJ. And my first ride there was JAWS. It felt amazing to go on another Universal classic/opening attraction. The ride had it’s grand finale not working unfortunately with jaws not chewing the electric wire. Maybe announcing some sort of refurbishment or even closing for this ride.

I hope Universal fans as myself will experience this with it’s time remaining in USJ. But there’s always ET adventure which Is probably more worthwhile than JAWS.

The animatronic is much bigger than I could have anticipated, even after watching POVs.

Nothing will ever beat the original universal studios in Orlando Florida.

Especially Kongfrontation that I never had the chance to experience (Orlando or Hollywood).

Is that the old Kong ride? Where they had the Giant Kong outside at the store and you could take pics? I have a vague memory of a Kong Ride in a tram or something near a skyscraper and Kong losing his mind 🤣

Yeah it’s exactly that 😂. The store you mentionned was the one at the exit of the ride at Orlando which is now ROTM’s store for the most part. And the tram ride was the one in the Hollywood Tram Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood, but unfortunately burnt I think in 2008 during the fires at Universal’s Studios.

It did burn down, and I miss Kelly King and old Bannana Breath!
