I love how they put on their best act for the final ride. Truly legends

"we gotta go through it!" *fire finishes too soon* "uh... we scared the fire away!"

For all who miss this ride or are discovering it now on youtube and never made it, Universal studios Japan has a almost identical Jaws ride to what was Jaws Universal Orlando still going even now in 2023. I went last year and it brought back the memories when I used to go to Orlando before they tore it down. Very unique to hear the boat Captains do their parts in Japanese. Was absolutely awesome

Give Skipper Jacob a raise!! He sold the hell out of that ride 😂 terrified me as a kid but makes me laugh watching it now. Good memories at Universal Orlando

I'm guessing he's not actually steering it- but he does such a good job that makes it look like his is. And yeah absolutely fantastic acting. It's so well syced with the set pieces.

This guy is an icon for being so enthusiastic about his job

I absolutely love how enthusiastic everyone is, both the skipper and the audience. I love when people really get into this sort of thing.

going through memory lane with this video

This tour guide guy might be the best, most energetic, fun guide ive ever seen! He REALLY does an awesome job!!!

The guys filming the video had the best energy and really complimented the actors show so well, genuinely made me smile cus I remember this ride from a kid, I hope it come back

There's no way y'all are gonna say this wasn't your childhood. Nostalgia!

I actually watched this when I was younger. I did end up getting to ride it, but it was in Japan.' The Skipper Lady was great! Too bad I only understood about half of what she was saying! Luckily I remembered the gust of it from these videos. Im glad I got to live my dream.

People: GOO GO GO GO GOOOO! The guy: you scared the fire away

UKposts: 2012: nahhh 2013: ehh 2015: nope 2019: PUT ON EVERYONES RECOMMENDED

When I was a kid when I went on UKposts I would always watch this video then think about theories in my head Thank you

If they remade this ride using newer technology and more realistic water animatronics, this ride would be amazing

Dude was a better actor than half of Hollywood

Can anyone describe to me what the training for this is like? This guy does such a fantastic job bringing this experience to life for the riders and he has so many cues to keep track of like “controlling” the direction of the boat with the wheel, syncing up the shots in the water from the gun with his aim, remembering the script so he can accurately and properly respond to his team members “communicating” with him (I assume this is just pre-recorded audio) like this is a lot of stuff to be keeping track of and he has to be at a constant level of high energy. What I’m imagining is that you would likely first sit in on the ride a few times with someone who already has experience and has lead the attraction many times before. Then they would take you on a few laps around the full attraction without guests so you would get the hang of all the cues until you were comfortable and then finally when you were ready you would become an official skipper for the ride?

I always dreamed of riding this when I was 5 and then I heard of it closing down and felt so heartbroken, I watch this video and it helps, thank you TPR

bro I went in late July 2023, and realised they long got rid of the Jaws ride. I only got to ride 1 of my 2 dream rides 😭

I love how into these guys are. Especially that tour guide, he's great. Love how he acts and I love how he talks to the people on the ride, as if it was an actual ride and not just a ride at an amusement park. He takes this seriously and had fun with it, instead of speaking the lines like some people would have. I love it.

the announcer person is such a great actor and like he also makes things funny 10/10 he needs to be in a movie

The music at the end, and the woman on the dock waving reassuringly makes me happy. How bittersweet!

I love how everyone's here after 12 years

Man, give this guy a better Job. Look how he does it with pleasure and absolutely engagement. Great guy.

This ride was legendary. Sucks they had to take it out. But I understand by keeping a ride like this maintain for 30 years is a constant nightmare. I'm glad I got my last ride in 2011.

An enthusiastic actor over the boat who could not have been selected for movies but joined this job Anyways hope these people are alive and got themselves safe by these studio's network

who watch this now in 2024 is it just me

*Shark comes up* *Everybody is screaming* Shark:I just came to say hi :( *Shark goes back down* *Everybody’s fine now*

The acting 20/10 but the group on the boat frickin 1,000,000/10 😂😂

Rest in peace Jaws. It was a wonderful ride ❤

Captain Jake is so funny! The way he said “40mm grenade launcher” had me rolling. He’s very energetic as well.

*WE BE WATCHING IN 2021! :D*

That guy is full of energy :D

I relly forgot this video but i remembered this is nostalgic

I remember watching this as a kid almost every day

No one could have done this except… SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK 😂😂😂

Everyone rn: in quarantine at their computers doing school. Me: i’M aT A tHeMe PaRk

Jacob was giving this last ride his all! I've compared most Jaws ride videos and this guy definetly has the most energy. I think all the excited last riders helped. You can just tell they are having so much fun.

This is first ride video i ever saw as a child. I also like the part where the shark keeps scaring them and the driver bringing the viewers to the dark place.

"We're gonna be shark bait in ten minutes!" "Don't say that!" My favorite part XD

man serious props to the driver/conductor, such high energy and good acting, he has to this 6days a week for 8 hours non stop, serious props to him

My childhood is back 😩❤️‍🩹

I went on this when I was 5 years old, and Mannnnnnn I cried the entire time 😅 I thought everything was real and couldnt understand why they would allow such a scary ride in the happiest place in the world

i’m so confused why are the comments so recent and why are half of them stupid questions like “is the shark real?” it’s universal. it’s the damn JAWS ride. of course it’s fake.

The guy is spot on with his acting! And the shark looks pretty realistic, props on to whoever made the animatronic!

I rode on this masterpiece for the first time in the summer of 94 and the for the last time in fall of 02. It’s sad that I cannot share this with my children now in 2024.

I absolutely love the vibe of the crowd and operator 😭😭

Why are people saying its fake? Its a ride not a aquarium. What do people want real live sharks in the water? Or fake cgi shit. I've been on this ride its was fun.

This guy is freaking professional. It even looked like he was actually steering the boat.

I road this when I was little and was too afraid to open my eyes . When I got older I was ready to finally go on it with my eyes open but sadly it was removed. I was so bummed. They just don’t make amazing rides like this anymore

Captain Jake gave it his all! His movements were so fluid but also full of energy, he worked the crew well, and his timing is impeccable! This ride was just as awesome as I remember it was as a kid. So sad that it's gone.

This dude’s such a good actor

5:20 WHAT A DAY. best part rofl... I hope they paid this guy enough cause his acting was on point

When I was a little kid I would watch videos of the ride all the time and always wanted to get on it, by the time I made it to universal I missed the ride by about a year! Tough luck

I guess this guy is the most famous skipper in the universal studios jaws franchise.

Nobody: UKposts: Lets Put this on recommended 7 years later

OMG I WATCHED THIS VIDEO WHEN I WAS A CHILD, THIS IS SO NOSTALGIC

This is so nostalgic

2012- nah 2013-nah 2014- nah 2015- nah 2016- nah 2017- nah 2018-nah 2019-let’s throw this in everyone’s recommended

hats off to the guy at the front, how he keeps his energy levels and enthusiasm so high over and over and over again all day, well hats off to him.

Bring Jaws back in a future expansion of Epic Universe PLEASE.

I absolutely love this. This guy works all day doing the same routine and it probably gets tiring but the crowd he had probably made his day. They were all there just having a great time.

SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK AHHHHHHHH SHARK SHARK SHARK best part Edit: I never knew shouting GO GO GO GO GO would put out a fire huh you learn something new every day

Wow Jacob is so good at his job, he's really engaging.

This ride was my childhood. Absolutely terrifying as a kid lol

man this was nostalgic. I was like 9 years old riding this after getting lunch and wanting a ride that was low energy. Good times

Lol glad the guys are enjoying themselves. I don’t think they’re being annoying, just being kids at heart

It had to have made the skipper feel so much better about his job with that particular crew of people making it into like a real scene. That's just awesome. 👏🏻

Shark: Tries to kill riders Riders: Woo!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Going through my mom's old laptop with photos and videos and saw my little brother probably four watching this. The only words I could make from the video were Universal Studios Orlando For TPR and stumbled upon this video and yep, it's the one because he loved Jaws! I'm not very old to say this, but, I feel old lol

Jacob is a really good actor.

Literally no one: UKposts: lets recommend this 7 years later!

Remembering riding this with my family back early 2000s 😢

Back in 2017 this is one of my favorite best video in the whole entire UKposts gonna rewatch it for memories

I love how the employee has so much energy and acts like this is real to make us believe the ride is actually happening.

I love how energetic everyone is in thisssss 10/10

After 6 years u gotta bring this back

Bring this ride back

I loved this ride, I miss it. I can't belive they closed a CLASSIC. Even though the sharks are FAKE and alot of people dont understand this is for FUN to get WET and ENJOY the ride. It was alot of fun in the end.

This guy just honestly kills it what a great host and actor!!..he better get paid well

The best ride ! Why haven’t they brought that back my gawd what a treasure

3:31 “We out of here...or not”-Famous lasts words

Shark: exists this guy: SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK SHARK

That boat tour guy is AMAZING at his job!

Hey, the guide in this ride has probably never worked a day in his life with a job like this... Kudos to him...

Who remembers watching this as a kid?

Skipper Jacob seems like a great skipper. And the whole boat was into the Show. I hope he was able to find another fun role after this ride closed down - he seems like a natural for Jungle Cruise.

I gotta respect Jacob's work ethic and enthusiasm

Who watched this a bunch as a kid 👇

Its been along time since i didnt watch this, and this year 2023 ive watched it again and its bring my childhood even when i see this guy at the boat i smiled so hard.. :)

when i was younger i always thought this was real and everytime i went on the ride i clung onto my dad for dear life and was terrified. I wish they didn’t close so i could appreciate it without being scared, i miss it.

This guy seems like someone who loves their job on a spiritual level. All the best for him 👍✌

I watch this video at least once a year and I never realized how much I loved the energy everyone on the ride had lol

i did this when i was in 3rd grade and it traumatized me for a good 6 or 7 years😭

Dude deserves a raise he made the ride really fun

lmao i love the one guy that just screams shark shark shark shark shark everytime it shows up XD

I remember being deathly afraid if this ride as a kid but liked watching the video regardless. every time I would watch it I would end up bawling my eyes out and go for days without bathing out of fear that a really poorly designed shark would get me.

God I remember watching this on my moms phone at least 10 times when I was like 4 Then it just suddenly popped in my mind and I had to watch it

This guy is a better actor than Jaden Smith!
