JAWS
In the fishing village of Amity Village, the threat of the man-eating shark seems to be over. Time for a pleasant boat trip around the harbour. But then the gigantic great white shark from JAWS appears.
The concept
You board a tour boat with a guide who takes you around Amity harbour. It soon becomes clear that the shark is far from gone. Guns and even fire make no impression on the monster. With its huge jaws and sharp teeth, it even bites into the hull of a ship.
The Experience
The ride is thrilling, but also suitable for young children. Expect explosions, a few big scares and splashing water. A trip lasts about seven minutes. Until 31 January 2027 inclusive, the ride has extra effects in the evening for the park's 25th anniversary (times may change).
Discover JAWS
Sit on the outside
That is where you are closest to the shark and the water.
Take a photo with the shark
A hoisted shark hangs on the quayside. At Jaws Photo you can have a photo taken in its jaws.
Use the single rider queue
A boat has 48 seats. Via the single rider queue your turn often comes sooner.
Visitor information
You can ride on your own from 1.22 metres. With a companion there is no minimum height, but small children must have their own seat and are not allowed on laps. A companion must be at least secondary school age and meet the attraction's requirements themselves. There is a single rider queue and Child Switch. With a Universal Express Pass (sold separately) you skip the regular queue if this attraction is on your pass. You may get wet.
A park classic
JAWS belongs to Universal Studios Japan just as the shark belongs to Amity. After the trip, play funfair games at Amity Boardwalk Games or grab an ice cream at Amity Ice Cream.
