Jaws

Frommer's Review

As your boat heads into the 7-acre, 5-million-gallon lagoon, a dorsal fin appears on the surface. Then, what goes with the fin -- a 3-ton, 32-foot, mechanical great white shark -- tries to sink its urethane teeth into your hide (or at least your boat's). A 30-foot wall of flame that surrounds the vessel truly causes you to feel the heat in this $45-million attraction. I won't tell you exactly how it ends, but in spite of a captain who can't hit the broad side of a dock with his grenade launcher, some lucky Orlando restaurant will be serving blackened shark tonight. (Tip: The effects of this ride are far more spectacular after dark.) Note: While it lacks a height requirement, the shark may be too intense for some kids younger than age 6, and Universal recommends that expectant mothers avoid it.
