The Original Jaws Ride We Never Got To Experience

Everyone who has ridden on the Universal Studios Hollywood Studio Tour has wondered one thing- why isn't there a Jaws ride at the Hollywood theme park?

Well, it may have something to do with the fact that Universal Studios Florida introduced a Jaws ride in 1990 that is now considered the most expensive theme park failure of all time.

Yesterworld Entertainment put together this fun video which was inspired by this Theme Park Tourist article about the ill-fated first edition Jaws ride that Universal Studios remade into a legendary attraction.

Looks like 2 of the girls had massive growth spurts in between photo#1 and photo#2.
And the dark-skined boy in the front row with the green-striped shirt didn't show up for photo#2, so he has to keep the first one.

I'd feel kinda singled out if I was the only kid in my class with a face.

Seriously, this makes me wonder who this is catering to: the little boy who lives in that wheelchair, or everybody else who would prefer to ignore the handicapped in our society and pretend that they don't exist. I thought the second picture might actually include the boy, in his chair, more centrally, rather than shoving him off to the side like in the first.
The first was definitely wrong. But is the second one right? I suppose it's nice to have a picture without the chair.
