Get ready to sink your teeth into a summer of thrills because JAWS is turning 50—and Universal Studios is going all out to celebrate this legendary film! Starting this May, both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort are bringing the JAWS frenzy back to life with themed merchandise, specialty food, and jaw-dropping experiences.
Released in June 1975, JAWS wasn’t just a movie—it was a cinematic game-changer. Directed by Steven Spielberg, it sent shockwaves through audiences and kept plenty of people (myself included – but years later) far away from the ocean. Even now, filmmakers still reference its iconic shots, and let’s be honest—hearing those two simple notes duunnn dun… still sends a chill down your spine. You know that means something big is coming!
A Coast-to-Coast JAWS Celebration
Universal Orlando Resort
- Grab a bite (but hopefully not from a shark) with specialty food and drinks at Chez Alcatraz.
- Snap an iconic pic with the hanging great white shark—a must for any JAWS fan!
- This summer, catch the Universal Mega Movie Parade, featuring a themed float, a drumline performing the JAWS score, and plenty of fan-favorite characters from the film!
Universal Studios Hollywood
- Face off with the menacing great white as you cruise through Amity Island on the World-Famous Studio Tour.
- More surprises are on the way—stay tuned for additional celebratory activities!
Universal Studios Japan
- If you’re a die-hard JAWS fan, this is the ultimate spot to visit! Universal Studios Japan is home to an entire Amity Village, featuring the JAWS attraction, Amity Landing Restaurant, exclusive merchandise, and, of course, a photo-op with the infamous shark himself.
