About LinkBacksAmity at Universal Studios Florida is closing to make way for a new land, so here is a tour of the former land! These pictures were taken in early November 2011, except a few from November 2008.
Views of Amity from the World Expo waterfront:
Entrance from San Francisco:
Amusements area:
The fictitious New England fishing village from the Film 'Jaws' was the focus of the theme of Amity, pinned to a particular time of year: July 4th. Next to the permanent buildings of the village was an area of amusements and games and food stands, supposedly set up for an Independence Day celebration.
Village:
Several of the village buildings lined the informal cobbled street on one side and the waterfront on the other.
Surf Shack:
Amusements area near the Surf Shack:
Boardwalk Snacks:
More village:
Square:
The street widened at this square, where the recently caught Jaws had been hoisted. This memorable icon acted as the entrance area to the land's ride, Jaws.
Jaws queue area:
Jaws loading dock:
A waterfront viewing area between the loading and unloading docks provided a view of part of this mildly thrilling narrated boat ride.
Jaws area village:
The loading area and first part of the ride featured the outskirts of Amity along the waterfront; the ride's waterway was actually its own, separated from the park's main lake (upon which the other side of Amity was located). The ride traveled beyond the lighthouse and around a corner before encountering Jaws several times, out of view of the village, until returning to the unloading dock. I was an obedient tourist and did not take pictures on the ride!
Jaws unloading dock:
Village Circle Hall (restrooms):
This was located at the end of the street before the theme ended.
