Disney4me Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago It’s a big year for Universal Orlando! Universal Orlando Resort The brand new theme park Epic Universe opens in May, Terra Luna opens this month, and there’s a new After Hours event that is sure to be a blast! While all of the new things are exciting, Universal has shared it’s time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic movie, Jaws! Steven Spielberg’s classic film Jaws is turning 50 this year! This iconic movie has scared and elated fans for decades now so Universal decided it’s time to celebrate. Starting us off, to commemorate the anniversary, Universal Studio Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood will release a brand-new merchandise collection! ©Universal The collection will include a new skipper, crossbody bag, baseball cap, cooler bag, tank top, shirts, and more! We can’t wait to deck out in our favorite Amity Island merchandise while we take pictures with the shark himself. (You can spot him in both Universal parks.) ©Universal If merchandise isn’t the most exciting way for you to celebrate, Universal has got you covered! Over at Chez Alcatraz, you’ll find that famous shark along with specialty food and beverages. There he is! Starting in April, the Universal Mega Movie Parade is returning and we couldn’t be more excited! This parade was a big hit last summer and our favorite characters from Jaws are back. The parade will also have a live marching drum line performing the famous songs from the movie next to the theme float.

Hop on the Studio Tour where you can come face to face with the shark and some really cool pyrotechnics as you drive past the set. To add to the celebrations, Universal hinted at some additional activities that will be announced at a later date. Amity Island! We can’t wait to have some fun celebrations safely in the parks and away from the water (and sharks)! While we are super excited for this major anniversary, we still won’t forget that Jaws ride we lost in Universal Studios Orlando… but we might turn a blind eye during the festivities.
