Hardly anything was finished. But I was lucky enough to ride (and video) the original Jaws

Actually I was at Unverisal back mid-90's I think??? Jaws worked and was themed well but sorry a fake shark popping up out of the water just didn't do it for me. I was on Diaster back when it was Earthquake I do think it's better now than then but it still isn't great at all. Saw Kong as well. I liked Back to the Future but it's been changed no big deal. Everyone has his/her favorites for what ever reasons.

Mid 90s would have been the new Jaws, the one that closed nearly a year ago now.
The original at first glance looked the same but was a very different ride that was only ever open for a few days in its existence.

I would like Fast and Furious themed ride and if done right it would out last the movies by a long time.

It could replace Fear Factor Live

There's not enough space there for it. A ride based on the Fast and the Furious would take up a decent amount of space I'm sure.

There's an expansion pad between Simpsons and MIB.

Think of it this way. JAWS, while good but only remained opened out of nostalgia(and cost a ton of money to run). is being replaced by Harry Potter, one of the most popular franchises in the world. The simpsons is getting an experience where you can eat in a restaurant/bar from the show. And lastly, Transformers ,is getting a high tech dark ride in replacement of nothing but a vacant building. And that's only stuff confirmed/close to confirmed. So yeah, it's better now...

That's debatable...but once Potter 2.0 opens, I think new Uni for sure gives old Uni a run for its money.

I still wish the parks would somehow pay homage to the classics...King Kong, Back to the Future, and Jaws!
