Jaws 50th Anniversary at USF

Since Universal is doing a little something for the 50th, might as well have a thread for it.

Universal Orlando to celebrate Jaws 50th Anniversary with limited-time Amity area

Universal Orlando is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Jaws by bringing the village of Amity back to Universal Studios Florida for a limited time. Taking over the dock area of San Francisco, near Chez Alcatraz and the Jaws photo op, Universal has recreated a "Little Amity" section, full of sign

I know it's not going to happen but it would be pretty cool if this culminated with an announcement that Jaws is coming back and replacing supercharged... One can hope

Anyone know if there is anything left to come that hasn't shown up yet? I know to expect the sipper and the menus for the food booths, but I was curious if anything else is planned?

Can we get the photo update posts shifted into this thread just to keep an easier reference?

*goes to give the IU article a quick read*

I'm hoping those Jaws Freestyle Cups will still be available when I get there at the end of September.

Is that blue JAWS bag actually a lunchbox??? curious to see if the merch is the same for both Orlando & Hollywood

NITPICK: Okay I have to be THAT fanboy & point out the JAWS Ride photo-op backdrop. The shark doesn't "attack" on that side of the island! That's the load platform boarding dock side! They couldn't be bothered to give us the actual "kill shark"/high voltage barge image?? *grumbles in fanboy*

Other than that poorly photo-shopped backdrop, the area looks great. Love that the 4th of July banner returned. "Little Amity" needs to be official & remain.
