It was also one of the biggest headaches the parks ever dealt with.Join us for the return of the J-Bang(!!!) as we pick apart what happened, follow the recriminations and discuss some amazing behind-the-scenes theme park designers who worked on this ambitious, and occasionally reckless, attraction.It's so much Jaws goodness that you're gonna need a bigger boat. ================================================================Special shout-out to Dustin McNeill's excellent "Adventures in Amity: Tales from the Jaws Ride" (https://www.harkerpress.com/jaws)And to Sam Gennawey's "Universal vs. Disney" (https://shop.adventurewithkeen.com/product/universal-vs-disney/)Thanks for listening!We'd love it if you would give us a review on your podcast platform of choice: iTunes, Spotify, etc...
