1990 Universal Studios Florida - The ORIGINAL JAWS RIDE Training Video!

I was a Jaws boat skipper in 1994 and 1995 at Universal Studios Florida. I loved every moment of my time there spent battling a mechanical shark and, to date, it is one of my favorite theme park memories. In 2012, word got out that the ride was closing permanently. I decided to organize one final ride with some of the original skippers dating back to the attraction's reopening from the nineties. Here's my blog post about it: http://www.tomcroom.com/2011/12/02/universal-studios-jaws-reunion/

Orlando Weekly covered the reunion and did a nice write up about it: https://www.orlandoweekly.com/orlando/live-active-cultures/Content?oid=2248047

I later discussed that and my other Jaws-related adventures for the book Adventures in Amity: Tales From The Jaws Ride. You can get a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Amity-Tales-Jaws-Ride/dp/0692147071

ABOUT ME: I’m a Gen X geek that’s been into the pop culture convention scene since high school. I went on to start a popular anime club in college that eventually became a successful event production company. I tend to post on my personal blog (TomCroom.com) where I wax-poetic about traveling, food, and my involvement in the anime industry as it relates to consumer-focused media trade shows. Occasionally I post a YouTube video as a supplement to those stories.
